corrado front end

[juleshs]

any one know if the corrado slam panel headlights and grille will fit a 1990 golf

[nealey]

corrado headlights in a mk2 have been done before, iirc it involves using a jetta slam panel, corrado headlights and rallye grill and a bit of chopping etc

Jolfa on clubgti has done it

[juleshs]

i picked the slam panel and headlights up for £50   £30 for the rallye grill so not too bad

[juleshs]

do not try this with a corrado slam panel, it will fit but shape is wrong and also the bonnet catch is in the wrong place,
jetta slam panel next

[juleshs]

well the old thing as gone from this

to this

to this

and now this

maybe back to this

i bought a corrado slam panel to start with but that was the wrong shape and not being able to weld that went on the scrap pile, next i bought a jetta slam panel which was a total wast of money, by the time i had cut out the bits i needed to it looked like a golf slam panel, so that was £70 well spent, basicly all you need is a pair of corrado headlights and the willingness to chop up a rallye grille.
i have got a couple of things to finnish ie, deep grille spoiler to get rid of the gap and a bit of paint on the bottom of the grille then may change it back to 4 lamp not sure i like it
oppinions and ideas welcome

Prefer the original tbh but try it with a spoiler and see how it goes
