Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hello starlet owners, I'm meechan 18 and here is my starlet, nothing too exciting yet but ideas are welcomeKeep them simple and low budget! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Welcome to UKSC! Thats a nice base you have there!Start with removing the door strips. Heat them and slowly peel off, then just clean the glue off with glue and tar remover!Then just save for some sexual Jap rims!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 does that work well?I though bout paining the wheel's white as a quick mod, also i am goin to de bage the front when i buy some spray and filler, and maybe some mesh? what do people think about this?

Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Cut the top bars out and fibreglass the holes till theyre smooth.. Then use BLACK mesh behind it. Silver looks gash!Like i did on my brothers old SR:Also, where are you from?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 yeah i thought silver might look a bit stock car, i was think i bit more a dark mesh,i am from just west of Newcastle, only see one other starlet and its a Glanza which is annoying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Lol, thats a good thing about Starlets, uniqueness! Spray the wheels Black so hide the small size of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 haha they are canny small like, the lowering helped make them look bigger but the tyres say 13" in huge writng which gives them no credit again!Black maybe, i was considering white Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well, just get some nice 15s! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 tryin for some SR wheels, thats the current thought. I'd also like a nice front end with some good old fog lights but apparently the glanza one isn't a straight fit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Nope, it's the full front end you'll need. I'm doing that conversion to my SR too.. Got all the parts nearly and they'll be fitted after the respray You can buy some smart universal fog lights though as a few other members have done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet Nath Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Welcome to UKSC mateyYou EP looks nice, looks like its a good base to start from.Hope you get everything you need from our little communityNath Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 the one in the banner is not a glanza front? what is that?I was considering some sort of DIY job featuring a lot of fibre glass and effort for a truely custom look! but then again it can't look that different!Cheers, i'd like to turn it from a base to a nice unique car for my town, everyone is in 306's saxo's and corsa's and i already like my origionality, but more origional is better for when on the move!

Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 You don't want it looking tacky with a load of fibreglass!!The one in the banner is a bumper available from Toyota, for about £110.Check out the nifty part numbers section! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 £110 aint bad, for a stylish look! would that be a straight fit yeah? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yes mate it would! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 and would toyota even paint it for me?cause if then its a total bonus, i see what you mean with the universal ones, is that what your goin for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoot Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 hiya and welcome..... i think your starlet is a reeeley cool car to mod. and good luck with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 and would toyota even paint it for me?cause if then its a total bonus, i see what you mean with the universal ones, is that what your goin for?I'm getting all the original Glanza parts, even though they're not cheap.That price is for the unpainted bumper!Add me on MSN for a good chat instead of spamming this thread! idrees-@hotmail.co.uk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 u can have my SR wheels for £200 mate - spotlessalso lovely number plate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Welcome to UKSC!!Regarding the wheels I think white would look pretty good with the green of the car.Or buy SiCaln's SR alloys (I can vouch for their perfectness ) Bear in mind if you're going for the SUV bumper (the one in the banner) that the £110 is the bumper without foglights, and the fogs at about £70 each I believe.Any questions, feel free to ask Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Welcome to UKSC mate!We all had to start somewhere and you have a nice base to work from.Hope you find the site useful and get a few ideas.Looking forward to see some progress soon.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 yeah i was thinkin it would be pricey, i might go for a splitter instead and spray it green, i hear there are many off different makes that will fit, and go for some universal F/lights.Yeah i like the number plate, would be 100% better if the N was an H, but it was my 18th birthday present so can't complain!Kent is a canny way from Newcastle how would we transfer them?

Mikey Jay Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 By Kent are you talking about the alloys?Not sure, spose would have to be a courier, but that could get uber pricey....not sure tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 yea would have to be courier mate, if u arrange it im willing to do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletmeech Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 thats pretty pricey all together to be honest, might just keep an eye out on ebay for some or the yarris SR ones, i'm guessing they will fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
