Hey,
Thought I'd start a thread on my Corrado - a 1996 'N' 2.0 8V motor in Sherry Pearl. I got it a month ago in a straight swap deal for my (knackered) Audi A3 1.8 20V. I hated that car and had always wanted a C, looking at quite a few around the country until I found this one just 6 miles from my house :D
It's quite highly specced for an 8V, I guess it must be one of the last off the production line being an 8V and also first registered on 01/03/96. Amongst all the normal Corrado stuff its got a full black leather interior with heated front seats and also 15x7" Castellet wheels, mirror polished, which were I believe an optional extra and are listed on the build sticker in the service book and the in the boot.
Since buying it I've done a few things to it, mainly a good clean, fitting some headlamp protectors (from Chris aka shawshankkid) and making a list of the things that don't work/need attention. All I've got so far is that the heated switch doesn't illuminate and the heated rear screen switch doesn't light up when its switched on. Apart from that everything works! There's going to be some maintenance needed soon, I want to replace the front suspension bushes and maybe whip the subframe off for a coat of paint. I'm also going to sort the brakes out with new fluid and rebuild the calipers, but for the moment everything works so it's all good.
Here's a pic, I'll get some more when I can and update this thread as an when - hope you like :)
Tom
