    So I was perusing around at old stuff and came across Praks's car. He has a low post count, yet one of the nicest Corrado's on here. Where are the pics man?!? Here's some inspiration to get him to snap some pics.

    I didn't even think about the gray thread. I was just searchin his name and posts. Got any of that lucious interior installed? I wish I had done A4 handles now in the worst way. Maybe this winter.

    One of my all-time favourites too , only thing I don't like is the fully shaved front bumper (ie. shaved fogs & turns)

    You hit the nail on the head. I'm not a fan of shaved bumpers either. I would also polish the other wheels to match the extra in the trunk. Not a fan of the black centers.

    Polished wheels are not always the best look. Especially on his car where he has accents of black throughout the car.

    #1- Polished wheels are the best look. Black wheels look cheap, and these wheels are very nice and expensive. Polished lips and black centers are my biggest pet peeve. (where is Mike on this one?)

    #2- Where are the black accents his side markers?.. his entire car is gray, even the plate tub was color matched. He has less black accents than a stock Corrado. Interior doesn't count as black accents, we all have black accented interior (well except me, I have obnoxious Orange/Tan)

    I call your interior color "Pumpkin Poop".

    But of course you are right because of your high post count.

    You fail to realize the car is in Europe. US markers are NOT common place over there hence why he runs them.

    You are right.. it's not because I have taste, just high post count. I haven't been a member since 02 and built a pretty respectable car. Or the fact that I was kidding and was purely being an ass about the polished wheel thing. (I have fully polished RS's)

    As you can see I am clearly a fan of this car and I was simply looking for more pics cause it's bad ass.

    Will, I like the name.

    Actually, it's hard to find Praks He prepare his car to few local meets. The easiest way is to visit www.corrado.com.pl/forums , register and watch his project or start thread in english

    My apology if I sounded hostile. I agree that you built a respectable car and have taste.
