Here are some pics of what she looked like...... http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e327/ ... G_0270.jpg http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e327/ ... t=car3.jpg http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e327/ ... G_0247.jpg http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e327/ ... G_0246.jpg

I was gutted when i sold my mint 16V (K plate - facelift) 4 yrs ago as i had her resprayed, wheels polished, two tone leather, lots of pennies spent and i only got £2300 for her 4 yrs ago. Its a bummer when you think how many hours and pounds go into them but its a buyers market. Store it and/or enjoy it - its a minter. Very well done - beautiful. Get some leather in her and it willbe awesome. I had a two tone silver and black leather interior in mine - would suit yours to a tee. See the link..... Unfortunately can't find any good quality pics at the moment. http://www.corrado-database.nl/index.ph ... 9cb36b37fd

Hi all - long time since i've been on here since selling my Rado over 4 yrs ago now!! Just wondering if anyone on here knows of it/owns it. She was a beaut, i lovingly restored her, respray, 2 tone interior, polished Estorils, new lights etc.... Looking back on it i spent an unhealthy amount on it!! It was a 2.0L 16V - engine was still strong when i got rid of her. Link below - looks far better in real life. Sold it to a chap in Didsbury, Manchester, he already had a VR6 so he may be a regular here..... http://www.corrado-database.nl/index.ph ... 9cb36b37fd Dave

Fair play Jim, mine was on the last front cover (- nice arty shot by Jez) so my reign is now over...... Amen! :D

Decent show yesterday, shame it didn't attract more stands. Erik's G60 was quality, if your reading this Erik, those seatbelts rule!! Nice alloys as well mate, you don't see many of them around :lol:

My cat was rattling around big time so i had the innards removed and it sounds more grunty but i can't tell a difference in power. Plus only do this if like me you know the MOT man!! :lol:

£1000 Fully Comp on a 1993 2.0 16V. Quite a few mods, lowered, two tone leathers, polished Estorils, rear diffuser, Reiger grille etc.... I'm 23 with 1 yrs NC through Chris Knott. Got a £5000 Agreed Value though for peace of mind. BUT i rang up about a Strom i was close to buying but couldn't get the cash in time and they said it was only £200 more a year for a Storm! How do they work these things out!! Rob dogs the lot of 'em! :x

124K but now i've got a new job i'll be clocking up 50 miles a day easy! Lets just hope she stays as reliable as ever..... May God Bless the 2.0 16V engine and with oil changes every 5K i'm just keeping everything crossed :?

To my knowledge all C's had heated wing mirrors (mine don't work though!) as well as heated washer jets all which work off the rear demister. My heated wing mirror elements have corroded very badly as i've had the glass out to check! Very common problem, i went to see 4 C's before buying mine and not one had working heated wing mirrors! Only 1 had a fully functional sunroof!

I tried to get that cover but was told point blank that it was a no no for anyone under 25, some companies may do it but you WILL be paying big bucks! Insurance companies love to rip you off and this is a good excuse for them to do just that! :evil:

If you want a half smoked set i have one for sale. Check out the Parts for Sale section and its under Half Tint rear lights. Or look at the photo of my car on the left for an idea. I'm selling them for a lot less than In Pros and FK's and G Master should vouch for the quality of them as he's got a set off me already. One set left, going on E-Bay next week so its upto you..........

Cheers Henny Sounds like fun :shock: I'll try and give it a go this weekend.... watch this space.

The windows are a nightmare. Mine rattle like hell when down, and the drivers side goes down at a funny angle with a nasty clunk! If they are not closed i hate shutting the door as it sounds like my Peugeot of old (sounds like the window is gonna fall out the door) Not a solid VW clunk! :oops: Is there an easy solution to this, i think its a common problem!

I'm sure thats a Bora front end just with an elongated bonnet and some funky fog lights! In a word - WRONG! :?

Good review of the Corrado, thought they would have featured a Storm but the VR6 was in top condition, a credit to its owner. Again, would have been nice if they gave a quick run down of the other models but any Corrado is worth its salt in my opinion. :lol:

I'd be interested, bet its not gonna be cheap though :shock:

I think most C's were fitted with heated door mirrors and heated washers in the bonnet. My mirrors don't work as the circuit board behind the glass has an element which corrodes and burns out easily. Think its not too tough to remedy but quite expensive for the bit.

Chris Knott are fantastic mate. I actually got a quote for a VR6 Storm out of interest and its only £200 a year more than my 2.0 16V! Strange that! Shouldn't have done that cos i want one now!

Cheers guys. You will be shocked to know that the door cards and parcel shelf were .......... vinyl! The bits you sit on were leather but the seat backs were vinyl. You really can't tell even when i had the car open and people felt it. I made sure they used a good quality soft vinyl which matched 100% with the leather. They also did the mat edges, gear gaitor and handbrake gaitor all in for £700! Done at Tappers in B'ham just off the Pershore road.

I must agree. The show was a bit poor, not as good as last years which seemed to be more popular. My motor made its first show outing with new two tone leather which got a few admirers, its was the black 2.0 16V on the stand. Jez's Campaign is always a star of the stand, and Jim's white 16V was looking good too. Must admit that on the whole a pretty dismal show, no stunning Club GTi cars there either. Oh well, roll on the summer!

If anyones interested i've got a set of half tinted rears to sell. Had them done professionaly i.e plastic primed, sanded and tinted and then a couple of coats of lacquer for the shine. Look wicked and use the original lights so no leaks or dodgy fitment. Gonna put them on e-bay soon so drop me an e-mail if your inteested and make me an offer. mailto:[email protected]
