Since i bought my Yellow Rado a couple of months ago i have had very mixed reactions to the colour! Personally i love it but some people seem to think its rather nasty and that i was mad to buy a yellow car so i just thought i would ask you guys for some honest opinions!
Dont worry, i wont be offended by the results, after all everyone has their own preferences! :cool:
so heres mine:

and here is how cool imo they can look (and how ideally i would like mine to look :cool:):

I love the yellow vws :D
However not a fan of smoothing trim off.. as you can tell on my golfy :rolleyes:
-
That Corrado is seriously sexy.
:cool:
DO IT!
-
I have been warned against removing the trim by my local bodyshop anyway, they reckon that cos yellow fades badly (even though it does not look that faded) if i remove the side trim i might end up with a brighter yellow stripe down the side! :laugh:

Yeah the 2nd one is close (dont wanna copy it 100%) to what i want mine to look like when its done (think it was featured in PVW a couple of years back with airride etc) but i have loads of bits to fix first before i can start modding! :sad:
Just interested in opinions on the colour tho cos a couple of people have said they dont like it and that darker shades suit rado's best! Im not that bothered cos i like it, but was just interested to see what people on here thought? :smiley:
-
oh Martin, thanks for re-igniting my ' I want a Corrado' thoughts...
:angry: :grin:

a few years ago I was in nappies... :grin:
I like the Yellow on both your car and the modded one, however some won't look right in the colour depeneding on what you do to them.
I like big bumpered black Golfs,but don't like black small bumpered Golfs.for example.

Gotta love it , its something different and with the weather like it is at the moment i bet it pops really bright ,
fed up so silver n black cars , every other car is
-
i like it me self..... like the lowered/smoothed version even more so :cool:
-
its a colour i would prob think twice about buying to be honest, prefer to admire other peoples yellow cars.
Yellow does suit the corrado very well though i think :cool:
-
being honest its not my favourite colour, but i think thats partly because every nugget yellow 'rado i've seen has been dodgily modified.. it seems that garish colour often means garish styling as well. however your 'inspiration' photo is awesome!
remove the trim anyway, if it leaves a mark, good excuse to get the body mopped over and bring back the fresh paint!
-
Nugget yellow Corrado's rock! Also like the fact the colour wasn't available for long :smug: :grin:
-
Ive always hated the yellow when ive seen one in the mags and on the net but after parking next to a yellow g60 rado yesterday i absolutley love the colour!!!
-
I answered "ok but wouldn't drive a yellow car myself" but I think you should have put an option of "Cool, but wouldn't drive a yellow car myself". If I was after a raddo then I doubt it would be my first choice colour, but I think that they do suit the yellow and you don't see many about. :afro:
-
Voted that I don't like it, and I seem to be out on my own! Oh well, it's nothing personnal, just the colour doesn't do it for me one bit I'm afraid. But it's still a cool VW no doubt!
-
lol well thats pretty reassuring and the rarity value is cool too! :cool:
tbh prior to buying or viewing the car i would have probably voted as ok but wouldnt own a yellow car myself too! :smiley:
It definately was not my 1st choice colour either but has kinda grown on me!
Joe - dont worry mate, im not a fan of garish styling either!
Thinking about it, most of the people that have critisised the colour have not been dubbers anyway so what would they know!! :laugh:

No probs buddy, like i said i wanted honest opinions and it is the sort of colour that not everyone is gonna like, hence why i asked! :smiley:

yellow is well cool. you gotta stand out from the crowd a bit, unless of course youre an introvert in which case you dont.
