*NEW VIDEO* VAG UK Corrado G60 Promotional Video

[Yandards 0]

Bought the tape off ebay, arrived yesterday and digital copy now available for all to chuckle at the 80s soft rock and bad clothes.

 

 

Bonus points for spotting whats different about the cars shown (aside from the number plates being German)

 

Enjoy!

Wheels, no sunroof, steering wheel on wrong side ( :lol: ), no parcel shelf?

One of them has sunroof the other doesn't but this is no different from early factory 'production' models. Wheels were stock fitment to G60s in Germany for a short period too.

 

No parcel shelf :roll:

is it the fact they drove for a few miles without anything falling off, snapping, melting or exploding? :lol:

Nice one Yan, that's an awesome vid! - and it's an awesome car!! :lol: :lol:

 

Right, i'm off for a drive...

[daves16v 1]

No Karmann badge on the gear surround.

[vwdeviant 0]

No exploding G-lader with a "rebuilt with pride by Jabba Sport" sticker on it? :lol:

 

VDO gauges/ Karman logo... oh yeah!

Did anyone else think "Bloody hell, there's another corrado on the road" as the silver one passed the red one??

Spoiler only comes up at 120kph (75mph)?

[bristolbaron 10]

interesting video. 50mm spitter on early model?.. although knowing you it'll be something to do with the gauges??

2 things that have still not been mentioned.

 

Spoiler deployment speed is correct, its just a German spec one not a UK item. You can still buy the German spolier controllers if you want to get it up (Blimey! ;)) at higher speeds.

 

VDO gauges are fine, again standard depending on the mood of VW on the day.

 

Karmann badge recess missing, along with the badge, on the gearshift surround is one. This means these cars were pre-production.

 

Another 2 things I am after and you will kick yourself for one of them.

 

Gotta lurve the 80s porno soundtrack and the really dodgy white dress thingy.

[Supercharged 2]

185 Tyres way too skinny - reminds me of the Blumotion Golf I followed back from work...

Cheers!

 

Any chance of a copy on disc?

[bristolbaron 10]

okay.

 

the warning triangle isnt in its cover.. but im guessing one of the ones you are after is the missing side repeaters. :D

I need a German spec spoiler controller then as it does my head in coming up a 45mph

A late spec Corrado has the spoiler come up at 55, or there's a helpful thread on here that tells you how to add a resistor to change the speed yourself. :) It's called spoiler activation tuning guide or something.

Yea i know but 55 is way too low and 75 prob is too, i really hate it coming up all the time, im thinking about 90ish, seen the thread and im not good enough to start messing around with the module, but if somebody is willing to modify 1 for me :lol:

The G60's 0-60 isn't correct btw :roll:
