He's a t1t...plain and simple. I've reported him as a bad seller in the past and a number of people agreed on CF. he is banned as he opened up multiple accounts and tried hiding his true identity. I see he is continuing to be a nobcheese. Just search the good & bad seller thread and you will see for yourself.

thanks.... yes I never thought I would have to sell it. Moving overseas just means I don't have any option but to sell up :( Going to reduce the asking price this week to £4300 (with all in car audio) and £3900 (without amp, sub and component speakers).. then I think i will list it on eBay classifieds. thanks -
I used to back in the days of Tim Harvey, Steve Soper etc... Look for the German touring car vids on YouTube- some amazing memories.

VR6 | Mystic Blue | Slough Price:£3100!!! Description: 1995 Corrado VR6 STORM, Mystic Blue, Manual final price reduction 21/May/12 : £3300 on Porsche Wheels £3100 on BBS Solitudes 07591 760922 History: I have owned the car since June 2007 when it was purchased with 130,000 miles on the clock. I have spent over £11,000 getting the car to where it is now (I have a comprehensive spreadsheet with every part I have bought and the price I paid). I am a member of the Corrado Club, Club GTI and have been an active member of the Corrado forums for over 5 years. A good account of what I have done can be found in my owners thread : http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?50020-Mystic-Blue-Storm-MYLene-updated-06FEB2012-%28Headlights-and-Loom%29 Please take a look through all of it for more details and photos (warning, the initial photos are quite rough and show the poor paint condition, however as you will see the car had a full "windows-out" respray in summer of 2010). I also have over 1000 more photos showing the history of the car and replacement parts etc... These can be provided on a CD/DVD to the next owner. A full arch lever file bursting with paperwork and all old mot and tax discs.

Since I have owned the vehicle it has only ever been to specialists like Stealth Racing or DG Autotech. Over the last couple of years I have performed the oil and filter services myself as that is the only thing the car has needed. Soon after I purchased the vehicle in 2007, I booked it in to get the chains and tensioners replaced as well as a replacement oil pump (all for peace of mind - not because they were a problem). To cut a very long story short, the "genuine" oil pump I purchased from a very well known company (NOT Stealth Racing!) went bang shortly after I started my drive back home after collecting the car from Stealth. Car was recovered back to Stealth and the damage essentially meant the bottom end was toasted. I had this replaced and the head rebuilt and basically everything (chains and tensioners) were re-done (yes that was one VERY big bill). Ultimately I chased the other company (who supplied the faulty oil pump) through the courts and won total compensation. I have all the paperwork and invoices which fully document this. I want to stress that Vince and Stealth Racing were nothing short of brilliant throughout the whole ordeal and Vince knows my car quite well due to the history. The car unfortunately suffered a hit and run whilst parked up (which was thankfully witnessed and later traced to a Royal Mail van driver!). Damage was caused to the driver side and prompted a repair and full respray of the car. Again, please see the owner thread for all photos and further details. The car was independently valued by a Corrado Club chair member at £5000 last year and subsequently is insured under a classic car policy with an agreed value of £5000. I see no reason why this value would have changed since the valuation was provided. The car only covered 2000 miles in the last year as I have mostly been using it as a weekend car and trying to keep miles down to a minimum. The only reason I am selling this is that I am moving abroad and it will cost me too much to take the car with me. I looked into taking the car with me but it just didn’t make financial sense. I thought about having it dry stored for the next few years but quite frankly it would be a shame to do that and I am not fond of having a car sitting for so long not being driven. Therefore the time has come to part company with this car and quite frankly it is going to be emotional seeing it go... Overview: 145,941 miles as of 13/Apr/12 (Stealth Racing refurbished head on 15,000 miles and renewed block is on 95,000 miles) MOT till 15 June 2012 TAX till 30 June 2012 Fully documented history with all old MOT's and service history paperwork. Schimmel 263 cams and DG autotech remap (it made a very healthy 198.9bhp / 186 ft lb on Stealth's rolling road at the Corrado forums rolling road meet in November 2011) Magnecor Competition HT Leads (red, 8.5mm) 4 previous owners (one change is between my family members as one of my previous insurers were so stupid they made me change the V5) Full leather interior - both front seats heated and fully working Car only ever run on Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate Serviced using genuine VW parts or quality aftermarket items - all receipts and invoices provided Serviced religiously every year or 4000 miles (whichever comes sooner) with Silkolene Pro R 15W/50 Engine Oil / Silkolene PRO S 10W-50 Ester Synthetic Oil and genuine VW oil filter £3000+ Full "windows-out" respray in summer of 2009 in original LC5L "Mystic Blue Pearl" (replacing all rubber trims / window rubbers / new windscreen) New Sachs clutch last year (143950 miles) Koni Coilover Suspension - Height and Damping adjustable (1150-5002-1) New top mounts last year (less than 1000 miles ago) Stainless Steel 6 branch manifold fully heat wrapped Full Milltek Exhaust (with Milltek cat bypass) New VW/Beru coilpack last year Total closure CAT1 alarm with new fob and battery (works flawlessly) Wheels: The car is being sold with the wheels it is currently sitting on which are Porsche 928 alloy wheels (7x16 and 8x16). These have been fully refurbished and finished in dark gunmetal grey with Continental SportContact 3 195/45 R16 rubber (less than 1000 miles on them). H&R 25mm TRAK+ adaptor kit (stud and nut kit) makes changing tyres a real doddle. I also have genuine Porsche locking nuts and the key which will all be supplied as part of the set. This package alone cost me over £800 If the Porsche wheels are not wanted then I can swap the wheels to a fully refurbished set of original BBS Solitude alloys with original VW/BBS "carbon fibre" centre caps (brand new never used). They are wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 195/50 R15 82V rubber - these wheels have never seen the road! If the new owner wants both sets of alloys then the BBS solitudes will be an additional £300 on top. In Car Entertainment: The car has £1500 worth of in car entertainment installed which has been painstakingly and discreetly installed. There are no holes cut, and all wires and cables were wrapped in foam to prevent chaffing and rattles behind the dash. Quality cables and accessories mean the car has a very high fidelity stereo installed with full hands-free Bluetooth (iPhone compatible). Music can be served either via Bluetooth (from your iPhone), Apple dock connector (for iPhone / iPod) or just a regular USB stick. Alpine Alpine iDA-X305S Headunit & Alpine KCE-400BT bluetooth unit Alpine MP3 changer discreetly hidden in car (not butchered into the glove box) Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 (6 1/2”) component speakers in custom doorpods (original, unaltered doorpods will be provided to new owner) Phoenix Gold Ti500.4 amplifier MAC Audio 10" Subwoofer in carpeted box Over £100 worth of cabling and accessories continued in next post...

