Corrado VR6

Featured Replies

Picked this up yesterday, drove back from Blackburn faultlessly

Model: Late spec Corrado VR6

Colour: Mulberry

Mileage: 143k (just had mega service with geniune bits and chains done couple of thou ago)

All the electrical bits work, had to replace the heater controls but had that supplied with the car along with bucket loads of other spares including the original rear lights, not sure whether of not to go back to them?

Mechanically sound, pulls like a train with that lovely V6 burble, custom exhaust on the list as the one on the car has a lovely hole in it :lol:

Plans include coilovers and TH-monos in silver, just needs a little bit of paint touch up and bodywork and it'll be a minter :-D

Already planned bud, start of the list, just not sure whether to paint or get a replacement in the correct colour

Mate, you've no idea :lol:

That. Is. Beautiful :drool: If only insurance on a VR6 wouldn't bankrupt me hahah

The first few weeks of ownership are always fine, give it a month or so before you're having to fix things every weekend!

I loved mine but got fed-up of having to take the thing apart all the time to sort trivial little things out.

Pistonheads per chance? Snapped the guys hand off :lol:

Only got exhaust plans at the mo, possibly look at upgraded air/panel filters but not sure after that

What ever you do don't drill the airbox if its still in one piece, find a cheap one already done, you will soon find out how much good 2nd hand Corrado bits are. That heater panel you just replaced, £100 for a good one :shock:

I know, silly prices, not sure whether I'll do the airbox or not, got a K&N panel filter on order on the cheap from work, changed the rear lights back to the standard one's now, on the lookout for all red rears now :-)

First big job done, nice new stainless cat-back system, not as intrusive as the rocco's one was :lol: but still sounds mint when you go for it :-D

Next job I think will be the filler cap, but unsure whether or not to just wrap it (ideas as to what design I'm not sure?) or paint it? Decisions...

videos!!

OEM ftw on a car this good condition :)

Looks like I need to find some paint then :lol:

Had a play with few products from the new G3 detailing range, done wonders for the paint on the car, really bought it back in places and effortlessly covered up some big scratches

Original lights back on and can just see new exhaust
