Blakey77 10 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Hi all, I've recently joined following the purchase of the 16v. I've always had VW's (air and water cooled) and Audi's, and due to a change in circumstances I found myself in a position to buy something older again, but unfortunately not with a big budget, which is fine as it was planned to be a long term rolling project. I was looking at having another Golf Mk2 GTI, but as my wife has one I thought I should have something else. I had a an '88 Scirocco GTX a few years ago and really miss it so was set on having another one, but having always loved but never owned a Corrado, they kept popping into my mind. So this one came up not far from me, and as much as Corrado's look great in dark metallics, the silver got me hooked. I normally don't buy modified cars, so against my better judgement I went for it. It certainly ticks all the boxes for a project - I think I must have felt sorry for it and wanted to rescue it. Anyway, enough waffle, the plan is to return it to pretty much standard. When I first got it home, next to my wife's GTI, the Corrado was far to low, so I've raised it a bit.

VEEDUBBED 0 Posted September 10, 2017 You can't beat a silver coloured Corrado, Perfect. Welcome along! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tjninny 10 Posted September 10, 2017 What are your plans for it? Looks pretty standard from the photos apart from the wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blakey77 10 Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks VEEDUBBED :) The main plans are to change the Borbets and go back to BBS RZ's or possibly Sebring's. The cheap coilovers need to go, as now I've raised it, it bottoms out easily and isn't a particularly comfortable ride. It has a badly made Powerflow exhaust which doesn't sound good either, so that will make way for a Jetex system. Otherwise it just needs TLC to improve its condition, replacing broken interior trim and improving the bodywork etc. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VEEDUBBED 0 Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Well if you need spares, let me know mate. Try adjusting the spring platforms on the coilovers first, can't beat the look of a lowered corrado.. High, they look awful. I can just imagine how good your Corrado would look with a set of ol school AZEV's..lovely!

Blakey77 10 Posted September 10, 2017 Cheers, funnily enough I was thinking about Azev A's earlier, a great wheel. I like the look but I wouldn't go for staggered with stretched tyres again though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tjninny 10 Posted September 10, 2017 Agree - I had a set of 17" Azev A's on a G60 - absolutely spot on for a Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
