VR6 South 0 Posted February 15, 2008 I've been on here for too long without posting any pics so here we go....... It all started with a valver about 15 years ago. My old Storm Grey VR My current VR which has been with me for about 8 years. It was treated to a new coat of paint lasy year. Preps: 288's fitted thanks to Goldie and Toad who scared the neighbours (not really)! A CCGB meet from a few years ago. How many left? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The colour was Storm Grey I think it was a 93/94 only colour. I am looking for pics of the finished article at the moment. They did a lot of prep work for £1k job.

Goldie 2 Posted February 15, 2008 Marting, the Storm Grey one looks gorgeous, i cant believe you let it go tbh... Blue ones look good and is the one i hold responsible for finaly after 10 years of wanting a Corrado made me take the plunge... As for that Jetta, well, cracking daily...

VR6 South 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Marting, the Storm Grey one looks gorgeous, i cant believe you let it go tbh... I had to do it as I was becoming obsessive. You know the feeling :) The Jetta hasn't missed a beat and is averaging 42mpg on the way to work! We may be parting company in the spring as I have someone potentially interested. Looks like you've been busy too 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 South 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Yeh, defo get more pics up! Looks fantastic. Why did you let it go? It hadn't seen rain for four years and I was becoming obsessive so it was sold to someone locally was briefly on the forum. Some of the money went into my other Corrado. Running two Corrado VR's was a bit excessive. I'll get some more pics up later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toad 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Hello mate. Been a while! How're things? Had a similar experience with VR6 brakes last weekend! Had a young lady come round looking tfor a place to live the other day, got chatting and she runs a Jetta GTi, her mate did a load of work to get it through the MOT, and "had" to lower it on a ridiculous setup, I've not seen it in the light yet, but I think she'll have issues with the driveway. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 South 0 Posted February 16, 2008 A quick shot of the engine bay and front end post respray... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted February 16, 2008 Quality engine bay mate and thanks again for reminding me how bad my front end is, im currently sporting 2 tone Mostly Green Pearl Effect with a a contrasting Stonechip Metallic Pearl effect front end, i thought a quite rare dealer option as its not listed in the colours options for any year but apparently not so, many front ends have it.

The front is only like that as it's been off the road since E38. I expect the summer months will take thier toll. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted June 17, 2008 After being off the road since E38 the Corrado flew through it's MOT today now sporting Mk 4 rear calipers. Not even an advisory :D :D Insurance was only £206 (fully comp protectected) with the AA this year. Got to get my tax sorted out tomorrow and away I go :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
