Brett D 10 Posted June 9, 2015 Evening all been signed up a couple of weeks but forgot to say hello,I've just gone and got myself a classic green16v . It's in the process of getting some love ,got it quite cheap as mot had run out but all the bits needed pretty much come with the car ,went and had a look at it tonight and was having the 5 stud conversion along with 288mm brakes upfront ,but tbh I prefer a lot of the old 4 stud alloys ,so may change it back lol Will add pics as soon as I've got some as forgot to take any tonight lol Cheers.

SR_Neale 10 Posted June 22, 2015 Hello there and welcome to the world of corrados. I have had mine for 7 weeks ish and have found the worst part is having to keep explaining what a corrado is and having to tell people that no it's not a scirocco. You can guarantee that if I bought a scirocco people would ask if its a corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett D 10 Posted June 22, 2015 Cheers mate ,and funny you should say that a bloke st work keeps asking about my scirocco lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett D 10 Posted June 27, 2015 Not sure why pics aren't showing as copied the link from photobucket like I normally do sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSchollar 10 Posted June 28, 2015 Welcome mate, is this the car that was for sale on DubGen? I recognise your username on your photobucket account, so I think it is! I really pondered over this car, the only thing that stopped me was the fact I couldn't drive it home, but luckily managed to get another one. With the photos, you need to copy the IMG coded link not the URL, iirc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett D 10 Posted June 28, 2015 Alright mate ,yes it's the one off Dubgen ,not sure about photobucket as I've posted the pics on Dubgen the same way and they show up fine on there ? And tbh I wasn't sure about whether to buy it for that same reason ,sure it will be worth it when it's back on the road Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSchollar 10 Posted June 28, 2015 It will indeed mate, as far as I know it's a fairly solid example. Looking forward to seeing it progress! Where abouts are you based? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett D 10 Posted June 28, 2015 It's nearly done mate ,spencer off Dubgen took it for a spin today ,sàid it just needs a little tune up ,and I'm in thetford Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
