Awesome car! More early 16v corrados to take over the WOORRRLLLDD.

 

Hate to say it, but that grille won't fit if it's a late: the mountings are different as I found out :brickwall:

hi, nice clean looking valver. I reckon an anti-roll bar upgrade is a worthy choice... Im on2 my 3rd rado an got my latest one 3 weeks ago, when my cash goes up im gettin an Eibach anti-roll bar... And with that late spec grille, ur gonna have 2 drill an file out a slot in the middle 2 mount it, and it mite stick out a bit as mine did an couldnt do anythin about it...

i had to cut the tags off and glue them back on so its an easy modification.

ADAPT AND SURVIVE :salute:

 

I have the badgeless grille and angel eyes combo...... will look great! Can't wait to see pics.

 

175k is bugger all, whe I tell people I have 155k on my car they go :pale: and assume it's as good as dead. Fools.

yup mileage means noting as long as its been loked after, the car you are picking up looks really nice and tidy, the mods should look smart as well when you get em on!

That's looking alot better, i didn't think i'd like the chrome lights and badgeless grille but it works, the rear looks alot fresher too.

If i were you i'd invest in some new indicators and fogs to freshen the front up further.

 

Nice car.

[Jenna 0]

yeah i defo need some new indicators and fog lights. thats letting the car down at the moment

Nice car mate looking good with new mods!

Just purchased red 16v rado and have ordered same grill and all red tail lights.Was the grill hard to fit and where did you get your coilovers.

I am still deciding what sort of wheels to go for but will probably go for something deep dish.

Keep it up and keep the pics. coming too

thanks for the comments

 

the grill was a bit of a pain,had to cut of the bottom 3 tabs and re glue 2 off them back on where the old grill had them,and the top 3 tabs are also different,had to redrill the front panel and make the holes into slots for the tabs,30 mins work so not too bad
