Thanks for all the nice comments.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed building the car and reading posts on the forum.

 

There sure are some nice Corrados on the here, that have been inspirational.

 

TRIGGERMYSON: Next step was going to be the interior....but with a baby on the way the Rado may well be for sale to make way for something a little more practical

Great looking car chap. I think it'd benefit from a late-style grille though (and maybe even a black VW badge).

[Clarkeboy 0]

I have toyed with a later grill, but I want to keep the car looking it's age and little more 'old school'.

 

A black badge though I may try.

 

I've just got a set of NOS front and rear 16v badges, but can't decide whether to fit them or not.

 

What do you guys think?
