Some more G60 history, not my scans, I think I found this on vw vortex. Hard to read, you might need an image broswer so you can view it at 200% :wink:

A few piccies in here: http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=3174 Kinda dark, sort of like dusty mauve :D

Vee Dubya. Approx £125

Heres a video animation which shows you what you need to know. Hope you know some german though :D http://www.polofreaks.de/G-Lader-Anim.AVI btw, he calls it the 'gay larder' :lol: Also:

I went to the VW action show near Luton in June - was soo bad in my opinion :( The things I liked were the beautiful Karman Ghias and some restored beetles. Werent any Corrado's there :? I had some pictures of the event, but only the good bits like that black Ghia with the red flames 8) Was totally mint

My webspace will probably die for a few hours after a few hundred views of these pics - dunno how much bandwidth I'm allowed, need to find another host. ------------- Campaign Corrado :shock: http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... ign-1b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... ign-2b.jpg Corrado VR6 Turbo :shock: :shock: :shock: :evil: http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-01b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-02b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-03b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-04b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-05b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-06b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-07b.jpg http://www.golf.homechoice.co.uk/corrad ... do-08b.jpg

Erm.. The mk2 Golf 1.8 16v has 139bhp, the Corrado 1.8 16v and 2.0 16v had 3bhp less for some peculiar reason :? And I have to say the Golf 16v certainly feels a shade quicker. Must be b'cos it weighs slightly less

Gotta get me one of these: http://www.lcars.eu.org/autotaser.uk/ :lol:

Storms have heated leather and BBS Solitude wheels, came in 2 or 3 colours I think - Blue, Green and maybe another. 500 were made.

I wondered this too, 'cos I'm after a VR6 with leather & air con. Apparently, air-con was never a factory option! If you asked for it when you bought the car, VW would fit the Davi-air system (think thats what its called). Yeah I'll probably get people saying it was fitted as an option, but I got my information from a very reliable source - a cousin who worked for them for years, and has also worked for Mercedes, BMW, & Ferrari dealerships, so he knows a thing or two :) . Air con isnt even mentioned in the sales brochure, but leather is.

Is that the Holts can you're referring to? :shock: I hope not! Maybe I'd better put the can in the shed

Anyone know what year they were made 'til? I think its 1996, but are the last ones N-reg, or P-reg?

Yeah they've got a Holts colour match service, with a computer that shows the weights of the colours that make up the paint. Alternatively, the original poster could try here: http://www.carpaint.co.uk/automotive_paint.htm £10 for a 400ml aerosol, instead of £8.99 for a 300ml Halfords can.

:D Yeah I think you could be right. I went for some paint a month ago, no problems with the kid that served me, we had a nice chat, and i was there as he mixed the paint - So i made sure that the weights of the colours was accurate The paint was a perfect match. I went back there about 2 weeks ago for some more, and some twat served me, getting all cocky. I got so pissed off, I wrote Halford a letter - my 1st ever complaint. Hope the little shit gets the sack! Here's what I wrote: :D ------------ Dear Sir/Madam, This is the first time I have ever felt the need to write a letter of complaint about the level of customer service in any store I’ve shopped at. An incident with a member of your staff in the ****** ****** Retail Park branch of Halfords on Saturday the 2nd of August prompts this letter. At around 3pm on the aforementioned date, I approached a young blonde male member of staff – I didn’t take note of his name. I asked to have some car paint mixed up to order, and we made our way to the paint mixing area of the store. I then asked him politely to make sure he would be as accurate as possible with the paint measurements, as being even a small fraction out can produce an entirely different shade of paint, and that would stand out on any car. His reply - with a ‘couldn’t care less’ attitude was: “Yeah I’m gonna cock it up deliberately for you...” I didn’t find this comment particularly helpful. He asked me to come back in 15mins whilst he made up the paint. I asked if I could stay, just to make sure the mixture was correct. I had been in the store a month before, and the chap that served me on that occasion had no problems, so I assumed this blonde young man wouldn’t mind either. As he took out the various paints, I could sense his obvious dissatisfaction with my request. His sighs and huffs were all too obvious. I asked, “have you got a problem with me?” His response: “Yes I do. I don’t like people watching me work” I stood there in amazement and wondered what sort of customer service this was. He then turned to me and snarled: “do you want to mix it yourself?” At which point I had enough and asked him to fetch the manager. He stormed off saying “I’ve had enough” and asked his colleague to “deal” with me instead. I did not get the chance to speak to the manager; as I left the store after being told they didn’t even have the correct paints in stock. --------------------------- I got a letter back saying they are looking into it :lol:

Oh, I've just remembered - In the Rabbit article it says you put the new intercooler in the area where the radiator goes. I'm just curious, you dont have a radiator?? :? I love the way your car looks standard, the suspenion drop looks great with the standard wheels, a real sleeper :D

Nice G60, I saw it in Rabbit magazine too :D

Yeah, you saw the post as i was creating it - i accidently clicked 'submit' when i shouldnt have :oops: So you ended up seeing 'image not available tags' Here's what you should have seen: Corrado's: 16vG60: My favourite, sherry red.. mmmmmm what a beauty Rallye's: Mk1's: My friends prize-winning, £6000 Mk1 campaign: I dont like the look of those pikeys in the top left: :lol: Jeroen Dik's 360bhp mk1: Mk2's: Mk4's: Others: Freakshow: Is it a Golf? Is it a Corrado? No its a complete mess... you should see this car's frontend closeup, especially with the bonnet shut!

Yeah I know it was ages ago, I was just too lazy to post 'em. :lol: Enjoy. Had to clean this post up as it went a bit haywire.. your image provider didn't like you to host images directly off their site, so I just took the ones I could actually get and posted them as attachments. Unfortunately there are no C's in these images, but still felt they were worth sorting out -- jims16v.

M100 VRG That number plate rings a bell, I'm sure I took a photo of your car at GTI International :) I'll post some pics from the show in the members gallery I think.

I've got the article about that purple Corrado when it was in the Golf magazine about 4 or 5 years back. I think at the time it was the 1st turbo'd Corrado that Stealth did. It cost the owner over 10grand if i recall.... :shock: Price might have come down since then :lol: If i had a scanner i'd post the article, its very good. Ive got a digital camera, but obviously the pages dont come out as well. I'll see if i can get it scanned at some point 8)

I was under the impression that it had 3 owners in the last few months, and they all seem to get rid of it after a short while :? Shame, cos it looks nice :lol:

Hi folks, I'm sure I've seen this car advertised about 3x in the last 6 months. It was in scotland, the midlands, now its in wales. :shock: http://www.performancevwmag.com/classif ... ed+Kingdom I *think* its the same G60, its got the same wheels, back lights, tuning mods.. Perhaps one of u guys has seen it in the flesh. Is there a problem with it, if these people keep getting shot of it? :?
