Jim 2 Posted May 6, 2004 As I say, there were better details on it, but the close up pictures weren't to hand unfortunately. But still.. VR6 badging on a 16v is funny enough :) Though looking at it.... 5 stud alloy wheels.....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby 0 Posted May 6, 2004 gonna stick my neck on the line and say its got some good points like, the drop on the suspension, nice and low(probably grinded down springs :roll: ), grey leather (gotta be mad if u aint appreciating that) and not sure on that vw logo etched in the lights. :?

Tempest 0 Posted May 6, 2004 The VR6 sunvisor does it for me, MOT here I come :lol: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anubis 0 Posted May 6, 2004 He's obviously forgot to have his name added to the blank space on the sun visor, so we all know who's "VR6" it really is! :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted May 6, 2004 Oh man that's a relief... I saw the posts on the eGroup list about 'the best Corrado in the world' which linked to those pictures. I was getting very worried, I thought it was turning into the vwvortex forum :lol:. Now I realise it's the Tippex car it's much funnier :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojmobile 0 Posted May 6, 2004 It definitely is not a VR6? I mean it does have 5stud wheels and the VR6 steering wheel, the bulging bonnet and grey leather. :? I aint questioning the hideousness! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anubis 0 Posted May 6, 2004 Christ, I'll get involved in some of that for £89 !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 6, 2004 Yep I do roll on Tippex too. If you want it wholesale by the litre, it'll cost you £936 I'm afraid! It's lighter than normal paint tho, so you'll get an extra 343hp. And you can do your own styling too, it accepts all leading brands of ink, biro, felt, etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted May 6, 2004 Well count me in for some of that. It's a bargain at twice the price! I can just slap some super duper Tippex go faster stripes on and not bother with those engine mods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted May 6, 2004 I have some inside information chaps... I have just been speaking to a 'bloke' who works in Staples, the place that hand built the car for him and the body panels were actually made of Blu-Tac, again to save on weight, I suggest we try and get a group buy going and replace our whole cars with this Blu-Tac and Tippex to increase the power to weight ratio's instead of these stupid engine upgrades were all doing.. My source also said there were new materials that have been developed since that may also be of use, he says that 'Sticky-Fixers' are the next generation of light, highly tensile material for the building of sh!te looking cars.
