dan 0 Posted October 3, 2003 I removed all the manufacturers writing on the light clusters & polished them up. Then I applied 3.5mm black stripes along the non-reflective lines in the lights. I used a matt black vinyl which matches the original light surround nicely. As I stuck the vinyl on the sort of non reflective part of the lights it has no visible effect on the indicator brightness. Passed MOT last Friday no problem :D Shout out to John J who sold me his old clusters 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan 0 Posted October 6, 2003 Cheers guys, At last I'm happy with the exterior of the car (famous last words). No seriously thats it. I'm not doing any more engine up-grades either. I'm just going to settle with the car as it is & spend all my money on keeping it well maintained. :D Heres some more pics I took at the same time..

matt buz 0 Posted October 6, 2003 it is a pleasure to look at cars of that quality BTW the thing you have done with the lights looks awesome but arent the MOT testers a bit dodgy with that sort of thing? Probably arent but either way it looks cool. Love the wheels as well. I think that C's look better with a wheel thats not super flashy. They compliment the car really well. What are they off? A beetle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Matt, The indicators light up as normal, its only when they're switched off they look slightly darker. This is due to the thickness of the black strip (3.5mm) & the positioning of them (on the sort of least reflective sections). It took me about 2hours to apply the vinyl stripes & didn't cost me a penny :) . As I said, they passed the MOT last Friday :D The wheels are 16" replicas (although made in Italy) taken from the Audi RS4. The offset is just right I think, really helps their appearance on the Corrado. I got the wheels for £400=VAT from a supplier in N Ireland 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
