That is SICK, as Poundie has said worth selling for your polo!

honestly i liked the polo alot more. :(

Easi Mate

The car looks spot on :thumbsup: Keep up the good work

Interior what can you say just goes perfect with the colour of the car, all now colour code the wheels same colour as the car or the interior. :-D

Ash.

Hehe anybody want to try a P-shop of changing the wheel centers? polished, red and CC'd?

Toby, yeh could prob get it alot lower but will need to change the front splitter as it scuffs on everything as it is! Cant be arsed at the moment, will look into it later, once i get the other mods out the way :)

Ach philly. The polo was a labour of love.....it was time to move onto something else and something a little different! You dont see many Corrado VR's driving arond, thats for sure! :)

Thanks again everyone for the postitive comments

That is awesome!! very nice fella!

love the colour!

didnt realise the trim init was red! really suits it!

deffo needs some all red rear lights

glad you finally sorted the obd1 obd2 nightmare lol

dont see enough of these round my way anymore good man rado's are cool and ones that can do 156mph are even cooler long live the vr!!

shit the bed! thats awesome!

:shock::shock: THAT IS PHAT! 8-)

Top marks to u dude!

fooking sexy!!! :drool:

Corrado perfection tbh

Those wheels look like sex on that

there so perfect

What tyres you running on them ?

stretch etc ?

sweet motor :-)

Cheers again folks :D

The tyres are 205/40/17 o 8" front and 9" at the rear....fancy a wee bit more width though :D

Really like that Phil

its an absolute nightmare on petrol mate! Its addictive gunning it everywhere for the noise. So you think to your self, just before you pull off......"petrol, or VR6 note??? petrol, or VR6 note" Then you just think, fuck it "NOTE, NOTE, NOTE" :lol:

Couldn't have said this any better, you literally think 'wallet' or 'WAAAAARRRRRPPPPPP'? I think we both answer that question in the same way.

Did you buy it part modded or have you been keeping your progress under wraps?

What kinda miles you averaging of a tank of fuel?

Edited by StueyB

No i bought it the way it is dude.....i am sick of constantly chucking money at the polo now and just fancied a change. So i decided get something thats already done :p But the modding has already started :roll:

The plan was to have this and then next year at some point buy a mk1 golf and prob g40 it.

But spending too much on this already lol, and now the plan will be for turbo :p

Em to a £60 tank of V-power, that was from really low to full.....i got about 250 miles, but that was including 15 runs up the 1/4 mile at crail....so not too bad! Prob get about 300 miles to a tank, with some semi spirited driving and alot of feather footing :lol:

Anyways, update away to come :D

Update time!! :D Already! :shock:

Right first on the agenda is a nice install!

Now i have never gone down this route before, so i was relying on a lot of advice etc but i am really chuffed with the purchases i have so far made!

First off i got myself a headunit, a Pioneer DEH-P9800BT...which is very highly rated

Next got myself a set of Rainbow C-265 2 way componants

Picture016.jpg

Got myself onto thinking of what would power the comps...a Focal 2.75 2 channel amp

Picture018.jpg

Then thought about the sub! An RE SE15" Sub Bit of a weapon :D

Picture015.jpg

And to power the sub, a Diamond audio D7401 monoblock class D amp! Love this thing!

Picture021.jpg

So all i need is the 0AWG wiring kit and the sound deadening and i'm getting help from a mate with the actual build since he used to deal with installs back in the day :D

Sorry if this is a little bit boring, but just thought i'd show you what i'v been buying while the car is currently out of action :)

Cheers guys and there will be a lot more to come soon enough :tup:

that is fucking awesome mate

defo one of the best about imo

That looks awesome compared to the photos you showed me before. Definitely all red rears FTW! Look forward to seeing it sometime this year!

Nice ice list :D

That makes me a little happier as that sounds pretty much spot on what i'm getting. Best i've managed is 325 from one £60 fill up.

A fellow raddo owner had made me start thinking i had over fueling issues but looks like i don't based on yours and anothers fuel consumptions.

Nice audio gear too mate, defo getting some rainbow compo's in the future. You got audioscape door pods already?

Cheers again folks.

Yeh seems to be hat most folk are getting to be honest.

Yeh got audioscape pods also trimmed in the same red leather.

Cant wait till its all in :D

Cheers for the comments once again folks! :-)

Uber!

Always loved corrado's since my dad had 2 of them back in the 90s (brings back memories :))

He had a VR6 and a VR6 storm.
