A1 VR6 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Very nice Corrado, love the shinny cam cover, were did you get it from ? There used to be a guy on here from Finland, can't remember his name now but he had 10 I think made in Germany. It was plain when I got it but I had some transfers made up to match the logos on the original cover then used the outlines to mask it then sandblasted them on.

OSV 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Great to see a thread on the members gallery. Stunning car! you simply can't beat the RS 301 and Recaro formula to turn a great car into one of the very best. This car is among the handful of Corrados I truly love. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A1 VR6 0 Posted January 24, 2011 any more details on the car, how long you`ve owned it, changes you`ve made ect Hi, Andy isn't it? Ive been following progress on your car and it's looking great :clap: Owned it for 11 years now, bought it with 30k and its now done 60k mostly due to it being a second car, full VW s/history except one and it's passed every MOT without needing any work. A list of things I've done RS301's with slim caps(Gareth(OSV's) old ones from when he sold his car to Ben) H&R coilovers and Bonrath top mounts lowered 60mm rear and 45mm front Refurb'd and black painted calipers with 280 Black Diamond grooved discs and Pagid fast road pads all round (but have got some refurb'd 288's to put on) Goodridge hoses Heated and electric Recaro fronts bought about 8 years ago and retrimmed by MJ Interiors Polished inlet manifold (took me about a week to do with a flat sander and loads of wet and dry) Custom s/steel engine cover, bonnet strut and alloy strut caps Magnecor blue leads Still on original exhaust but have got a full Magnex system for when it eventually goes K&N 57i filter AMD remap (made 209 bhp on rolling road) Ice Install with Alpine amps and MB Quart speakers VW guage pod Dave's 16v's s/steel gear lever surround Chrome internal door handles Momo gear knob and steering wheel Passat door sill strips Touareg torch replacing cigarette lighter Red pin striped rear lights Clear side repeaters Honda S2000 american spec stubby ariel Black rear corrado and VW badges, VR6 badge removed I've literally had to do no replacement of faulty parts due to all the common problems other than a leaking rear brake bias valve, 3 new batteries and a leaking rocker cover gasket and I have a number of new parts ready and waiting for when that day comes :D I plan to get all the underneath parts powder coated at some point, having sourced things like a rear axle beam etc and I have kept all the original parts to make the car completely standard as I've never done any irreversible mods.I have also replaced the roof strips, sunroof seal, mirror gaskets, windscreen rubber seal and door striker pins to freshen things up. The car has been sorn'd between Oct and April for a number of years now and it's always garaged. Here's a pic of the boot install I did, the amps are mounted on the inside of the box to the left of the sub. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe the Audi one fits too and they aren't logo'd. I would like to keep the calipers so that I can put the car back to standard if I ever sell it :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
