Recommended Posts

I was wondering if you can buy complete red tail lights?

In terms of original Corrado ones.. no, you can only do DIY tinting I'm afraid! :(

Hi mate,

I've supplied quite a few sets of body shop tinted all red lights for MK2, 3, 4 Golf and Corrado with no complaints so far. The lights are totally smoothed (all markings, logos etc removed), tinted, lacquered, oven baked, de-nibbed and finally machine polished to a show car finish. All this is done in a pro. body shop and to the highest standard and only genuine undamaged Hella units are used. Asking price for a set of Corrado lights is £55 delivered which I reckon is fair when you consider that I have to buy the lights to start with. You can go down the DIY route with a can of red spray for under a tenner but I think you'll see the difference. The pics below show a set in my own car.

Is it done on a exchange basis?

I'm in N. Ireland and I do operate an exchange scheme over here but as you are on the mainland it could be a bit of a problem with postage etc. Bear in mind also that the all reds will not pass MOT so you would probably want to keep your standard lights anyway. I do have a couple of sets of lights at the moment awaiting treatment.

So is that £55 an non exchange price?

Correct, £55 for a straight sale inc. delivery.

 

I wouldnt mind making up the difference in postage costs to England if your happy to post. That is when/if you are intenting on tinting the couple of spare sets you have :)

I'll be doing a couple of sets over the next week or two. I'll PM you with pics when they are ready. The price would be £55 including delivery. Many thanks.

Many thanks for the interest guys. As things stand at the moment I have three sets which are all provisionally spoken for. I will be doing further sets in the future as and when I can source them and they will be posted in the Parts for Sale.
