Now it still needs a nice flat and polish, but it's all back together, all trims, grille's mouldings etc have all been done again in satin black, rear lights lacquered, and it's nearly done!

Grey or red scotch. You can really see the colour in the last pic. I think green is one of the best colours for the corrado.

Next was this.... My wheels arrived so got my tyres all swapped over and fitted the wheels. Can't decide if I should get a smaller profile or not! Wanted to keep original 15 inch wheels keep it as close to standard as possible!
