MoonlightVR 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Unless those Recaros have been retro fitted this is a green Corrado with Storm badges added, so a fake! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Dunno - looks Stormy enough to me. Guess you could fit the Recaro's as an option to the Storm as well.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonlightVR 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Guess you could fit the Recaro's as an option to the Storm as well.... That's just it, you couldn't! A green Corrado with beige leather, retro fitted Solitudes, Storm badges is going to look exactly like a Storm. At least with a mystic Storm you knew it was def a Storm...

VR6 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Asim - so a dealer wouldn't let you pay through the nose for Recaro's on a Storm?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonlightVR 0 Posted October 24, 2004 tho the eBay one appears to have the IMO harder to source interior badge :wink: But they weren't all that difficult to source when this Corrado was new/year old.... My point is Recaros on a Storm isn't possible - so either they're a retro fit/very special order/it's a fake Storm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point is Recaros on a Storm isn't possible - so either they're a retro fit/very special order/it's a fake Storm. well the only way to find out for sure then is someone to phone VW :?: ......but being honest in essence it is a good replica storm............plate-age-wise,spec-wise,colour-wise,badge-wise and with the added luxury of those e/recaros :wink: and as its not on the V5 if it is a storm or not whoever buys it(as long as it don't go into Trebor-land prices) then only VW will know any different :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoonlightVR 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Asim - so a dealer wouldn't let you pay through the nose for Recaro's on a Storm?? Pretty sure they wouldn't - hence why the Storm was released with no optional extra list except auto box as an option. It all comes down to how the cars were being produced on the production line at Karmann for VW UK. No extras means the cars were rolled on as shells and off as cars with no "individual" spec cars. Nice and simple and quick, and above all CHEAP!! A perfect run out for the manufacturer!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted October 24, 2004 are the storms not numbered like most special editions ?? nope...........not even the V5 states it as being a storm :roll: :roll: :roll: :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GIXXERUK 0 Posted October 24, 2004 so you've only got his mums word that its a storm :shock: easy to fake then (although not cheap) do vw have a chassis # register for genuine storms? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted October 24, 2004 so you've only got his mums word that its a storm :shock: easy to fake then (although not cheap) do vw have a chassis # register for genuine storms? thankfully VW can tell you if its genuine or not going by the chassis number or original reg plate...........not such a worry if its the mystic blue one you have but.........classic green is just 2 badges,colour-coded grille and solitudes away from a good fake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveStorm 0 Posted October 24, 2004 Do you know if VW would send you anything written down to verify this, being as there is nothing on the V5? Be nice to have some sort of official document from them, something which should have been done when new really IMO, might have stopped a fair bit of the fakery :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
