  1. Hah, there's already a massive chunk out of the middle of the lip, serious chip, so film would be a bit pointless now. Plus it's covered in loads of stone chips now, the joys of Lancashire County Council's obsession with chip and tarring roads around here. I'll most likely look into paint protection film when it inevitably goes in for a front end refresh in 2 years or so.


  2. I just literally saw them now haha, great minds think alike. Unfortunately at the moment I'm unemployed, got made redundant just before December, after this Starlet had already gone in for the respray. Sod all moolah left :(



    I'd quite like to get some spacers to bring the Rays out, but it seems for the 10-15mm I'd want, I'll need hubcentric spacers with longer studs putting into the hubs which seems a faff.


  3. Well, as some of you may have well seen on Facebook, big things happened to the Trust Krusher over the last month or two. I'll let pictures do the talking...

    Full respray done by Fat Fender, and back into the original Toyota 205 Black Metallic rather than the Ford Panther Black it was in. Good job done by them, with repairs to the optional aero skirts needed to replace brackets and repair cracks etc. Luckily there were no rust goblins lurking underneath the original sill cladding. New windscreen in to get rid of all the chips and scratches, and previous bad body repairs to the passenger rear quarter made good and all dents around the body out and/or filled.

     

    The front Livesports splitter is a replica by Id-Workz, and that was in fine shape. The Tom's spoiler is very likely to be genuine, having come from SPS-Dane/Starlet-Bristol for those of you who recognise that name from back in the day.

     

    On the whole, I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with the car, and I can't wait to get it to some shows. I don't want to drive it about, it looks that good. Might just turn up with the front end wrapped in scenetape just to keep stone chips away!
