fizzle Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 i don't think it will mate, they are a pretty snug fit with stock kit on, i have a bomex front and it doesn't quite cover that, so would deffo say it won't cover a trd widebody!

Jellybean Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 JamieP has it on his Widebody so this is what has sparked the curiosity So far we got a quote of £239.12 (Price in Euros € 284.16) including VAT 20%, so no harm in trying based on Jamie's pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 If you have a TRD spoiler, not a chance as my stock bodied Supra only just fits on with the TRD spoiler, also, I very much doubt it would fit over the front bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Jamies looks really snug. I thought mine was a good fit and I would be amazed if you can squeeze a car in there that is 6" wider? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've just spoke to a guy at Hamilton Classic Ltd http://www.hamiltonclassic.co.uk He recomended not having a cover thats a tight fit or with pockets for the mirrors, said its much better having air gaps around the car. He thinks one of their outdoor covers could fit but their down in Hampshire (Reading) their covers £160 for a non tailored outdoor type but if you wanted fully tailored to fit then around £250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I still say no chance of it fitting, that picture of mine dont show the complete story either, it wont cover my stock front bumper unless it rides up at the back, and its also pulled right down on the side you can see to protect the wheels from where Lee is working, the other side it rides right up the wheels.

liam1 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 agree with jamie on this, my cover doesnt fit my brothers supra his is stock apart from the rear trd spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
