BJShipley Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So I've got a few plans for the Glanza. Just wanting a few of your guys opinions here's what I'm thinking currently. Okay so, first off the front end. Seeing as all the Glanza is currently on a full Livesports kit and then a standard 98 spec bumper it doesn't look right. It looks silly being a inch or so higher than the rest of it and looks so high and out of place to the rest of the kit. So I was thinking of getting a Varis Bumper or just getting a Livesports splitter from japan? The problem is I've been told the Splitter's are really low on the road? Passenger side wind deflector seeing as it's missing just looks silly without it..Was also thinking about getting a Carbon bonnet? Current one is stone chipped to buggery and think the Carbon would look mean on it? Next I'm thinking some new alloys. Rota grid V's was my first choice but heard they rub unless rolled arches but as I have over fenders that's not going to be an option. Will the Rota drifts be the same? Will these rub? I'm currently on Ray/Volk TE37 Replicas 16x6.5 and is why I want to change them. Suspension currently on Apexi Springs feels a little to low but handles pretty well on the road. Was thinking coilies but which make? MeisterR? BC's? Any other suggestions welcome please let me know! Here's a few pics if you haven't seen already. Drivers side Passenger Side Rear Interior Current Alloys Front And then lastly the Engine bay Cheers guys, Bret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Get a live sports front bumper to complete the kit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Agreed, That would finish it off nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Theres a genuine one in the F/S section.Full Livesports Glanzas look fantastic !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sefton-EP91 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I would look at a livesport front splitter rather than a bumper. They look a lot better. Your choice though mate either way it's a very nice car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJShipley Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Im not sure about the live sports bumper it's nice and then it's horrible at the same time. And it reminds me a bit of max power lol :/ Although the splitter was my second choice. I was looking at the live sports type b splitter. But I still think the varis bumper would look awesome? :/ What about the other parts of the car? Bret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jap91 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Lovely v mate.. Sell me that rear lip lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bret.It's your car bud but keeping the live sports kit would be immense try source a splitter if you can, don't do a mix match of kits like most glanzas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Stock colour petrol flap with some new headlights imo ditch the bathroom carpet and dildo gear knob go for the full same body kit can't go wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Aye full kitted Starlets look far better than mix match ones imo. But its your motor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Stock colour petrol flap with some new headlights imo ditch the bathroom carpet and dildo gear knob go for the full same body kit can't go wrong This.. Stock fuel cap, normal gear knob.. Needs to be a little lower too imo and livesports front bumper. I'm not keen but with that full kit it could look top Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Gorjus glanza mate.i think leave as is.i like what u have done with the rear.ure manifold looks ceramic coated ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet-Joshy Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Looks great mate! defo needs a bigger bumper like a varis or livesports! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJShipley Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I might end up getting both Livesports and Varis bumpers. That way I can decide which I prefer and then sell the other. I'm just worried that the livesports bumper is going to be too low? :/ I don't know about lower Matt! I about break my teeth when I drive over a flaming leaf! Lol :') I only carbon wrapped the petrol flap as It was dipped when I very first got it. Well I'll just show you what it looked like when I first got it home. Pink camo dipped like the rocker cover was Bonnet scoop, Bonnet/bumper grill, Centre console, inside door handles, electric window surrounds, Dash surround, filler cap and even the air vents! So all got sprayed Matt black other than the rocker cover lol. Also ripped all the stickers off other than the UKSO ones New headlights I've been thinking about as the current ones are all hazed over and left a sticker imprint of the sticker I took off as you can see in the photo above. Only reason the dildo gear stick is in the car is because the bloke who put seats in must have put them on standard rails and the seats are so high. I have a normal gear nob but its too small and knock your hand on the passenger seat. Going to sort the seats out soon and lower them down so they sit properly. I thought about removing the carpet and everything but It kinda grew on me after a while. But If I did do that I think I'd source some green takata harness and then put a cage in it. So Livesports bumper/Varis bumper. What alloys should I go for and what coilies? And what do people think about the carbon bonnet? Ditch that Idea and go standard coloured scoop or wait for the carbon scoop? Which Is hopefully still being created? Cheers guys, Bret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The Varis bumper has been done to death so id go with the Livesports, especially if the rest of the car is Livesports. To completely finish the kit i think all youd need is the eyebrows and reverse scoop. They did do tail light covers but that might be going too far lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJShipley Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'll have to get some eyebrows when I get the Livesports bumper/splitter as I don't know I will like them. :/ Yeah I do agree the livesports is a little different and I suppose it would be a shame to have a full kit then a different bumper. Gotta say though the Varis bumpers are pretty sexy. Bret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iamlegend Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 varis front end is just every where! also its not the best look... imo 100% finish the kit of with the livesports bumper simples Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Get the bloody livesports!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yeh don't go varis, its more common than the standard bumpers! I ditched my TOMS bumper because it looked very max power, but I quite like the livesports one. Your choice though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Or there is option, ZEP / Livesports Type 2http://www.rhdjapan.com/zep-racing-front-bumper-lip-spoiler-set-toyota-ep91.htmlIf you are feeling rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJShipley Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Someone local messaged me saying he has a Livesports front lip. So gonna see what happens with that firstly. Anyone know if the wheels are going to rub If I go for Rota Grid Drifts? Been thinking I had a bit of a day dream whilst at work earlier and I had an Idea about stripping all the interior out and putting a cage in. Swapping my sparco bucket seats for some bride bucket seats and then buying some fabric for the door cards and recover them in matching bride fabric. Also buy the matching floor mats. Getting some Takata harness's instead of the Luke ones. And perhaps somehow changing the dull grey plastic interior but not sure what or how to do it. Bret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BJShipley Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 That looks sweet! ^ But I suppose that idea's now out the window now though lol! :') Bret Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJShipley Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 So I guess I should update it's been a while! Firstly I finally got my Passenger Wind deflector from Aamir and also got a Laguna splitter too. Thanks again Aamir. So the wind deflector should be going on very soon just waiting to get some double sided tape as I didn't feel the clips would hold it alone. The laguna splitter should be going on soon. Although I've just sourced a Livesports splitter which has been molded into a bumper! So hopefully will be receiving that and having it resprayed 1ao! Got a lot planned for this but gotta save some pennies up I reckon! LolFew photos when I was messing about the other day hope you guys like! Much more to come soon! Bret.
