Looks nice Karl, they're a great car, excellent car with unrivalled interior. Far better proposition for daily duties than a Corrado if you want hassle free ownership. Hit it with the lowering stick, late grill and up the power, sorted

Come on folks lots of views very few posts, its not at all serious and its only focusing on 2010. Not all time favourites etc simply what did it for you this year, nice to hear peoples thoughts.

My intial thoughts up to now

1 Butlers DIY Storm revamp, great progress :salute:

2 Very difficult as several were memorable but British Volkswagen Festival just pips it.

3 Kevhaywires superb turbo daily. High spec high speed daily built to be driven :salute:

Judiths Storm. Continued progress to creating a superbly presented stock concours car, surely now hot on Kip's heels

Kip VRs Storm R32. Proof that custom doesn't always mean gimmicks just quality.

4 DG Autotech. Genuine enthusiasts developing and supplying superb Corrado solutions

Lets hear yours

Very nice Mr Ice, how many bits have you got left over :thumbleft:

Thanks for the card guys, Merry Christmas and all the very best for continued success in 2011 :x-mas:

Lovely gift, looks and sounds a very nice car. If you don't know much about Corrados and weren't looking to buy one I could hardly blame you if you choose to sell it. Don't give it away as mentioned it should be worth a fair price dependant on condition.

have you fitted the passat mechanism too

Card is a nice touch from CCGB, thanks and Merry Christmas.

Looks good from here. Great to see some progress, with all the kit and plans should make a great car. Is that grey now?

Kevhaywire on here had one of these 16Vts he's the man to ask.

Car Power Weight Power per tonne

Golf R32 MK4 237 bhp 1552 kg 152.7

Golf R32 MKV 247 bhp 1594 kg 154.95

Corrado VR6 190 bhp 1240 kg 153.22

210 bhp 1240 kg 169.35

212 bhp 1240 kg 170.96

215 bhp 1240 kg 173.39

My crude calculations show power increases should prove worthwhile

That would be very interesting especially with a stock car in the mix, you can do it in a range of scenarios too, different speeds, gears rolling standing etc real world evaluation would be good. Do you have any idea of the power figures for yours Jim.

Looking super fresh 8)

Quite a few on ED38

Did you get the car back safe and well :norty:

Back in black 8)

You've really got stuck into this, enjoying watching it progress.

I would be really interested in hearing more about these and all the relevant performance details and data, pretty confident the DG guys will have researched it thoroughly and come up with another great product. A comparison with the stock and the benchmark performance upgrade SP263s would be very interesting.

Heres mine.

 

White, not sure if it's alpine or candy.

 

Check the codes in the boot

Alpine White 90E

Candy White B9A

There was a contributor from Texas USA, called yellowslc with unsurprisingly a yellow VR6 SLC perhaps that was Jasmine Yellow? but never seen a genuine UK yellow Corrado

Bramble / Blackberry

 

 

Pearl Green

 

Nice cars but sadly not VRs so for the purposes of this thread they're out :lol:

Can't find any mention of Diamond Black Metallic

Thats 25 different colours! Some are obviously pretty rare but with c 9,000 UK registered Corrados of all models throughout its production there surely can't have been any more than 50% of them VR6s? (anyone got any accurate figures?) Which means that with 25 different paint codes every colour must be available on only a limited number of cars, were all these colours available on UK cars?. Assuming (incorrectly) an equal distribution there would be only 180 cars in each colour. In reality however some are very rare such as Khaki Pearl Effect Paint, Jasmin Yellow (if any) and not forgetting the 6 Dusty Mauve Campaigns :lol:

Have we got an example of a VR6 in every colour here on the forum? Pics please and thoughts. Will update with smiley for example of each colour :salute:
