    am trying to find out how much my corrado was when it was brand new. Does anyone know the prices of the different models when new, and how much some of the extras cost?

    since buying mine, i've averaged about £230 per month on repairs, £50-60 per week on fuel i've only had it 7months, but have found alot of stuff like bearing, brakes and just general stuff is needing replacing now its done 140,000 miles Deffo not a cheap car to own, from my experience's, i could of spent my money on something newer/less miles etc, but it wouldn't be a corrado then :D

    i found soaking the blue clips in boiling water first helped no end, at first the whole panel was bending in :! clip seemed way too big for hole. i got some pics of how my badges came out somewhere, i did them black as chrome paint just came out too silver and too light

    admittance is the first step on the road to recovery :lol: i think i'm still in denial :oops:
  21. Jim Bowen
    i use fishing line and hook it behind the badge and carefully "saw" it off so to speak, being sure not too rub against the car too much Chrome paint came out crap btw, was £7 for a tiny spray can

    i bought mine with 130k and all the stamps, i also have been getting the book stamped, twice since i've had it but i also agree with Dinkus and don't think its that important, as long as you can see its had the money and time spent looking after it
  23. Jim Bowen
