Sr Starlets

[ConnorLake]

I am on the prowl out for a white starlet sr.

I am new to the whole jap/starlet scene

I was just wondering whats the best way to get a sr looking smart?

Glanza rep, or is that frowned upon to ruin an sr!?

Just need some inspiration(pics of one done) of nice looking sr's

or advise to make them look smart!!

oh and sorry if this is in wrong section

Cheers

Connor

my personal opinion on sr's is keep them lookin as standard as possible. i love the style of the sr looks schweet plus every fucker just wacks a glanza front end on its so common.

or you could make it look like my sr and cover it in castrol stickers haha

Some people seem to make a fuss over SR's and I really don't understand why. Ok they have a few nice extras but I personally they're very over hyped.

This is how I look at it with some of the parts the SR comes with compared to just buying a different model of N/A Starlet:

Lowering springs - most people change these anyway and I think most would prefer a 40mm drop rather than the SR's 25mm.

Exhaust - yes the exhaust on these is nice and probably the only part I'd really keep, but alot of people change exhausts anyway.

Alloys - nothing wrong with these at all but again you'd just buy them anyway.

There's a few other things but you get the point, people seem to price SR's alot higher than other Starlets that are essentially the same. Unless you're really fussy and *must* have an SR then don't turn away from other Starlets.

Not to mention SR's seem to be alot more expensive.

Nothing wrong with Glanza replicas, there was a non turbo version of the Glanza anyway so it's not as if you'd be trying to "look" fast.

Yer i dont really mind the 'look' of an sr,

but in my opinion its not quite as sexy as a glanza,

Mite be worth me trying to find a 'sportif' in white

but a cheap white sr has come up so if it comes to it...

I NEED PICS OF WHITE SR's please

have tryed the search function but my macbook is not liking it right now

[Guest cheshireglanza]

get some pics off your car up dude

[Curtis]

this is a pic of the misses sr

you will be very lucky to find a sr with the original spec on it still

9 time out of 10 it won't have the tte backbox and the tte springs will be nearly fucked

emailed the guy waiting for response on that one, cheers for heads up though

[LukeSR]

Love SR's in all colours, mine is pretty much standard except K&N air filter + non-branded exhaust (Not TTE) (Oh and Glanza seats)

[JAG]

SR's r wikid

Check out my old 1 if you fancy it (Click the link in my sig)

In my opinion get 1 and mod it as an SR, then get a Glanza or GT

Unless you intend to turbo it like Chanelle or any of the other turbo'd N/A's

But then you could also keep it with SR looks and play it stealth

Look at DubSevens sportif thats like stealth to the N'th digree

Its proper wikid

But in my own opinion throwing loads of money at an N/A to give it glanza looks is going to eat money and you'll still be driving a 1.3

Its like pikeys modifying a 1.2 corsa or some piece of shit like that so it looks like a space ship...

It might look uber shit or uber wikid 2 a chavy lil bastard but its still going to be eaten for breakfast by everyone and their mum...

[Galliano]

Glanza kits are overplayed, unless you bought a tropicana one, and put the glanza kit on that. That is a colour that Glanza's didn't come in, which means that would be pretty unique. Same said for Coral Wreath, Carribean Blue and Both dark greens (Liam's N/A for example.)

I say keep it as standard as possible, with a few nice touches. Small = big these days

[Sparky]

I agree with Ste if your gonna mod it you may aswell buy a Sportif or something

Because the obvious mods that you would probably do is lower it, wheels, exhaust anyway.

SR's should stay as stock as possible just rally slagged a bit more

jag i have to disagree! I've always wanted a glanza or GT and i hate corsa's ect! the only other car i would consider owning that i could get insured on is a polo but i wanted a jap car so i bought a starlet and decided to spend my hard earned money into making it a glanza rep i could get insured on.

i bought my SR because it was cheap and was everything i wanted!

if your going for a glanza rep best thing i would say is to find any starlet as your going to change everything anyways end of the day its your choice

Agree with you mate.

I bought mine when i was 17, always wanted a SR and i got one then i wanted it to look like a glanza after year and half and i couldnt get insured on a glanza so what the fuck i am doing a rep, Going all the way with it i.e full recaro interior, glanza kit then the 4efte. All a wanted is a little project.

Dont care what people say my choice end of the day

[ConnorLake]

I have to admit , i love the look of the sr

and for now i am deffo goin to keep it sr looking

just lowered and a few bits on it

i would LOVE a remix bumper as they look the nads on a sr but i dont think it would happen.

to be honest i think if i wanted to glanza rep i would sell the sr to someone who wanted a sr

and either rep a gls or sportif, or just keep the sr for longer and buy a glanza!!!

Only reason i wanted to rep it was due to not being able to afford the insurance on

a glanza but wanting the looks of one!!

i think i will just wait for the real deal this time and wait till i can afford a real one

Thanks all for the advise

and i will keep you updated on what happens!!!!

[Curtis]

yeah thats me mate

it all depends where you see yourself in a few years time, if you want to just keep it whilst your nova is being sorted then just do a few mods. If your planning on keeping it as a project or daily driver then why not glanza rep it, you always have the option to fte it too, your brother could always do the conversion for you

[ConnorLake]

well the sr is out of the window so i am going to get a sportif and

glanza rep it, or just leave it standard and efte it

sleeper ftw :)

[chanelle1234]

hey connor

i think i have seen you a few times round witham when i had my pink wheels on and without the vinyls. Your car looks stunning in the flesh by the way

Good to see you going jap. if your planning on doing a glanza rep be prepared to spend like £500+ for all the pannels

When you get your new car make sure to start a build thread

Yes chanelle,

Yer my car is coming off the road to have a decent engine fitted

and also be fully waxoiled to preserve it as much as i can

Oh Your car looked schweeet when i saw it last

Cant believe how much it has changed in such a short time

Done a real good job

I need to get a starlet sportif in the most poverty spec possible

and put a 4efte in it,

Solves the problem with the money with the panels now

But seriously if i get some money i prob will glanza rep it!!

So expect me asking you for advise

[Nanglebadger]

@sam - coral wreath???????????????????????????? heh??? is thi one I've missed??

Phil.

[Sparky]

Think he means Tropicana?? Caribbean CANNOT be done again!!! I repeat CANNOT!!!!!!

[ConnorLake]

Dont worry Sparky i wont be doin a 'Carribean' Glanza

It will be (if i ever pull my finger out of my ass) an original glanza colour

most probs white (saves hassle of spraying) (and yes i am that lazy )
