Vicky Ellis 10 Posted April 6, 2012 Well hello everybody!! Ive recently bought my first dub after owning a few fast cars already but wanted something a little bit different and something i could play about with, my boyfriend has been a dubber for years so this enabled me to get a car that i idolise!! Sooo this is the story of my Corrado VR6 Storm so far... There was lots of Storms about when i started my search but most of them were Dragon Green with cream leather interior however, i was after a Mystic Blue one with black leather and this is what i bought.. It came with; lots & lots of history from day 1! factory fitted leather, heated, electric Recaros Jetex stainless steel exhaust K & N panel filter Magnecor HT leads Weitec coilovers Crystal red and tinted rear lights de-badged colour coded grille polybushed wishbones powder coated (grey) standard BBS solitude wheels HID's (poorly fitted) Since then ive fitted a BMC carbon canister Been to Redditch to pick up my Schmidt TH-Lines 17x8s & 9s on the rear with 205/40 Falken ZIEX ZE 912 all round Shes also had; my personal plate put on (M155 VLE) HID's re wired new gearbox mount bottom ball joints fitted a decat pipe wound down coilovers another 40mm all round (wait til i get those arches rolled!!) new chrome side repeaters fitted my Alpine XDI stereo Soundstream AMP (800watts RMS) MTX 10inch Sub treated the leather interior and of course lots & lots of polishing.. Also in that pic is my boyfriends current project MK2 VR6.. Next on my list; clean engine bay polish and detailing arches rolled (boyfriend will come in handy lol) lower it to get the stance that i want (L O W) full respray (same colour) engine bay smoothed polish engine parts get interior re trimmed, might stick with factory (make it look new) or have it restitched a different colour, not quite decided yet!! Hope you guys like and let me know what you think :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome, what you putting in it? not like all the time, only when the roads bumpy and going fast but then again its not overly low atm to prevent it.. had to grind down the front brake caliper carriers to fit the 8s on lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted April 6, 2012 Wow, talk about not messing about. straight in there with new wheels. And Recaros on a Storm is always nice to see. You going to ditch the mud flaps then ? (He says in the hope of being offered them to buy!!!) Either way, welcome to the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(He says in the hope of being offered them to buy!!!) Either way, welcome to the forum. well i bought the wheels and car in the same week haha :D the front mud flaps have been taken off as we had to take the inner arch liners out so we could lower the front a bit more, so i think when i i get my arches rolled the backs will come off too but not sure yet...

James. 9 Posted April 7, 2012 we had to take the inner arch liners out so we could lower the front a bit more... Shine a light, how low do you want to go. Remember running 9 x 16 on the front of my first Corrado. Safe to say that it went through top mounts like a hungry beast. Drop me a message if you want to offload the mudflaps. All the best, James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
