Lee-Robo Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 My Glanza numberplate surround arrived today, so I set about painting it with the tin I got mixed at halfords, the colour match wasn't that great so I've decided that I'm going to take it to the bodyshop and get it done professionally I also gave the reverse lights a quick refurb and they've came up quite well! I'm currently in the process of freeing the bottom lock rings off on the coilovers , so that I can get them fitted, and I've also bought a rear strut brace, so that should be arriving in the next little while Lee.

Rich-k Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Halfords paint is useless mate a bodyshop will do a mych better match gunna be sweet when its all done Quote
Lee-Robo Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Halfords paint is useless mate a bodyshop will do a mych better match gunna be sweet when its all done Cheers mate! yeah I'm going to get it done at work in the bodyshop Quote
Lee-Robo Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 So, I got my coilovers fully freed off ready to go on the car Just need to copper grease the rears and they're sorted! I also found a little crack in the rear numberplate surround so I got that filled and primered again ready for when I get it painted at work I'm also getting some custom decals made up in the same style as the SR ones, they wont to be everyone's taste but I like being different, more updates on them once they are made up I also decided I would start on giving my wheels a refurb as they were in terrible condition and really starting to annoy me, So I got the worst one out of the way this weekend and I'm happy with the results I did it in the same gunmetal colour but with lots of fleck, I'll have to look into getting some new centre caps as the ones I've got are really worn and don't look good any more. This is the condition they were in Lee. Quote
Lee-Robo Posted August 8, 2014 Author Posted August 8, 2014 Updates! Right, so I got my import numberplate surround painted at work this week, Really pleased with it! also bought some 13 x 7 import plates as the 12 x 6 ones were really too small. My cusco rear strut brace also arrived thanks to socks! Just have to get the ends powder coated now then trim the rear plastics for it to fit properly, once that's done the rear seats will be coming out. Also a big thanks to Morgey and his mate, my custom Sportif decals arrived! I'm really pleased with them, as said before they wont be to everyone's taste but it is what it is, a sportif I got two sets made up, one for starlets with bumpstrips and ones for the starlets with them removed In case I ever remove the bump strips! which I probably will eventually! he also sent me the samples that they made up so I trial fitted them and I think they look decent on the car! Also, since I refurbed my wheels I thought I would get some new center cap stickers made up from morgey too! they look great and just finish the wheels off nicely Also done some general maintenance such as brake pads and tidied up some rust underneath.

Lee-Robo Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 This weekend I've given the the starlet a good clean up and a polish I also fitted my 13 x 7 import plates and they look a lot better. I also fitted my import rear numberplate surround!, I think it looks good, just need to get the coilovers on and the jap can exhaust to finish it off I also fitted my bonnet and tailgate sportif decals, just undecided whether to remove the bump strips or not, but we'll see.then I'll fit the side decals. Few pics Quote
Rich-k Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Looks sweet man you need to get them lows on! Quote
Lee-Robo Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 Looks sweet man you need to get them lows on! Cheers mate! yeah I know,they are my next priority, just finding the time to get them on! tidy little car mate, good progress Cheers buddy! its getting there! Quote
Lee-Robo Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 So today I removed the side bump strips, I wasn't too sure about removing them because I quite liked them but they didn't really go with the custom sportif stickers I have so they had to go.Took absolutely ages to remove all the glue! but I think it looks much better and cleaner I also got my TRD gear knob from Jamie5414 fitted as well, it looks really good and feels much better than the standard one! If all goes well, I'll hopefully be fitting my coilovers in the next couple of weeks! and hopefully fitting my sportif decals tomorrow Lee. Quote
Budnbass Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Looks good mate, did you use a Toffee wheel to get the glue off? Quote
Lee-Robo Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 Looks good mate, did you use a Toffee wheel to get the glue off? Cheers man! and nope, just some Mr sheen furniture polish and an old ice scraper card, the glue just lifted right off! 30 minutes each side maximum Quote
Budnbass Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 That's not too bad, I used a Toffee wheel and it was done in 20mins. I need to give mine a deep cut and polish now to bring the paint back to how it was Quote
Gumball89 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 Hi mate looking good quick questions just for my own car what size wheels are they 14/15? Cheers keep it up Quote
