Morning All,

Just had an update with manufacturing all great news, all the fenders are moulded and had an initial quick trim.

The final stages are now polishing, trimming and pre drilling. A relatively simple process left but it just takes a little time as I have ordered over 40 sets of fenders!!

They will all being shipped in a job lot so all designs EP82 / EP91 will be coming at once - I should have an anticipated shipping date later today all being well!

In the interim, here are some photo's to wet your appetite.....

Hi Craig

Yes they are currently in production and we have made some tweeks to the mould after pulling the test panels out.

As put originally we are all about quality not mass produced cheap parts - as a result it takes time to get it perfect!

As soon as I have some images of the final finished fenders I will post them up!

Regards

Simon

Evening All,

Been away on holiday for the last few weeks but wanted to update you all!

All is moving well with the fender production and moulding is complete and production has begun! We have had a few big european Evo orders to fulfil as well but this has not delayed the EP projects and all is still on track.

Here are a few pictures taken during moulding stages to keep you informed! As soon as we have a decent fender cleaned up, trimmed and out the mould I will update you further!

Hi Stevie,

Hope you are well?

Yes the cruise style fenders are in mould at the moment and then moving onto the livesports style.

I should have some pictures soon to share with you all!

I knew you were going to say that lol its a blue lexus is200

Cheers nick.

Hi Si

My glanza has some pretty rough sun damage where the lacquer has gone cloudy just above the rear quarter windows. Is there anything I can do to at least make it look a little nicer until funds allow a respray? It's 205 black.

Thanks

Hi!

Thanks for the post! Its hard to tell without seeing the car. Have you got some pictures which will help? If the lacquer has not "burst" I could likely machine polish it back to life for you removing the oxidation and cutting back the lacquer. Naturally I would need to very carefully measure this prior but it is deffinately a possibility dependant upon condition - saving the expensive of a respray!

Look forward to hearing from you!

Simon

Evening Si,

I'm looking to give my engine bay a good clean. I've done it before on other cars, giving it a light spray with a hose before etc.

My question is - anything I should pay particular attention to covering up on a Glanza?

Cheers.

Evening!!

Great idea and as you mentioned it is something you need to be careful with! As a rule of thumb the 2x things you need to consider are 1) electrics 2) intake.

Dependant upon the state of the wiring, cover and protect as much as you can (water / moisture can travel back up within a wire to modules / ecu etc!!) and also cover your air filter to make sure no water enters through this into the intake!

Hope this helps!

Simon

swirl marks form a car wash got a new daily and its coverd in them bearing in mind ill be doing it by hand.

cheers nick.

Hi Nick,

Not wanting to be the bearer of bad news you will find it almost impossible to remove these marks by hand. Especially if it is a german daily with tough clear coat! What you can do by hand it select a glaze suitable to the colour of your car ( I can help with this) apply and remove. What this will do is fill in the swirls and marring and help hide them. What you then need to do is seal the glaze in with a wax or a sealant to help aid longevity to your hard work. Unfortunately this wont rid your swirls or hide them completely but it will help!

Hope this helps!

As soon as a pair is moulded and produced I can get some images posted up

Evening Gents,

These should be landed in the U.K. In April which is when the remaining 50% will be due.

I should have some images over the next couple of weeks to wet your appetites!!!

Best wishes

Simon

Dear All,

Just to update you all on the ZEP style fenders.

The OE items have just arrived! We will be creating our design shortly and once done I will update you further.

These are a little behind the cruise items as we 1) ran this group buy after the cruise 2) the oe items have just arrived

Anticipated arrival will be late April!

Best wishes

Simon

Dear All,

Just a quick update for you on the cruise style fenders.

I have been on the phone with production today and it is confirmed that the moulds have been created.

Production is set for 8 pairs in CF and 2 in FRP to allow some UK stock and is estimated at 4 weeks and then shipping to the UK.

If you wish to get your name down for a pair let me know asap!

Best wishes

Simon

No worries! Any questions let me know

Simon

Hi slo7899,

I would firstly try using a tar and glue remover ( Dodo juice supernatural tar and glue is decent and not aggressive on the paint / lacquer)

Let it soak in for a minute and then gently take a clean micro fibre to it. If there is too much "material" - some adhesives are almost like a foam/fibre adhesive - use a heat source gently (you can use a hairdryer) to break down the bond and peel away the majority of the adhesive. Once the majority is off then spray the remaining glue with the dodo juice tar and glue remover and that will start to safely loosen and remove the rest!

Hope this helps and further info drop me a pm!

Thanks

Simon

Hi mate.

What would be the best method and product to use to remove the sticky adhesive stuff that is used under the wind deflectors to stick them down.

Cheers.

Hi James,

I agree, to a degree.

What we are trying to do is give something back to Starlet owners and provide parts that never have been available. After owning 7 myself starting from back in 2006 there have been alot of parts that just dont exist or are ridiculously expensive and unaffordable for owners.

Granted there is a cost to providing these items but for us its all about getting a balance between cost / demand and the financials of being able to produce these parts. Not everything is cost effective for owners but we are trying to make as many parts as widely available for everyone.. which is what I believe everyone wants..

Regards

Simon

Would love to see some more wings like on Whitestar's V

Thanks Sam, it is an interesting option, creating a cut away wing from the OE item. It is happily something we can look at if there is enough demand!

Look forward to seeing this and other developments ;-)

Great! Thank you! Stay tuned...!!

Hi Tidgey,

What's currently being moulded is dial binnacle and central dash surround! These don't have gauge holders but it is something we are looking into!

Thanks Simon

Thanks Siwfc for your input!
