Andy-H 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Morning All. Been away for a couple of years but finally couldn't hold out any longer and bought another Corrado It's a J plate valver but I want to confirm this is the "late" type. I tried searching on here but I couldn't find anything that confirmed what I have at this age ?!?! It looks like it has the late bonnet on but I guess that could have been replaced at any point. The reason I ask is because the Corrado has In-pro lights fitted but I want to replace them with originals but need to make sure I get the right ones. Sorry for the dumb question. Many thanks in advance, Andy. PS, here is the car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAG-hag 0 Posted August 25, 2013 I thought j plate would mean an early car, however you have a late bonnet and bumper from what I can see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy-H 0 Posted August 25, 2013 This is what's confusing me too. The car has had a lot of work done to it but it has an early dash with the old style heater controls but the front looks late to me. Very confused ?!?!? Are there any fittings on the headlights that would give it away do you think?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted August 25, 2013 Late cars have a 70l tank, early shell 55l (lower boot floor and higher gallon figures on dash!), other changes include moving from hook to bar exhaust hangers and revised electrics, sunroof closing on locking iirc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

st4stokie 10 Posted August 25, 2013 Hi might be interested in a swap deal with my late headlights? Only in Stoke so not far from you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy-H 0 Posted August 25, 2013 There is a stone chip in the corner of one of these but they are water tight. Need to decide if I'm gonna go back to originals or keep these and pop some Lamin-x on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 6 Posted August 27, 2013 If the cross over models had the late fronts did they also have the wide track and 5 stud? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look nice with the lamin-x on the headlights, fogs and indicators especially with the car being black Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eugopnosaj 0 Posted August 28, 2013 92'/J reg is the crossover year, it has a late exterior but early interior. My valver is a cross over but I swapped all the interior over from a late car ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
