GrahamU 6 Posted November 26, 2005 Hello, I thought i'd introduce myself, my names Graham I have a small collection of V-Dubs and have just bought myself a Corrado 16v, it's in need of alot of TLC and the paint is terrable, a kinda cross between the original Nugget yellow and a very poor blue sprayed, possably with a can over the top of most of it... I've now sorted the tickover out which was very lumpy and missing on 1 cylinder and today have been changing the fuel pump. I only paid £600 for it and bought it for the interior (leccy recaro's) but I've driven it nearly everyday since, forgot how much fun they are, not as quick as my Bora but more of a drivers car.. I may now keep it as my next project, if I ever finish my Mk1 So heres a pic I used to own a G60 and would like to know if anyone know if its still about Reg J389 CUC, I sold it to a guy on Canvey Island in 2002, and last time I saw it, it was looking a bit sorry for itself. Heres a pic of my old G60 Hope you like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Hiya mate. Watched that raddo go on ebay and you paid less for that car than the seats are worth alone. I sold a set exactly the same for £850 recently, you got yourself a good buy. Vilcomen. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

veeDuB_Rado 0 Posted November 26, 2005 Welcome mate, once bitten lol. ( My mate who sold me the rado I got now, is looking for another cos he misses it! ) What's up with the front bumper on the 16v? Or is it the picture... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted November 26, 2005 Looks like it's just missing the splitter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 6 Posted November 26, 2005 thanks for the comments guys. Errr the front bumper, as I said it needs alot of TLC and its on the list to be put on straight as soon as I find a splitter for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted November 27, 2005 I'm stunned that someone would spray a Nugget Corrado blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted November 27, 2005 hi graham and welcome aboard , that was one tidy g60 you used to have , gpc are the cheapest for a new front splitter where are you ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 6 Posted November 27, 2005 hi graham and welcome aboard , that was one tidy g60 you used to have , gpc are the cheapest for a new front splitter where are you ? Cheers GIXXERUK, I'm in Beccles, Suffolk. I hadn't thought of GPC, and its only £30 + vat, p+p. Anyone know why its cheaper for the deep splitter or is there a mistake on the web site ?

bcstudent 0 Posted November 27, 2005 I have a feeling the GPC prices are back-to-front. The shallow splitter is £30 and the deep splitter is £60...I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted November 27, 2005 I have a feeling the GPC prices are back-to-front. The shallow splitter is £30 and the deep splitter is £60...I think. sometimes they arent the best with prices, if they say 40 i aways say 'but i thought it was 30?' and they say oh yeah thats right mate! :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks sooooooo much better now, only problem being that while I work on the C, I aint getting the Mk1 done :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted November 27, 2005 If you've lowered it, you'd be well advised to have the front camber re-adjusted too. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
