DaveyDemolition Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hello, My name is Dave and im new to this site, but i cant wait to start speaking to people about their starlets because i love them so much. I haven't done alot to my car but everything ive done i've done myself, most of the time i didnt have a clue what i was doing but i just learned as i went along, and hopefully this site will allow me to continue in modifying my car how i've always wanted it, ill get some pictures up of it soon.Thanks!

DaveyDemolition Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Most of My pictures are all old, i have done quite a bit since the photos, i have added some wind deflectors to it, i've put a air filter on it, fitted the 6:9's myself and just a few other things to make it look nice, but i have alot of things in mind that i want to do to it like black wheels, i want to take the sportif door trims off but ive taken a little bit off and theres horrible sticky stuff underneath that i have no idea how to get rid of..And i want to get some square number plates for it, but at the moment i just want to know what people think of it, and what they think i should do, i polished and waxed it on the weekend though and took a few pictures of it in the sun, so i shall get them up soon because it looks alot better there.

DaveyDemolition Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yeah we're a good bunch on here, or at least I hope so Ahah yeah ive just come on here for the advice more than anything, got so many questions that need answering! I've seen a few pictures of your starlet, very nice indeed! I really want to get some new alloys for my car, i hate 3 spoke on a car it makes it look so small, and i want to tint my back windows and get rid of the door trims and a few of the stickers on the car. just a few things like that i think it will make it look much nicer.

Amjad Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Thanks dude! I find the 3 spokes quite cute hahaYeah removing bump strips and tidying it up makes a big difference! If you need help try searching for it first, pretty much every question will have been asked Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you need help try searching for it first, pretty much every question will have been asked ahah i dont find them cute i want some alloys for it but have hardly any money, so just looking around for a cheap set somewhere that i can spray hopefully, and yeah alot of questions have been answered just by looking around on here, i just like doing everything myself and learning, like i fitted my 6:9's myself and my air filter etc i know its not a hard job but its just nice to know i did it myself, same with my air filter and a few other things, but yeah i cant wait to get it looking nice, not sure what to do about my spoiler now though, the sticker bombing has faded already and looks really tacy! and i want to take my door trims off but im scared it wont look good underneath, i took a bit of it off and theres really thick sticky stuff underneath thats impossible to get off, ive tried everything.

Amjad Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yeah I started out on small things like that, you do feel quite proud haha That's just glue, use a hairdryer to slowly take the strips off, then use bug/tar remover and the hairdryer and your fingernail to get the glue off, ten wash and tcut!Some people use a toffee wheel on a drill to get the glue off but it can leave marks of you're not careful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
