:D You wanna buy the whole thing off me? Had considered breaking it, but have nowhere to store it as I live in a first floor flat and have no drive. I can't even park outside, I have to go two streets away. Its actually in pretty good nick, everything works and the paint isn't too pink either. Bummer. Seems like such a waste considering how rare the Corrado is, especially as it seems like a lot have been broken up recently.

you make a good point and yeah, there's a very tasty blackberry vr on the trader for @4k that's been catching my eye. i would love to keep my valver, but i do feel the call and my savings are aching to be dipped into....

Well, it seems that the insurance company want to write my car off, as they reckon it'll take 1600 quid to repair and the car is only worth 1000. I'm considering getting a part payment from them and paying the rest myself or should I just scrap it, get the money and buy another C? I've been wanting an upgrade for a while, but also don't want to see another scrapped when it still works, but has body damage.

That's the most pointless competition ever! Making a full sized car-cake would take more than 5 days and cost more than £100. Doesn't surprise me its the mail though. Anyway, I love the ad, its really innovative. I wonder how they managed to get the mirrors to stay on, maybe there's some kind of cunning internal framework shenanigans going on.

I'm in like Flynn.

Black leather is a bonus, probably worth 800 notes on its own! Welcome to the valver club. Solidarity brother.There's quite a few how-to's in the search if you get stuck with the spoiler too.

Bejazuz, that's bad luck. I'm thinking my car is cursed too, I'm actually considering getting it blessed! I'm not religious but you never know. The insurance people haven;t got back to me yet but I don't think I'm going to claim, luckily I've got a bit of spare cash hanging around, so I'll fix it myself and change the insurance to protected no claims! Haven't been out to scout the 4x4s yet, but I think it was someone reversing round the corner, as mine was the last in the row and there were roadworks on the road it leads onto. I'm still fuming, but as duke_st says, bad luck comes in 3s, so hopefully.... Oh yeah, and there's two slight creases in the boot. Buggeration.

Married? :lol:

I'm starting to get very depressed with my car. It seems to be target practice for whoever feels like coming along and taking chunks off of it. Its been broken into, had the fogs nicked and now I find that someone has driven up the back of my car and then legged it. I phoned the insurance company who said that I would lose my no-claims as there were no witnesses and no-one to claim from. Are they right in saying this? I don't think I have protected no-claims, but surely my full comp would cover it? Luckily it seems to be only the back panel and the Corrado badge that has been biffed. What a sh*tter.

If only you had a picture or avatar of some. :lol:

Probably not the best idea to announce driving under the under influence of drugs on a public forum.... He never said it was lit....

Yes, you'd definitely want something more sturdy. And maybe a fluorescent orange jacket too. I still can't get over the crash test dummy in the Golf smacking his face into the pillar/crushed wing. Aye carumba!

I like Ham, but dislike bras even more. Leave it unfettered and free. The front is meant to be left as the great designers intended. Why cover it with a bra?

This is scary stuff, apologies if its a repost.

Was behind one of these in Wandsworth when it got sideswiped by a truck. It was pretty hairy, the back wheels got lifted off the ground, I bet the blonde on the passenger seat was screaming! The corvette was on the left and so low down that I don't think the driver saw it, probably a good thing he was on work insurance, the bill can't have been cheap.

yeah he posted as I was scouring the net for pics! That dude in vwdev's post is just not cricket.

Easy one for the b-boy

Harry Gouda-Flex?

i got mine attached with small bits of blu-tack. it'll never rattle off again.

What a berk. Great music if you're a clanger.

Same as me then. Oh yeah, and stick a supercharger in. Seriously!

Very nice and tidy. Lower it, badgeless grill, leather interior? You on 15"s? EDIT - and maybe lop off a few inches from the exhaust tip...you'll have someone's eye out with that.

Welcome to the forum and back to the wonderful world of VAG matey. I've had my C a year now and still smile every time I drive it. Blackberry VR6... I'm sooo jealous, saving my pennies for one. Best colour by a long shot, the C was made for it. To save yourself from the wrath of the mods (not really, they're nice!) use the search function before posting about any problems - it probably will have been covered somewhere. The knowledge of some people is amazing and everyone is nice and helpful.

Don't think you can have a windscreen fight with a bird (the flying type) and reckon on winning. It cost me a new screen as the old one was covered in blood, feathers and a bloody huge crack.

My mum drives like a loon, one of my fave memories is from back in the day when she had a Rover 828i and raced a Corrado VR6 (this was when they first came out) off the lights. It was level pegging till she bottled it at about 60 as she had small kids in the car. I was in the passenger seat enjoying my first encounter with the beautiful C. After that she moved on to big, fast Bimmers but now drives a 2.0T Saab convertible. She likes the turbo as it gives it some poke. My dad drives like he's 80. He had a Mk5 GTI and never gave it the beans. What a waste!
