robrado974 1 Posted January 17, 2012 Love this colour. I just don't know why it wasn't popular back in the day. Me two looks very nice . Perhaps its a bit like the green they did for the mk2 gti ? i forget the colour ,nobody wanted it ,but now its very popular and of course pretty rare .

robrado974 1 Posted January 17, 2012 Oak Green. Don't like it. Thats the one , sure there was one i parked next to when we picked up your car from ppi matt ?. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elliott 10 Posted January 17, 2012 Oak green and atlas grey are the best mk2s but this khaki sure is lovely. Stick to oem suspension, vw spent a load of time and money trying to get it right you know? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted January 17, 2012 Oak green looks pretty good on a Corrado too! :thumbleft: Pau1's picture... Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stella 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Oak green does look good but it's all about the khaki for me :) Went to Manchester last weekend and gave it some right welly which was great fun, pity the tyre popped on the way back home, I had to correct the traffic police when they said nice scirroco, cheeky git!

Rams 0 Posted February 10, 2012 Oak green does look good but it's all about the khaki for me :) Went to Manchester last weekend and gave it some right welly which was great fun, pity the tyre popped on the way back home, I had to correct the traffic police when they said nice scirroco, cheeky git! The famous Scirroco line! You'll get that a lot! Lovely car btw. A good idea is to take a drive in people's Corrados and see what suspension you prefer. The comment above about hating your car if the suspension isn't right is very true but you can find a sensible height and comfort and have that tightness when you give it some welly. Keep us updated with progress. P.s the oil filter housing, there's 2 rubber seals which are prone to leaking. They're cheap as chips and wondered if that's what was leaking on yours? There's a pic in my first members thread I think of the rubber seals if that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stella 0 Posted February 11, 2012 what is the difference between coilovers then karl? Thanks Rams my car is lovely, the leeks have been sorted now but thanks. The exhaust needs looking at too, its so loud, i sound like a boy racer!! I have brought an exhaust mount but do i need two? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted February 11, 2012 you will see tomorrow, basically you can alter the height of the car, plus your new ones are rebound adjustable so you can make them firmer or softer you lucky so and so lol ---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ---------- The exhaust needs looking at too, its so loud, i sound like a boy racer!! if you havent spent all your money on hair shampoo lo,l we can sort that out easy enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 11, 2012 Which coilovers did you go for in the end? I've got konigsports silver lines on mine (3rd set) and I must say they're mighty comfortable! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted February 27, 2012 thats looking cleaner than it was in the morning, and isnt proper car shampoo better than washing up liquid lol give give the suspension a few days to settle and then we can play with the height and the softness of the coilovers. glad your happy with it all though karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Looks good! I can't help but think it needs a change of wheels though!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
