This is my '89 Corrado 16v, NZ new.(they only sold 6 in NZ).
Only minor mods;

Koni adjustable struts,
Jamex -40mm springs,
16" TSW alloys (these things weigh nearly 5kg each more than a VW Motorsport alloy b.t.w...  not helpful! ),
Momo Evo Sport steering wheel,
King Dragon air filter.

Any other Corrado's in NZ???

We have at least eight (16V & G60) on VASK including yourself, and there are a few others known to be around in Auckland including one or two VR6s.

Your rado looks really nice, has it had a fresh coat of paint recently? did you remove the 16v badge off the back? From the first photo i thought you had a LHD NZ new rado! then realised the pic was reversed..

Yeah fresh Tornado Red (we made it quite deep red, lots of variations of this colour and I didn't want it to be too orangey).I left it in town one night and a drunk guy feel asleep at the wheel of his car and smacked in to the back so I thought "Oh well I think I had better just paint the whole thing now heh heh, get all the red matching an all!"
1989, but I don't think it was registered til '90 or '91 . I've had it for 6 years but it might have had a plate change before then I don't know.

the previous picture shows the Corrado after being shunted out of its park space, the line behind it being the front mark of the space it was in.

Sh!t, man that must have totally pissed you off when you found that!

Yeah full respray, had rear damage and since that was going to get repaired I got the rear panel vertical seams flushed off, and I never got around to sticking the 16v badge back on.  The VW symbol in the middle is the wrong one too, might have been off one of my Golfs originally, not sure...it just didn't quite fit (at first heh heh)

Ooooh yeeaah...  not a happy chappie.  It was kinda funny I woke up to the sound of the phone about 7am, and had a police officer telling me my car has been in an accident..  "mumble mumble ...  but it CAN'T have been,  it's parked!"

It was quite a big hit, but dead centre. We checked the chassis dimensions and it was still spot on. The other car was a wreck!
