Thread resurrection!

 

I got a Facebook notification about these today - apparently Performance VW is going to do an article on them soon.

Not a fan at all. Appreciate the exclusivity of them, but it looks like a DIY cut and shut. Given that exclusivity also, why the owner has modified them - the mind boggles.

Prefer the standard shape, but there's nothing like owning a car that shouldn't exist.....like the 4 door Ford Escort "Mexico" I know of.

Disappointingly I did track down the guy and did have a good conversation with him over email. I wanted to write a feature about the cars for the Sprinter magazine, but he subsequently said that he'd agreed to do a feature with PVW magazine and they had insisted on 'exclusivity' so it never got to happen.

 

Annoying really :(

Whilst I appreciate there's been a lot of work gone into them, they really are not my cup of tea at all. They've completely lost the curve at the back of the car, and that, imho, is what makes the 'rado look so nice.

I love these cars. I've always been a fan of estates, so an estate Corrado is the ultimate!

One came up [from memory the one on borbets] for sale some years ago in Germany and the price was surprisingly low. [around 3k euros from memory.] I was very very tempted to head out and drive it home and very much regret the fact I didn't!

Although the concept is good and i like the old scimitarish 2 by 2 tourer layout i reckon more work could of been done to make the rear end a bit more corrado and a bit less audi. Those rear lights just dont work at all

I've somehow missed them in the past; weird aesthetic. I don't think I like it to be honest, but I can't quite decide at the moment.....
