^ i'm glad they lost that extra trim line that goes around the whole car.

 

here's some good ones.. bit of corrado rally, g-lader production and corrado wagon history as well! :shock:

 

(sorry about the size of some for those of you on slow connections or reasonably-sized monitors) :lol:

..wouldn't it be nice if VW actually put syncro in G60s and VRs like it says in that article? :?

 

i suppose low sales numbers killed that one. :cry:

Humm, fixed spoiler, boot lock in rear panel, quarter light front windows, MKI GTI-esque side stripes with no rubbing strips, no sunroof, a VERY square looking dash (MKII golf?), no wing mirrors, 3 slat front grille, and polished rim alloys... :?

 

Some nice touches, some not... 8)

 

I wonder if that's the one that they found out about the dodgy hi speed handling in which caused them to put the active spoiler on? :?

 

I've not seen those photos before... Thanks... 8)

 

And a Corrado ESTATE?!? :shock: :?

borbets on the top picture of the C wagon? I'm in two minds about it, kind of reminds me of what BMW did with the Z3 when they made the roadster, only not as effective.

does the spoiler actually do anything then? i thought it was just for looks?? its not much of a spoiler so i didnt think it would actually do anything

 

Shame they didnt do the 4-wheel drive system. that would have been awsome!

Arrrgh!! Not again!!!

 

Big thread on it - end result = spoiler does not create downforce, but rather prevents uplift by distorting the airflow. Or something along those lines :lol:

 

(if you're interested, search for spoiler and it's called something like 'spoiler doesn't work below freezing'.

lol - that's the problem - it started out as a 'does my spoiler.....' thread and ended up as a 'persuade Kev that the spoiler doesn't create downforce' thread :lol:

 

Still good reading though :)

Jees that thing aint pretty. It looks like a C from the wing mirrors forward but in a way I suppose it does look a bit 'mk 2 polo hearse'. It also reminds me of the old Reliant 'sports estate' Scimitar GTE!! :shock: Sorry, I'm showing my age now :oops:

They're VW wheels - Golf Rivage 15" Le Castelletes (spelt correctly? :? )

Someone on the forum has them on his corrado

Where can I get the bumper like the one on the ABT car?

Not an RS item so just that bit different! :shock:

At a guess Blown ABT will have supplied the front bumper on their car... They've since stopped doing older stuff and seem to only do stuff for cars that are still available brand new... :?

 

German Ebay's probably your only chance to get hold of one of these now... If they were ever released... :?
