I'd leave the slats white and refit the lights, love the look of the front of g60dans car and IMO the bumper doesnt look quite right without the lights in. as for the slats normally i'd say black, but in your case i think it looks better white since everything else is colour coded!

IMO You will Bastardise the C with 2 much White. (BTW my Fav colour)

Leave the front alone but if you are dead cert have a look at Stevemac's front grill ..........

The back might look the nuts if you do a proper job with a new flush panel but leave the bumper alone.

You're all going to hate me for this but.... apart from slight lowering job and different wheels, I haven't seen a modification on a Corrado that I actually like. I don't think you can improve on the original design, and all this one wiper and smooth stuff makes them look frankly, like Chavmobiles. There we are, my two cents' worth. I feel better. *Runs, hides*

PS: What's all this about yellow making the car worth £1,000 less? If that's the case, then mine's free to a good home. Any takers? lol

When can I pick it up? :)

if everyone had the same tastes the world would be a pretty dull place. I dont think you can improve the original design either, but you can 'enhance' it with subtle touches, which is the essance of the current vdub scene. Theres alot of fans of the standard look on here Oldyeller, so you're not alone!

[OldYeller 0]

That's very true. I don't object to modifications, I had an early Bug once (okay so it's aircooled and maybe a different genre of 'dub scene') that I did up and did a few mods on. I'd post a pic up if anyone was interested and if I could find out how to do it... being a newbie and all! I just think modern cars suffer from too many modifications on the original design. Subtle I can live with. Down with the Chav!

:D And no, I don't want to part with my Corrado, standard or not, worth bugger all or not, I wouldn't live without it.

PS: I can't help being opinionated! Hahahah

lets have a look at your bug then! They're how i got into VW's, never owned one but loved them since I was a kid.

[OldYeller 0]

Righty then, let's give this a go. I'll go for the before and after for maximum impact! :lol:

[OldYeller 0]

Almost got it right apart from the comedy mismatch of comments! I could prentend I did it on purpose, but I won't and I'll just say D-OH! Hahaha!

[chrishill 0]

i'd buy that for £60! ;) very very 8)

I had a bug firstn 1960 full length sunroof but just as i like modding,it got full hydraulic suspension which would lower car to hit tarmac.Good until i sprung a leak cruising thro the high st and car collapsed onto the deck :oops:

[GIXXERUK 0]

each to their own OldYeller,

but yeah the original design is spot on

[dubster82 0]

get rid of the colour coded spoiler, black grill slats, maybe even an FK grille without the grill spoiler and leave the bumper.

 

That would look god i reckon.

 

Even better with that look on some 9x16's, ulimatlely some deep dish 17" BBS RS :lol:

[Shilakadaddy 0]

I agree with dubster82 as far as the spoiler goes... definately should be black. The other stuff looks a little bit odd, but keeps the car individual..

[Bally 0]

I'd break the white up abit, also would change the rims..

 

Stick some pics up when its all done Addie..

[flusted 0]

Can some1 photoshop the front spoiler black for me?

[chrishill 0]

here you go...

[Henny 0]

OldYeller, where are you from? I recognise that bug... 8)

 

(I used to work at a Beetle specialists and so do most of the big shows...)

[OldYeller 0]

Well, when I had the bug I was living in North London, Enfield to be precise. I don't live there anymore however. Had the bug for a fair few years, so chances are, if you remember it, it would have been when I owned it. I haven't seen it since I sold it.
