Title: Someones Scratched my Corrado!!!
Post by: AdamB on 18 January 2005, 16:43
After the crappy weather, I thought I better clean the salt and road muck off the Corrado. When I dried it off I could see a load of scratches across my newly painted bonnet! I was mortified, having just spent a large wedge on repairs and a respray. It looks like Torvill and Dean have been practising bloody figure skating across the top of it!

Fortunatly, because the respray is only a month old, I was able to use some cutting compound and remove it all. I'm just feeling "a bit annoyed" that some little Oik decided my bonnet was the place vent some frustration! :angry:

Couldn't be cat claw marks or bird scratches could it ? The cats in my neighbourhood like to sit on my bonnet when I get home from work while the engine is still warm. Chase them off though and the claws come out, scrambling for grip !

I don't think so, mostly long single scratches, but there was an area that looked like it had been attacked by some glass paper.

I've not really been on there much, I pop in now and then, but not with the frequency I get on here.
I haven't done anything to the cosmetics - I feel it would be wrong to go alter a Storm from its originality. I've put a Kenwood basstube in the boot, and done a "few" tweaks on the engine - throttle bodies, Ramair induction kit, Milltek exhuast, Remap. All doen by AmD. She certainly shifts now, but looks so standard. Just the way I want it!

Do not ask which creature screams in the night,
Do not question who waits for you in the shadow.
It is my cry that wakes you in the night,
and my body that crouches in the shadow.
I am undead and you are my puppet
That dances to my tune.  :laugh:

It was pushing out over 200BHP at AmD, but the mechaninc said the engine was still tight and would improve as it loosened off.
