Recommended Posts

Well, since I put those Borbets on my C, soooo many people look at the car! It's getting kinda embarrasing.... :oops: :oops: :oops:

 

Going to tint my windows I think.... :lol:

In my Corrado, yes. I never noticed it untill I got my Seat which is standard. If its all getting too much you could give me your Borbets!!

oddly not as much as I did when I had the valver... although that was bright blinging red and had a pretty meaty exhaust note so it probably demanded a bit more attention than my current VR, silver is a more subtle to start with and with the standard exhaust its not shouting about its presence. TBH I like it that way, when people look now I know its becuase they apreciate the car and not because theres a bloody great red loud thing coming towards them.

The Corrado does carry a 'presence' with it, & does get looks from both real car enthusiasts & boy racers.

 

Not sure about tinting my windows but. I do find myself driving with the sun visor down all the time.

i get a lot of looks, dunno if they are of admiration or general distain at the state of the car and the really loud whining noise the C is making at the mo!!!

 

or maybe its cos theres a girlie driving........ 8)

It drives me insane! People don't stare at me... they glare :p Also for some reason most modified cars (corsa's, astra's, clio's) around guisborough flash their lights at me :?: I think theres another corrado in guisborough the same colour as mine, and with the reiger grille, so they think its that car... although I did get a rather hot lass in a saxo wave and smile at me... so its not all bad :wink:

Yup, drove my US-G60 Rado a bit more recently, and particularly kids and teenagers would say "Nice car!" when waiting at traffic lights etc. :lol:

 

That's when the windows go shut, the airco goes on, and I have privacy again :-)

 

Then again, when I see one when walking, I do a 180 degrees headturn as well :lol: and instantaneously miss my own Rado :lol:

The C's got a lot of looks while out in france for the Le mans trip... we came out of the supermarket on Friday to find a few people having a look around the cars... best bit was the fact that they were completely ignooring the big red Ferrari parked 2 cars along 8)

I still think the best look you can get is the one in the rear view mirror when your spolier goes up and whoever is in the car behind giving it :?: :shock: 8)

People look at the corrado, but I don't really notice 'cos it's nothing compared to the shouting, pointing and waving that goes on whenever my BGT is on the streets...

Only had mine 3 days, my girlfriend exclaimed yesterday "oh my god, everyone is looking at us!" I don't even have any mods

 

Went into the petrol station the other day and the dude asked me what pump number, I replied "No. 1", he looked out the window at my car then did a 'double take'... I smiled and thought - yep No.1 :wink:
