Red=Fast 0 Posted July 28, 2004 looks pretty nice. good to see another person from the US on here. =] i think the black and white looks pretty sweet. i also like the guage cluster beizels. some things i would remove/change: the bra the rear wing change the muffler to a less ricey one did you just tint the blinkers up front? are they still functional? or did you remove them? i cannot tell from the pictures if you just blacked out the US plates? or do you actually have a flat black piece on the rear hatch? other than the things i mentioned, i really like it. =] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neocorrado 0 Posted July 28, 2004 BlackOut16v, It is good to see someone else in the US its to bad you're in Cali and i'm in NY, thanks for checking out my baby. the bra i have on there because NY roads are are to wrost and i got a lot of paint chips on my hood on the last corrado i had, the wing :) well i dint know how i was gonna like it but you can say that its grew on me and the muffler i will change cause i dont really like the way that this one sounds and i also have a nice bosal one sitting at home all i'm missing are the headers but as soon as i get that i'm changing it. Ya i tinted the blinkers and yes their still functional as for the plates i just took it out to snap the pic Thanks again for checking her out :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yalan 0 Posted July 28, 2004 hey - I like it alot..... too many people have issues with white cars - but like my old MKII golfs, yours looks great in white! The rear spoiler also works for me - quite cosworth like - but yet still in keeping with what else you've done there. Again - never understood the bra thing - it's gonna get chipped anyway & if you can't enjoy looking at it's clean lines 90% of the time, what use is an immaculate paintwork? (unless I really don't get how bad the roads are over there!) cheers! Al. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neocorrado 0 Posted July 28, 2004 yalan, OHHH trust me the roads in NY are bad but as soon as i get some eye lids for my baby i'm taking it off :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted July 28, 2004 change the muffler to a less ricey one Less ricey one, LOL. I like the slightly larger but stil oval style best, or a letter box that fits the bumper aperture snuggly. I quite like the visual lowering the side skirts give and the wheels are cool too. Not sure about the rear wing though, I think the standard electric one does all the talking on it's own :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neocorrado 0 Posted July 28, 2004 kevhaywire, Thanks for checking her out :) i didnt think id like the wing after i had it on i don't know what happened but now its just on me like glue :) but i do like to change my look from time to time so you never know....

bcstudent 0 Posted July 29, 2004 That is one sweet looking Corrado....definitely getting some Escort Cosworth vibes from the first pic though! Good work my man. vr6storm are you talking about the 18 gallon guage equalling approximately 81.72 litres, or am I missing the point? :? If this is the case it should be noted that 18 US gallons is about 68.13 litres I believe. Jeez I need to get out more too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STORM 2 0 Posted July 29, 2004 I presume those arent NY plates :wink: :wink: Seriously I like the white but am probably abit too conservative when it comes to the high XR4 type spoiler. And I would have kept the bonnet, sorry HOOD, all white. But you should be pleased - it is a lovely looking Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neocorrado 0 Posted July 30, 2004 STORM 2, i wish those were NY plates :) i feel you with the all white thing and i'm gonna take some more pics without the bra to see how it looks. vr6storm, so you have bigger gallons but we have the same tank got it. i would love to see the EURO speedo so if you have a pic please post it so i can see :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chubbybrown 0 Posted July 30, 2004 Im just jealous you live in America :mrgreen: shitty gas milage just isnt a worry over there as its about 60p a gallon I had a 3.2 litre car over there for a fortnight and was cheaper to run for a fortnight than driving a fiesta diesel to Glasgow and back to Inverness,no wonder they moan about out fuel prices.... and yes it was treated like a press car !!
