selbekk's lil' corrado thread

thats grounds for never letting them use the car again!

 

they pay for insurance, fuel and repairs, and the car itself, tho, so I can't really NOT let them use it :-P I'm just keeping it looking good.

hehe :D

 

well, just so you know I haven't totally forgotten about my car, I'll give you a lil' update on what has been happening the last few hours ;) :

 

Today I changed the oil and oil filter for valvoline high mileage 10w40 and the original oil filter item. My car doesn't tick anymore because of it, so that was worth while. I fitted a new 50mm spoiler, removed the crap alu mesh in the front bumper and fitted the original mesh.

 

quick result :D

I went to the national VW/Audi Club meet this last weekend, and I had the best of times :D A few friends of mine and me got up at 7.00 in the morning and drove the 150 kilometres up to Våler Racetrack, where the show was held.

 

Here's a few pics. You can see the new mesh and new 50mm spoiler on a few of these :)

imo metallic black is as good as it gets. awesome colour (biased i know but in these pics it just looks fantastic). very nice car - definately looking forward to getting mine repainted. have you tried all red lights on it? wasnt keen on the clear/red lights but after seeing yours i might be tempted to put them on mine....

just gonna close my thread with some nice little pictures of my corrado, before I sell it. I firmly believe this is one of the most beautiful cars ever made in history, and it really breaks my heart to sell it.

Shame you're selling - Met Black too! Its a lovely car...

 

Good luck with whatever you replace it with :)

[selbekk 0]

thank you _leon_, I think I might replace it with a rado vr´d golf 3 a friend of mine just finished building, with a new paint job and some nice rims on it. But it aint no match for the beauty of this car.

 

The reason I´m selling it is really cuz I cannot afford two cars, so this is my daily driver. And a corrado is, in my opinion, too worthy for such a title. It´s like a porsche, for special occasions only, so you can give it the care it deserves. Like it got today. Four hours a week should be a minimum :D

 

and _leon_, it´s not really black, but dark gray :)

[_leon_ 0]

yep its metallic black - the same as mine ;)

[selbekk 0]

you sure? I´ve been told it´s quartz metallic, and its defo not black, at least not as black as some corrados ive seen

[_leon_ 0]

mines more dark dark grey - and sometimes it even looks purple from the speckles. la9v i think is the paint code.

Sorry to hear your selling the corrado mate!!

 

Gd luck with the new venture
