ConnorLake Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I am on the prowl out for a white starlet sr.I am new to the whole jap/starlet sceneI 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'sor advise to make them look smart!! oh and sorry if this is in wrong sectionCheersConnor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hill_bill10 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorLake Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 whitebut a cheap white sr has come up so if it comes to it...I NEED PICS OF WHITE SR's pleasehave tryed the search function but my macbook is not liking it right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LukeSR Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 SR's r wikidCheck 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 stealthLook at DubSevens sportif thats like stealth to the N'th digree Its proper wikidBut 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 1.3Its 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... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CRAIG-SR Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorLake Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have to admit , i love the look of the srand for now i am deffo goin to keep it sr lookingjust lowered and a few bits on iti 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 srand 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 adviseand i will keep you updated on what happens!!!!

Curtis Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ConnorLake Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 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 itsleeper ftw :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
