This is my car by the way, which i'll probably be running alongside the Raddo 8) (sorry for bad picture!) 2003 Polo FSi Sport Mods: * Cubby box mod * Bora Sunglasses holder * Chrome grille * Lowered 50 mil on Eibach springs * Shortened standard ariel * Votex/Vw rear window sunblind * VW First aid Kit * VW Loadliner * VW warning triangle * VW rear window sunblind * Votex rear spoiler (not in pics) * K&N panel filter * VAG Blue sidelight bulbs * SKN tuning chip * Votex Rear Spoiler (not in pics) * Fully colour coded (Not in pics) * Retrofit cruise control Wheels were an optional extra and they are called San Marinos, £430 each if I kerb one! :shock:

Thats very good! I paid more than that 3rd party for my Polo GT! :| Keyhaywire, I'm 99% sure I see your car on the way to work, do you travel down Wherstead Road very often? I'm pretty sure I've even gone past you a couple of times on the one way system near KFC, though I was in a company A6 at the time so you wouldn't have even noticed a fellow VW nut :-P

Seeing Scruffdubbers MK3 Coupe makes me want to buy another one! Currently on my third Polo (2 9n's and one 2F), cracking cars but you can't beat the style of a Corrado, not for the money anyway 8)

Best site for Polo owners is http://www.uk-polos.net I used to own a MK3 GT up until about 4 months ago. Things to check for: * Rusted petrol tank neck: Cheap to buy from G&S but a real pain to replace! * Rust underneath the battery tray: From battery acid mainly, if really bad can be an MOT fail. * Usual, wheel bearings etc etc * Can't remember much more! :-P

well that should get you into decent examples of all models bar the G60 and VR6 :wink: Excellent! :D Just gotta wait until I complete pass plus and get some insurance money sorted! Proper Bo! 8)

Wow! Talk about a quick reply :D Looking at paying £2500-£3000 sorry :oops:

Hello people, new to the forums but not the VW scene 8) Basically, I'll be 19 very soon and I'm desperate to get a Corrado as my next car. It doesn't matter what engine it is as either way it'll be faster than what I have at the minute :-P So basically, three questions 1) What engine/MK is cheapest on insurance? (and can you recommened any friendly ones) 2) Which has the best MPG figure (not the best thing to be looking for in a Corrado I know, but every little helps! :wink: ) 3) What problems should I be looking out for and should I be able to get a near mint example for what I'm paying? Basically, my plan is to get a extremely clean one, garaging it and taking it out just for the weekends :D Thanks all for your help :) Cheers Neil
