    ive just checked with my m8 who sold them - they went for £1k last year so yeah i would agree that they are over priced

    out of interest, what kind of size spacers or bolt on adaptors would you use to get the size & offset to fit?

    ive got some 16" modena's in a 7j +41 & 8j +51 & need to figure out how to get them to fit

     

    Yeah got a very "basic" message off the seller, wants his price, no trades, take it or leave it! I sold my last set for about £1200 a couple of years ago.

    Haven't worked the spacers out yet, but have 2 other sets of wheels already! 😆

    Yes I know they are pretty rare, after a set or even possibly 2 sets.

    Ideally 1 set in Black Leather with runners but will consider anything, happy to restore, re finish etc. 

    Will also consider Recaro A8 seats.

    Based in Cheshire, but will travel for the right seats.

    I quite like the wheels. I have some old brochures here and they were an OE option and diamond cut.

    What are you plans for the car Mat?

    Not too sure yet, it needs a major service and full detail inside and out. I'll likely change the wheels and maybe suspension, but otherwise keep it pretty standard, drive it and enjoy it, then see if I'm keeping it longer term... Oh and a new stereo - thinking Blaupunkt SQR 46 as the current one is terrible! 😆But all in keep it nineties OEM style. 😎

    looks a great car 

    Never seen or was aware of those wheels 

     

    Were a dealer option apparently, but I was only aware on them recently.  Cost £180 per wheel.

    Welcome back

    That is my dream garage, a Corrado next to a mk1 Capri (preferably a 3000GXL) is it yours?

     

    No the Capri belongs to the seller.

    hello m8 - good to see you back on here

    purchase looks great, hope you are happy with it 🙂

    on a separate note, do you still operate Trimsport?  if so, is there any plan to bring back the UK carbon rear number plate tubs?

     

    Thanks, yes strange to be back! 😆

    Yeah really pleased with it, better than I expected, needs a full service soon, then should run really sweet!

    Yes still own Trimsport (10 years this year) No plans to do the carbon again, it was a nightmare last time and think we barely broke even. Best bet is James at SpoonFedTuning in the USA, I was out with him in California last year, so can help if needed.

    Good to see it went to an enthusiasts home. I have seen it in the classifieds for sometime and if I was buying a corrado it was the one I would have bought out of the current selection.

    I think first jobs is to put that Karmann sticker back in the right place 😄

     

     

     

    Thanks, yeah I've been talking to the family since it first went up for sale, they're expectations were a little unrealistic at first so took some time to sort! Really pleased with it, its better than I expected. ☺️

  9. So after a decade since selling my last Corrado a Satin Silver VR6, yesterday was a long day, the culmination of 11 weeks conversations with me heading to Chelmsford from Cheshire to pick up another VW 🦄
     
    Finally managed to do the deal on one of the very last VW Corrado VR6 in Flash Red with Black Heated Leather interior.
     
    Registered in 1996, incredibly it’s only covered 93k miles and is completely standard except for the optional dealer fit “Brands Hatch” 15” polished alloy wheels. (For Sale soon).
     
    Sadly the retired owner passed last year after 16 years of ownership and very little use - Incredibly it’s only done 1,692 miles since 2009 and just 226 miles in the last year, well until I drove it 228 miles home to Cheshire! It didn’t miss a beat! 😉🚗😎👌🏼
     
    Many thanks to Rob and his family for selling me the car. 🙏🏻
     
    Now to decide what to do with it… 🤔😉
