C5 OEM 0 Posted June 3, 2015 Picked this up on saturady, not sure the direction to go yet but its the colour and trim i wanted and looks a good enough base to start with. Has been stood for a few months and so needs some tlc to bring it back to a good condition.... sorn for this month while i spend time detailing and replacing any broken bits......few photos to start.. Spent a couple of hours to give it a good wash and clay clothed the whole car twice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted June 3, 2015 Nice purchase mate. Given the quality of the last one you had I'm very interested to see what you do with this one. Have to say, and I've probably said this loads, a Corrado in red is one of my very favourites! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted June 3, 2015 Did it come fitted with recaros mate? Nice added bonus if so. Was it a forum member car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oxfordpaul 0 Posted June 3, 2015 Love it, I've just bought a red one too, alas not with the gorgeous black leather recaros, where did you find that one? I think red really suits the C and it polishes up so well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted June 4, 2015 Well done.. car looks super and a great base for a project. Always loved them in red too :) Look forward to seeing this one evolve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KipVR 1 Posted June 8, 2015 Nice to see you back, that looks like a really nice starting point for a good car. How come you bought another?!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Chatfield 0 Posted June 8, 2015 Not normally a fan of red cars but it really suits a Corrado, looking good mate and I can't believe how well that engine bay has come up. Looking forward to following this one. Rog. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C5 OEM 0 Posted June 9, 2015 Nice to see you back, that looks like a really nice starting point for a good car. How come you bought another?!! Had a couple of mk2`s since the last one and this came up with the right trim and colour so thought it worth a punt.....it will either be a long term keeper or clean it use it and change again.....

ozowen 2 Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Nice to bump into you on Saturday at Weston Park, I'd agree with your comments the car does look very nice indeed, and the recaros well (stunning).

KipVR 1 Posted June 17, 2015 I think red suits the Corrado really well, and the original wheels. Good choice. I think all red rears look awesome too, might be the only mod I'd make though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
