i would leave the colour coding to a minimum tbh...........red Corrados' really need the black trim to break up the redness of it

 

 

as it is at the moment its looks the part

Interior is pretty damn good as well....mmmmm pinhole leather 8)

Love it - how do you like the angel eyes? Were they difficult to fit?

Thanks all

Think I agree. Will leave it as it is.

 

Hi Mr Beige :D

You would not believe how much better the car is. To think that I have been driving it like that for over a year!

 

I knew there was something wrong but never guessed it would be that simple to fix. Goes like the clappers now & since I rerouted the induction kit it roars like a lion grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah - agree 100% on red Corrados. Its like white too - it really needs bits of black trim to break up the colour.

Easy 10 minute job. If I can fit them anyone could ;-)

 

I think they are a vast improvement on the OE, eapescially at night with some nice blue tinted bulbs in.

 

The only problem is I think they were for a left hand drive as the light shines higher on the O/S I have tried to adjust but I suspect it may fail the MOT next month. I may just put the old ones back on for the MOT. If anyone has had a similar prob & has a solution I am all ears!
