Underneath looks brilliant Chris. When did you get all that done and who did it? Was it very expensive? Powder coated?

[Chris Langdon 0]

No mate thats all original, nothing underneath has ever been power coated apart from the fuel tank straps.

 

cheers

cleaned the VR yesterday took a piccy as the sun was out :D cant wait to get it back on the BBS spli rims tho!!!

 

[Chris Langdon 0]

Well been a busy boy in the last week or so, took the VR up to DG Autotech for a few more G G'S under the bonnet, would like to say a BIG thanks to both Dave and Graham they are both legends, the service you get from them is first class, VERY professional, and they dont half make a good bacon butty lol. very pleased with the results, it much more driveable, more noticable power through the mid range and top end. so would really recommend remapping, if you have 263 cams :norty: :norty:

and yes graham does have a bigger one than dave now :lol: again big thanks to you both for looking after my car, if you want that one to one tailored experience for your car then this is the place to go. :notworthy: not to mention the both Dave and Graham are both massive corrado fans :salute:

 

I have done a few small mods, like the sunroof switch,(as i prefer the later ones) put the BBS steering wheel back on and put a new gearknob on to match the handbrake cover.

Big thanks to Fla aka Hasan on here brought some side mouldings of him top bloke so thanks, they be going on the car soon!!

cleaned up the interior and then fitted the OEM+ AIR FRESHER lol i reckon paul had to much totie lotion give to him at xmas and came up with idea for making up into air freshers lol :roll: :wave: sorry paul lol, seriously well chuffed when that came through the letterbox :)

next up put the splittiesback on and give her a good clean :norty: :norty:

 

 

 

and took the mk1 Golf to stonor Park yesterday, really good show

 

look out for it in VW driver magnext month for the GTI special, OK OK, here's a sneak peak of one of the photo's below

Chris were did you get your gear knob from ?

[Supercharged 2]

Chris were did you get your gear knob from ?

 

That's a standard late Corrado one isn't it?

[KIPVW 0]

Gear knobs are about £20 from the dealers :wink:

 

Keep going with the concours Chris, i'm sure it's only a matter of time! it took a while for me to get anywhere too and i still do a couple of shows and it never does anything which is surprising to others but there are some damn fine cars out there.

 

It'll be worth the wait when it comes my man :salute:

[CazzaVR 0]

It's a lovely car, Chris. Had a good look at it while I was at DG last week- made me want a VR with leather again...

as KIP said they about £20 from the dealer, should be still available, its leather but the writing is slightly different to the original.

Wheels like these would look wrecked in weeks in my ownership! Congrats on keeping them looking amazing mate.

 

I keep thinking about how I need to be taken for a drive to experience how good this car is! Then climb back into mine and feel sad, ahh.
