...and I reckon the wheel/tyre combination and the amount of lowering is absolutely spot on 8)

 

Anyone recognise the wheels and their probable size? ? ?

 

Not sure about the coulour :shock: or the UPS graphics :?: :shock: but the lowering and wheels are 8) 8) 8)

There 996 wheels either GT2 or GT3. 8.5x18 at the front 10x18 at the back. The arches have been extended in metal 2.5cm each side to fit the rims. Prefered his old Turbo 2 split rims myself.

Better start saving my pennies now then :-) 1. for the wheels (bet they're cheap! NOT) and 2. for the metalwork :shock:

I remember hearing rumours about the cars owner - something like he's in prison, or got done for fraud.. I'll have to find the story :?

 

Lovely car tho :D

That size wheel and that amount of lowering is perfecto. 8) 8)

 

Not sure about the colour but the UPS thing lightens the whole deal! :lol:

One of the directors at my company just fitted these wheels to his Carrera 4. The bill came to just under £4K without tyres.... :shock:

Does this mean that to fit 18s at all you need to get the arches adjusted? Has anyone successfully fitted 18s without arch work?

that car used to be blue i think. it used to run other 993?? split rims. its got a VR turrbo under it. it belongs to a german geezer who works for VW.

Wonder if he smuggled them out in his briefcase bit by bit LOL :D :D

 

Wonder what's happened to the car? Bet it's got even more gangsta cred now the owner's inside HA! 8) 8) 8)

It's Andre Kain's car. I was lucky enough to see it in Castrop this summer (where that pic was taken).

 

 

It's absoultely awesome, without a doubt the best corrado in Europe, even though it's brown

 

I must confess to doing a Wayne's World style "we're not worthy" appreciation.....at the time I was...very....very.....drunk :lol:

[joebloggsVR69 0]

He must've told the judge he was funding his expensive corrado habit :lol:

I am pretty sure Momo do a similar wheel a LOT cheaper :D

Brown is the way forward, I would love a respray in Porsche Rosewood Metallic

Is that the Colour on this Corrado?

 

Must admit, the colour's growing on me - I take it it's cream leather inside then too.... just think I can make out a bit of the headrest in the picture... 8)

 

 

nice.

Heres a picture that I found on the net. Looks like its the same car. Very nice colour the UPS theme is very cool. Themes like that are well popular at the mo!!

correct cai this is andre's car wearing its old rims ...

[jmig118 0]

where can one buy that back plate cover at ??? never seen it it smooth looking ???

Hmm... too big for the car - the bodywork falls away too quickly from the wheels. Maybe if you extended the bodywork from the waistline downwards like a Rallye?

 

Given the above, brown is probably a sensible colour - doesn't show all the dirt that'll be thrown up the sides of the car...

[TexasCorradoVR6 0]

I like it! The colours different but very swank, and with the cream interior, its spot on. The door handles look clean as well, they look mkIV, i can't tell. UPS all the way man! 8)
