Day on a Corrado VR6

[leeds_182]

Our kid recently bought this vr6. It's the auto version which is pretty terrible at first but not that bad when you get used to it.

All the usual cleaning stuff that I'm not going to bore you with but these are the results. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

Very nice. What is the official colour of it? Are these going up in value? Always fancied one but not sure of the current prices

 

[Silent_Scone]

I.love.these.

Awful cars. But brilliant.

Bloody lovely. Just needs manual and keeping as it is.

Colour is Blackberry (or Bramble).

A gorgeous colour.

A gorgeous colour.

Bramble Metallic (Red) ( K4Z is the code) is the actual paint colour and was only available for 1994 model corrado's

Conversation isn't out of the way price wise apparently.

 

[Clio_fool]

That is a fantastic colour. Looks very nice indeed.

I now own the above car L94 EPR, absolute head turner, at first after moving from a 92 G60 manual the gearbox takes getting used to, i find myself using the 1-2-3 gears alot, which makes it better to drive at high revs, but great to have the automatic for longer drives

What was the original colour? They must have changed it as it’s purple on the database.

 

[Trainerbrow]

If that is the same car, it looked miles better ion the OEM colour

One thing is certain, there is no purple option

 

[Trainerbrow]

[Flob]

Purple or not that looks bloody tidy. How comes the original pics were removed?

 

[Hixle]

Yeah I love the new colour. Looks brilliant.

Anyway disregarding my comments on the colour/wheels, you got pics of the work you’ve done to it? Love the fact it’s got clear glass in it 👌

Looks absolutely fantastic. Far better than the oem colour.

Any progress photos?

Random trivia I recall from years ago with Corrados.

Had the windscreen replaced on my previous Punto GT. Was chatting to the bloke swapping the screen out and asked him what's the worst screen to replace.

He said "Without doubt - the Corrado. Absolute t**t of a job." It was a franchise he worked for and if a Corrado job came up, they would try to fob it off to other installers. Apparently, it required the some of the dash to come out in order to get the screen out.
