CarlT67 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just got my car back from the bodyshop this afternoon, and managed to test fit the spoiler before it got too dark (just got to move the supra badge now). Car is in desperate need for a clean, but I couldn't wait so took some low quality pics for now... http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=5 The mkiv Supra Owners Club - Post New Thread The combination is the trial rear with the abflug spoiler...I'm really happy with how its come out....! http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08035/reartrial135.jpg http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08035/sidereartrial835.jpg http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08035/sidetrial202.png http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08035/sidetrial2194.jpg Ps Will the supra badge just come off with a hairdryer and will it leave a mark behind or any holes...?

Guigsy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 lo0oking good. i would have had the wiper rimoved though. it sticks out a lot when you dont have a spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 looking good. i think there are a couple of holes behind the supra badge. you should take the toyota badge off too if your going to respray the boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couv3z Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 you got spat blended in as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 you got spat blended in as well? No its just bonded on real well....! The bumper took a lot of work between coming form Knight-racer to being fitted. It was a real state when it came through which the guys at the bodyshop really weren't happy about. But after about 2 weeks of having the bumper and one of those weeks with the car, they managed to work it to something that looked like a bumper and that fitted rather well... no thanks to knightracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Any piccies of your Abflug spoiler? Like your sideskirts and rear btw. Ok you mean rear spoiler...I'm a donkey! I was thinking of the front end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 my trial rear got dammaged (this time going to knight racer) i dont think they are easy things to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 my trial rear got dammaged (this time going to knight racer) i dont think they are easy things to ship Wasn't just shipping damage through, the fiberglass was thick in places and very thin in others, same story with the gel coat. The bumper had been filled in places and the gel coat was cracking off, there were cracks, splits and stretch marks on areas near corners. And the areas around the lights looked like they had been removed and cut form the mold with a wood saw.... I was just expecting a little more for £395 plus postage... However the guys at knightracer where real nice and good to deal with when the bumper was late to arrive, most helpful, its just a shame that the quality of the bumper wasn't as good as there helpful service...

Guest Nicholas Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 theres no holes behind the supra badge, use dental floss and work your way across the badge and it will come off without leaving a mass of sticky mess behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 out of interest as your close to me which bodyshop are you using? I use StreamLine Coach works right by gatwick airport. He done some repairs on my gf's car and the quality was excellent at a real good price. Its a small business just two guys working there, pleasant experience and I felt more than happy to leave my car there.

TrickTT Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 theres no holes behind the supra badge, use dental floss and work your way across the badge and it will come off without leaving a mass of sticky mess behind. There was holes behind my toyota badge which had to be welded and filled before they painted the tailgate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 So lets clear this up.... Are there any holes behind the 'supra' badge (not the Toyota emblem) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 So lets clear this up.... Are there any holes behind the 'supra' badge (not the Toyota emblem) I dont believe so... Looks good with the abflug, hopefully it was easier to fit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 No holes behind the badge, but you may get glue residue and depending on how your supra was stored / parked you may have some different paintwork match underneath the logo.

CarlT67 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 I dont believe so... Looks good with the abflug, hopefully it was easier to fit!! Yea the abflug was pretty straight forward, had to elongate the boot holes a bit to make it sit central perfectly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BLUE Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Nice spoiler and bodywork mate! Colsoop is right - Toyota emblem has holes - Toyota badge doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
