  1. Is it just me or is that plug the wrong side? On my n/a and the glanza they both plug in on the drivers side?

    That's exactly what I thought! I had all the plastics off on the drivers side looking for the plug as that's where everyone else's tended to be at! But I had no luck finding it, it's either not here or greatly hidden. I checked the passenger side too just in case but other than the existing wiring put in front he previous owner there was no other wires! But yeah the plug is on the passenger side of the shelf strangely

  2. So I purchased a new parcel shelf as I wanted to replace the stock shelf which had some aftermarket speakers that weighed the shelf down and caused it to rattle a lot. So I picked this beauty up.

    It's from a glanza originally and the speakers are genuine Toyota. Now! I was hoping that things would flow smoothly and all if have to do is pull back the interior trim and hope that I had the plug there waiting to connect to the new speakers and all would be good. But as we know things are never that simple... Unfortunately I don't seem to have the plug, so I'll have to wire them up the same way you would aftermarket speakers. There is wire already there from the previous install of 6x9's but I want to get fresh and replace them old wiring just for peace of mind.

    Sounds simple, the only dilemma I have is this

    I want to keep the plug as it is so I don't ruin the stock form of the shelf/wiring. So does anyone know how I could get around this or what would be easiest. There are 4 pins inside the plug, can anyone give me a little guidance?

  3. Coming on well

    Is that a gt turbo spoiler?

    It certainly is, was on the car when I bought it and I'm still undecided on it tbh! Might look better colour coded

    No worries mate.. u had quote to have it painted?

    Just outta intrest as i work in body shop lol :)

    I haven't just yet tbh. A friend who's also on here may be able to get it me done for about £70 but that's not a definite

  4. Just stapled and plastic welded the cracks today mate..

    Gunna book courier when i finish work hopefully be collected tommorow :p

    That's brilliant! Thanks a lot can't wait, although I have to wait until I can comfortably afford to get it painted xD

  5. Personally id prefer 45's but they seem to get stick for not filling the arches enough? And thanks for the advice Fozzie I'll make sure to get the adjustable pan hard on my to do list!

    Haha yes Fordie I knew you'd agree! I'm looking forward to receiving this bumper :D

  6. Great updates mate glanza rear bumper will suit it well :)

    Thanks rich!

    Tyre scrubbing on one side only?

    I think it's both sides, it's only when I hit a bump over say 35mph so it's not all that bad, and pretty sure it's both sides, it's just scraping the inner arch when it hits too hard. Lot worse when I have more than 2 people in the car though! Haha I'll be getting some 195/50's at some point though as these are 55's which is probably the main reason it's happening

  7. Purchased shocks and springs, admittedly a few weeks ago now! But as there was some speculation he was doing bad (now resolved and it is the courier not himself) thought better late than never.

    Greatly packaged up, they came in a meisters cool lovers box surrounded by bubble wrap etc and also then placed inside another box! Great communication when he was available and very trustworthy, would definitely buy from him again!

  8. Just a little update! New wheel nuts are on, just plain black steel nuts.

    Springs have settled a fair but as the tires are now scrubbing daily! And you can see on the tires here where they're catching on the arch:

    One of my headlight bulbs decided to stop working so I ordered some yellow bulbs and Amber (more yellow) sidelights bulbs:

    Old and new headlight:

    It's really hard to show the true colour but the left side is the stock so as you can tell the new ones were very yellow.

    But within an hour of having them in one of the bulbs decided to stop working... This is what I was greeted with:

    Crazy! They were installed correctly and I had gloves on too, although one of the boxes the bulbs arrived in was very destroyed so I've contacted the seller.

    I also managed to give the car a clean as it was embarrassingly bad. All four alloys were this colour:

    And after a clean:

    That's it for now! I have a glanza rear bumper on the way! So I have a few things to save up for so I don't think there'll be much happening the rest of this year, but plans for early next year will be custom exhaust system to fit the Backbox I have, paint the glanza bumper, alarm system and new tyres as these ones are too big!

  9. Yeh but I think all this stuff was the last to go- he held off posting things as they sold and posted them all as a oner then got the same thread locked. Now isnt replying to anyone and hasn't been back on since. At the end of the day 4 of us have received damaged goods because of poor packaging. He should be accountable for that

    Yeah I agree the fact it's happened to 4 people it's too coincidental. Shame people do this to fellow enthusiasts

  10. It's so strange because as said mine was all fine and packaged up great tbh! And I even told him I was sending the payment as goods rather than gift and he approved and agreed that's the best way to go! This is an odd situation

  11. Doesnt look like ep82 or ep91 fitment at all mate

    It's come off of an imported glanza, it looks like it will fit but obviously not to the stock system, so a custom job will be on the cards!

    That looks like an Apexi N1 back box I had the full system on my old V. The weld detail looks exactly the same too

    You're right it does look pretty similar! Only difference being the jasma tag is rotated but I can imagine that means nothing!

    Thanks for the help everyone and I'll have a look for that link whitenoize!
