I know what you mean, I can't believe you didn't get a copy on Thursday when it came out, I take it your paperboy comes on Saturday. I was lucky and got a copy through the post.

Thats exactly what I did for the photoshoot

Thanks for all the generous comments :D

OK the cat's out of the bag! Performance VW have featured my Corrado and the feature, editorial comment and pictures are superb. I'm really grateful to Elliott for his sympathetic write up and enthusiasm for what is probably the least modified car ever to grace their pages.

Postive references to the Corrado forum, and i'm only 41 for the record.

Its coming up, its coming up, its there (well nearly)

There was talk of 7.30am :cuckoo: :lol: but i'll confirm and let you know :afro:

That is just the very best dilemma to have, can't offer any advice but whatever you decide they're both stunning :mrgreen:

Yeh i'm going down VIP style in an Audi A8 luxury barge, weathers to rough at the moment for my precious

The clue is READ (and maybe look at pictures too! LOL)

Sailed through its MOT today without any problems, just got to love it!

I can't comment on that car, but really good examples are few and far between and you get what you pay for. I almost gave up looking before I found mine three and a half years ago and it can't have got any easier and you certainly wouldn't get a car as good as Bill Aitkens or Paul Kippaxs for as little as £7,000.

MK1 Cab 1988 onwards

This is an excellent project now its going full on, can't wait to watch it progress.

Great work Darren. I'm dying to get my hands on a TT and give it a once over like yourself.

Sadly it means the Corrado will have to go to fund the TT. I hate selling cars but its staying if I can't get a proper price.

What offsets are you running with adaptors fitted?

Some big news soon, read all about it!

Certainly £6K, well specc'd genuinely good examples are increasingly hard to find

Riley IIRC your 2 main problems with the Corrado came about because of electrical items that you fitted incorrectly causing the problems and making them hard to diagnose. Of course they are challenging they are getting older but keep things in perspective.

Most speed enforcement is carried out by authorised civillians now, the only question is whrther you were caught.

One touch open only

It is possible but not all 16s fit, options are limited

The cut lips works much better, sets of the car, the all black didn't do any favours.

Et 30 is probably the absolute limit on 8x17 without arch work and even that will need work if you go v. low. ET 35 on 8s is safer

Here's one a friend of mine owns with side exit exhaust and a set of mad rare wheels, but can you guess what they are?

no2, no1s are too hot rod

Sell it. You can always get another one. But get a MK4 V6, otherwise you will miss it. Sorry guys but the best thing I did was buy the MK4. Can't comment on the "normal" MK4's but the 4motion is awesome in many ways. Will give another perspective on it when the wheels/suspension etc.. are done.

 

The only thing I miss from the Rado is the uniqueness, otherwise the MK4 is better in every way.

I agree the 4Mo is a good car, my mate bought this car from the dealers in mid 2005 for £11,000 and sold it to another friend only months later for £9K he kept it a few months and let it go for £6.5K inc new tyres on Santa Monicas, the car had leather Recaros, climate everything and was low mileage too. Plenty of car for the money but not as unique or involving as a Corrado.
