Face Lift for my Corrado

Recommended Posts

My VR came from the dealer with a body coloured grille and a chrome VW badge. I've never been entirely happy with this look, why?

1. The chrome badge looks out of place

2 The black headlamp trims don't blend in with it.

3 If you fit a black grille it looks like a big black hole in the fromt end with the standard light trims.

 

Solution?

Colour coded light trims to be used with either colour coded or black grilles takes a couple of seconds to swap and both are more successful IMO. :D

done a good job of that, did you use plastic primer etc? is the grill smooth finish now or still the textured effect?

The grille was was prepared with plastic primer etc, and grille is a very smooth finish like the body work ie detextured. The spray work was done by a Lotus specialist, they're used to plastic after all.[/i]

Just finished fitting the light surrounds, using original grille until the weather improves but looks so much better. :D

I will post a pic when I get chance in the mean time have a look at the 'black hole effect' with the standard black trims and a black grille. Even this grille will be transformed with the silver light surrounds reducing the surface area of the black making it look more 'focused'

Not that i've given it any thought you understand

Not the best pic (car's filthy and the grille has seen better days) but you get the idea.

Yeh, I believe its the 90mm spoiler, i'm sure it will seem deeper still once the FK Konigsport coilovers are fitted. :afro:
