Sounds interesting! I'm not sure on the twin exhaust rear bumper, but its your car and you obviously have a vision of how you want it to look to I'm not one to judge! Personally I would smooth the current recess and get some turn down tailpipes made ;) are you going to smooth any of the bumper swage lines or light recesses etc?

Swage lines and lights are staying, just smoothing the tops and side mouldings :wink:

Picked up the Black dash yesterday from Cannock and it's a complete dash for only £10 so I dropped in the Anni clocks to see it'll look like



Then I got the solder gun out and cut the plastic from behind and then carefully cut the material out and the Corrado spoiler switch fits a treat

Will swap out the tweaters for some 4" speakers and then swap the dash over next weekend :thumbup:

Cheers Po*Low* :wink:

Cheers bud, but the one in the Cabrio is the same colour and hole free :wink:

Nothing major today, just replaced the tweeters for some 4" speakers and two red LED's in the top of the Anni clocks and removed the green plastic strip.

Is there anymore bulb's I need to replace???

Anyway, speakers. I needed to remove a couple of grille tags but they still fit ok.





And passenger one.





Working up to the dash replacement this weekend.

Replaced the dash this weekend and converted my original clocks by swapping out the Anni faces which isn't as straight forward as it sounds and fitted red LED's and then sewn on a Black leather steering wheel cover.

Painted the bottom rail on the Vento grille in VW Candy White and kinda love it!!! So I started to filler and smooth the top of the front bumper with Stopper and left it over night so I hopefully can smooth it today and paint it ready for fitting tonight. :thumbup:
