RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Sorry about the pic quality but just a few upto date pics! Genuine UK bonnet: Black headliner and Visors, picked up for the bargain price of £19! You'll have to excuse the dirtyness of her! She aint been washed in a week or two!

RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Why do it yourself when you can pay £7 at asda and to be fair to them they graft for that £7 quid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 thats a bargain for the headliner! cars paint seems a nice deep red too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 I was worrying about the colour match when i picked it up, I had the car machine polished a couple of months ago, so was worrying about the colour being abit miss matched, especially being red, but it matches up well!

RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you watch them they'll do a better job! They have jet washes aswell! They do use alot of spray on the tyres though! I do have a mate that is a mobile car valeter but he is about as reliable as a 3 legged pony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Uk brakes are on the list but I will be waiting until the TT engine gets put in and fit them at the same time as the j-specs have alot off meat left on the still, so can really see the point in changing them until the engine is in! Next thing in january will be a full geo setup, then it will be the big save for the TT conversion and uk brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Rob, she is looking great! Love the bonnet! Remember we was talking about the headlining? Well I couldn't remember what colour mine was, so first thing at 7am I went & had a look! Its grey, but it is in mint condition and it matches my car so its alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Uk bonnet is great, Black headlining is also very nice. OEM skirts and spats next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oem skirts and spats will be put on when I finally settle on a colour and she goes in for a respray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Nice car. I reckon UK brakes then facelift lights all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Its a choice of 3 colours, The black the supra's come in ( if anyone knows the colour and code can they let me know please ) Ixion blue that the Auris's come in or Ice blue the Yaris's come in! I know the Ice blue has been done on a supra before ( Seifer's - one of my favourites) so dont really want to copy but the Ixion blue is a close match! I want to add a few additional carbon bits like a rear diffuser like jevansio's or JamieP's, so I reckon the blue would pull this off better but everytime I see a black supra I change my mind again! Also like the look of white supra's when they're a clean example with facelift lights all round! If I can't make my mind up then i'm just going to put the colours and codes for them on a bit of paper and let the sprayer decide what to go for! I'm still undecided whether to get the front bumper and active front lip also, In a couple of years i want to go single so I will need to take off the active front mechanism to put in a intercooler, with the speed bumps around my way theres no way I could keep the active front lip down all the time so I may have to change the front around!

JamesC Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 The Supra black is Astral Black 202. The Grigio Avlon from the Lambo is lovely on a Supra too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 My boot strut hinges are already in that colour! Bought a set off sean1933 after he crashed his single that was painted in that! Does look a lovely colour! Thanks for the code mate, had a feeling it was called astral black but wasnt 100% sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I like the hood, but i also think the wheels are stylin I think some sort of skirt would look cool. If you need UK shocks for the TT, i have a spare set (anded up putting Hodges Jap one's on m,ine in the end) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks bud but i've put some Teins on her that I got from Keron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Really starting to come together now, a massive improvement since you got hold of the car PS removing the orange blobs would be my next low cost/big improvement mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 They'll be changed in the near future! Facelift lights are on the list but i'm more heading towards my TT conversion now! If a set of facelift headlamps and indicators come up cheap then I shall get them! Although if Blueangel gets the go ahead to be a hobbyist then I shall opt for a set of carbon lights and facelift indicators! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
