budget corrado

[M3VWG 0]

got this nice and cheap,its all i could afford,but i love it,it drives spot on.2.0 16v,new clutch and master cylinder already fitted when i bought.ive polished the hell out of it,3-4 times a week,had a nasty fuel leak near the pump so changed the main fuel pipe,this disturbed the accumulator and that leaked.one new accumulator later,new fuel filter and all fittings problem cured.it did stall sometimes untill it warmed up but a friend cleaned out the throttlebody and it cured that,reverse lights wernt working,easy fix this just plugged in the connector on the gearbox.old alpine cd headunit now fitted to match the black dashboard.since these pics ive fitted 17inch multispoke alloys £100 off gumtree and a motorsport badge set £7.99.ive got a pair off rear gas shocks and 4x40mm lowering springs £41 off the bay these are to fit,just need to save up a bit to pay someone to fit them,it will look 100% a bit lower.im going to tint the top of the rear lights black as well as the side repeaters and do the headlights yellow euro style.it will never be a show car but its just the joy of personalising it and the driving,i love how they drive,hope you guys like it,ill take a few updated pics with the new wheels on my next days off to see what you think.thanks for looking :wave:

Looks a nice example. How much you pay for it, if you dont mind me asking? Like the colour is it dark burgundy?

 

Look forward to seeing the pics of it lowered and on the new rims :D

ye well spotted dark burgundy pearl,it was on auto trader for £970 i had no cash so swapped him for an r reg passat tdi that i couldnt sell for love nor money,i stuck it on ebay for £800 and no-one wanted it and i was desperate for a corrado so took a risk and swapped him.the rado drove spot on but close up the paint works shoddy,bad previous paint job,but i dont know if im going daft or not but every time i polish it,it seem to get a bit better,it really does gleam now.bet autoglym are in prophet this year i used 1 litre of super resin already lol :lol:

Give the meguiars 3 step system a go. I love it. I carried out the 3 step system on my car and 2 weeks later it was filthy, all i did was wash it with a decent shampoo and dried it off. It still looked as if id jsut polished it :D I love it.

Bargin wheels mate :D They in good nick? They look in good nick from the pics. Any scuffs/kerbing?

 

Are they shorter shocks?

[M3VWG 0]

dont know much about the shocks really,they were advertised as being off a g60,their alko gas shocks,with good quality red 40mm lowering springs?the wheels have a bit of kerbing but not much,i had to buy the spigots though they were missing,cost me £5. :)
