Here here, second that. Yep sounds like a good deal. I like White, Honest colour for the Corrado. Had a Scirocco GT11 in Alpine white, savage to keep clean but I loved her to bits, the dirty little mare :lol:

Hello there mate! Good purchase ;)

[G22 0]

im hoping its a bargin,

 

been off the road a few times already (radiator hose, flat tyre)

 

but it looks like, as a C owner, a bit of walking is what to be expected lol

Hehe :)

 

Welcome aboard.. looks like a nice clean standard Corrado. Where abouts in the Midlands you based?

well being a new owner myself I know the costs at the start can be BIG! Its easy to want to make your car perfect again and make it your own. As already mentioned though - £900 - how could you go wrong! Just pay AA their fee and you're grand :)

im from near Burton/Deby, see a few C's around here. (anyone???)

 

its not a bad example, i had my mate ( a VW enthusiast) and an AA mechanic take a look over it and they gave there thumbs up so the deal was done.

 

needs a new front bumper (been told it would be cheaper to buy a new front bumper and spray it, than strip and repaint this one)

new fog lights (cracked to f@*k)

some new screws (interior has been out and they didnt bother screwing it back in :roll: )

etc..

 

but after that is gonna be some skirts and then maybe some speedlines (really love 'em for some reason)

 

then ill be laughing :lol:

If you're talking Corrado VR6 'standard issue' Speedlines then you are out of luck with regards to a direct swap. The VR6 has 5 bolt stud pattern but all the other Corrado's (8v, 16v's, G60) had 4 stud.. :(

P.S. do the 16v come with a bumber lip spoiler 'cause mine hasnt got one and i was wondering if they came as standard

 

thanks

[Jim 2]

Yep all Corrado's are meant to have them - try giving GPC a call (number on their site which is http://www.gpcvwaudi.com) to get a new one. To be totally standard you want the 90mm chin spoiler :)

i was knid of prepaired for it, my mate said it was prob going to take a bit of cash to get it running sweet again but in the end anything that i cant stop staring and smiling at :D must be worth it! but i figured i was prepaired to pay 1500 so ive got some funds to play around with. im putting away half to go towards a celerbratory drink lol.

 

P.S. thanks for the advise on the chin spoiler im going to give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say
