I have a Corrado. I think you'll have two problems. The outside turnsignal
edge is slanted. As it moves down it goes towards the center of the car.
Also the VR6's foglights tend to crack if used in cold weather. This is not
the rule as mine are not yet cracked, but it is a common problem. If you do
it, take em from a G60 Corrado. The turnsignals are orange, but you can
order clear euro ones. Also I think the Corrado's bumper fronts are slanted
more than the Coupe GT. It'd be a tough mod. 
	I'm pretty sure the Coupe's lights are taller top to bottom anyway.

The corrado's go are shaped like this. The slant is on the outside of the
car. This is a diagram of the passnger side assembly from the front.
