    Print this pic and take it to them just to make sure there are no extras you need.

  3. Orange Side indicators, very JDM, but not to every bodies tastes, certainly not mine. I have opted instead to change mine to the clear indicators from the Corolla and even the top of the range Starlet, here's how to do it:

    Here's the before picture, horribly standard:

    To remove this you have to hold both ends and simply pull it at an angle using your fingers as a pivot, they could be facing either way:

    The indicator will then be exposed like this, hold it from behind on the black bit and twist the indicator clockwise to make it come off:

    This exposes the clear bulb, grasp the top of thos and pull towards you and it will come out:

    Then you can choose to use an orange or Silvatec bulb for your new clear indicators, the Silvatec bulb is not as obvious behind the indicaotr cover but still shines silver. You then have to reverse the removal process using your new clear indicator cover:

    Here is the orange one:

    and here is the Silvatec one:

    Got to say the car looks better already. Parts number is available form any Toyota dealer or point to them on a Verso or any other car in the showrooms if the guy scratches his head.

  4. Ok so you are sick of those ugly old mirrors sat out there on storks and want something different, well how about keeping it Toyota and sourcing some mirrors from the Glanza (unsure if they are still available new so maybe second hand). Then here is how you fit them.

    Slide your hand in behind the trim and pull off this garnish piece:

    This will reveal these three nuts, get a spanner and undo these, holding the mirror so that it does not drop on the floor, then slide outwards to release it from the door:

    Now slide your electric Glanza mirror in to position using the same holes and the electrical connection through the centre hole, this used to be for the manual adjuster, but not anymore. Not forgetting to hold the mirrors while you retighten the nuts:

    You need to find the connector now for the mirrors, which for me was already in the door loom (SR model), to do this remove the two phillips screws in the door handle and the trim shown here:

    Stage4.jpg

    Then pop out all of the top poppers in the door card and undo this screw at the latch end of the door:

    Stage5.jpg

    With the screws removed, grab the door handle and pull it towards the fornt of the car so it pops out, then take the trim at the top of the door and push it upwards and it will come out of the frame. Then twist this to allow the handle to slide through the hole:

    Stage6.jpg

    This will reveal this connector, which simply clicks over the one coming from the mirror assembly:

    Now reverse these steps to put the door back together, and use this garnish without a hole to cover the back of the mirrors:

    Pop out the flat panel at the right hand side of the steering wheel, this is where the

    buttons for the mirror adjustments go, it just clicks into place in this hole, you will not have the appropriate connectors for the mirrors on your standard loom, you would need the Glanza one. But is it really so hard to push the glass in to the position you want it? Get a 4EFTE conversion and you will have your connectors:

    Now close the door step back and admire your new mirrors, don't forget the other side:
