Yeah well. I think at the time I was wearing my "sensible head" and I didn't actually think much of the corrado back then..

Mind you..I was upgrading from the Daihatsu Charade 1.3 Saloon... now that is a SH1T3 car if there ever was one!

The Corrado is a nice looking car no doubt about it..I just think it would look nicer in a different color.

The only way you can make a Daihatsu look good is if you paint it see-through or torch it.

Yellow has become almost the signature colour for the RS, I agree it does not look too bad in yellow. I moght consider buying an RS, but not in yellow.

This coming from a guy who at the start of this thread said he was considering a yellow megane?

here's some pictures of a yellow one...

SOC,
I don't much like the shade of yellow in this link. It's a bit too pale. If you are going to go for yellow may as well have a vivid shade.
These pictures show the car in yellow, but looks like a different shade..Is there more than one shade of yellow available on the S3 :smt017

First pic taken from above link.

I Think these ones look brighter/ more vivid.

First image not working by the looks of it. Now that I see these pics (as opposed to the original link you posted). I doesn't look so bad in yellow.
Still don't think I'd own a yellow car though.

The more I look at it.. the more I like it..

Aww guys, your making me even more confused now....... :smt100

The question is would I put up with a yellow car for a chunk off the price - sure what's a respray cost these days? Danny K ???

Ah sure this one may not even be available any more.... and of course then there's Mrs. SOCs-boss

You should have just listened to me from the start :lol:

YELLOW suits an S3! Like I said I've never noticed one any other colour - as mentioned stick a nice set of black rims on and you'd have a cool car

Ahh, but would that mean it's too noticeable? One of the attractions to the S3 is it's inconspicuous(sp?) looks