Renshaw project (probably going to sell / swap)

Hey Jay, Just been catching up on the progress you have made on the car - cant believe how well the paint came up after the wet sanding and polishing! I remember seeing the swirls and scratches at the Stealth meet a while ago. Looking at the car now it is hard to believe it is the same one, well done mate! Those wheels look ace, good luck getting the suspension issues sorted out - the car looks and sits great on the RC's. Looking forward to see progress, good luck with the MOT. H -
IMO this is one of the top ten Corrados. Amazing dedication and attention to detail. Your photography skills are ace too! Keep up the great work H

as always - thanks to you all for the words of encouragement. Very happy with the retrim, really makes it a nicer place to be inside the car with the feel of alcantara instead of the cheap vinyl on plastic. Lights are great too - it is like driving in the day with full beam (not that i do that like some eejyats on the road!) Very happy with the perforated look on the alcantara, which i know may not be to everyone's taste but i think it looks and feels ace, it also makes the car feel a bit more modern on the inside. One thing I didnt document or photo was putting all the plastic interior back together (dash trims, glovebox, lower shelves etc...) That took an absolute age and i used the foam tubing i bought to make sure there were no loose wires to rattle about behind the plastic which would have driven me mad! Glad to say bar the tiniest little squeek when going over speed bumps - all sounds good from the front end! Rams - seeing your leather refurb really inspired me to give the retrim thing a go myself, so cheers chap! Abdul - seen the new motor, looking great... best colour too :) Vag-HAG - sunroofs are terrible things... i must have wasted a good month of my life on them. I need to get the panel resprayed at some stage (when the weather is a bit better though!) :) -

Both lights together Loom wires threaded through grommets in plastic casing to connect up to the headlight relays. Nice waterproof home for them (well not 100% watertight, but good enough!) A little tidying up needed on the headlight bracket on the front slam panel. Ground back, treated with KRUST , cleaned up and then primered and sprayed.
