vizzioarts Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Started life as a totally standard n/a, no mods or problems. Dad has owned the car from about 2000 miles, well looked after ever since. After removing the runners down the sides snapped up this pic in Feb 2012 August 2012 installed 30mm springs, and bought a set of 15" alloys cheap and got them fitted to it. The car sat like this over winter with no additional mods until now. 14th May 2013 Saw a TTE backbox exhaust come up on Gumtree and just had to have it as I haven't seen one for sale locally in the past year of keeping an eye out.Got it home, polished the tip up a bit and got it fitted last night. Results on car The sound makes a huge difference from standard, really helps the car out at lower and mid-range revs. Also gave PlastiDip a go last week on the rear Toyota badge. Pretty pleased with the results, this stuff is a gift to work with, love it. Before Cleaned, masked off and 1st coat 2nd coat 3rd and 4th coat, and masking removed Started to work on peeling the edges and the center Finished Result Further upgrades in mind (other suggestions welcome!) Engine-Intake manifold and pod filter-Exhaust Manifold Interior-Glanza interior (seats and door-cards)-SR dials-Cup holders Exterior-Front badge Plastidipped (maybe)-All blemishes touched up on paintwork-Speedline Alloys-Color coded mirrors (maybe)-Engine bay clean and tidyup-Calipers and drums painted (maybe)-And a good machine polish P.s. Since exterior pictures were taken square front plate has been installed. Updates soon hopefully,Cheers for reading,Chris Edited June 4, 2015 by vizzioarts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vizzioarts Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 I like to have a dabble with dipping looks fun Plastidip is great fun, bought a tin around Christmas time to give it a go. Best part is if you dont like it/go wrong, just peel it off. Surprised at how well it stands up to cleaning etc. Great stuff looks smart mate! keep the mods cumin Thinking about a Glanza rear bumper to house the exhaust a little better. Inspired from @drongo boi dads SR after reading through his thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
