Great work on this Jase and brilliant attention to detail. I really like the colour. Coming together nicely.

Gutted your so far away

Hello, clearly a great dad looking into doing this for your son, Would make a brilliant gift, Have you tried phoning Toyota parts to see if there still available to buy new from Toyota you would just need to give them the registration of the car to check? I'm not sure if there discontinued or not. Failing that im not sure how likely it is you would find a second Hand set that wouldn't need painted to bring upto standard.

I wouldn't be very happy with them advising that painting would be better after you told them about them loosing air, I worked as a alloy wheel technician for some years and that advice he gave is just not acceptable, He would probably of advised painting as he would of made more money from it rather than taking them else where for powder coating. I would not accept paying what you did for the wheels while there loosing Air after you told him about the issue, I would keep at them untill they manage to seal the alloys or get them properly rubbed back on the inside and painted or powder coated. My advice for anyone who has old wheels with any corrosion would be to get them powder coated as painting wheels is really just a quick fix and only really appropriate if its a new wheel with small curbing. Unless your acid dipping and shot blasting the wheel before its painted.

The chances are there a bit corroded on the inside of the alloys with the age of the wheels now I had this issue with a set of mine I had them powder coated which solved the problem, when there painted the chances are its just the faces that have been done, you may need to give the inside where the tyre seals the alloy a bit of a rub down and some tyre seal when fitting.

There certainly on a far more deserving starlet now, looking really good.

Your wheels are looking good, Did you get them powder coated or painted?

Good find burty, I saw thease on the salmon pink starlet on ebay is that where you got them? There is a standerd starlet with optional fog lights on ebay however ones pretty smashed up.

Cheers how much are you looking for them?

I'm needing the two metal brackets that hold the stero and din blanking plate in place for a ep91 They cannot be from a solida model starlet as they are different. Thanks Dale

Previous ones I have seen in the past have sold between £50 and £100, I think you would struggle to get any more than that. But as allready said sometimes people will add starlet tax and they don't come up often so you never know what someone thats desperate will pay.

Brilliant to see another SR getting attention , it will be nice to see her decals back on! Great work.
