Oh yes.. this came up for lengthy discussion last year...

 

General verdict was that it was nasty. The wheels are really nice but MK4 lights on a Corrado just don't work.

Right I only joined this year ...

 

No point trying to update a classic car because then ... it won't be a classic anymore !!!

Beetle ain't a classic ... Mini ain't a classic ... let's see the Corrado remain a classic 8)

it takes away the angular front of the C, I don't like it either tbh

hmmmm not too sure on it!!!! however i have seen some replacement headlights for the corrado they are the same lights as originally fitted to the corrado but have dark surroundings and you can see the lights inside and the spot lights!!! you see this conversion done alot to MK4 golfs just wondered if anyone else has seen them or knows where to get them????

I think they use Audi lights. Check the VW vortex as there are couple of Canadian C's running these.

Could be a good time to post your R32 C chop Jim?

[Jim 2]

Well I did think about this...

 

Everyone said that the R32 chop I did seemed a little better as I had resized the lights to be slightly smaller than standard MK4 size - and for some reason they worked a bit better. You guys can make your own mind up if you like!

Don't like it much - appreciate what he was trying to do though.

Prefer Jim's R32 chop above - looks a lot better.
