Mk4Gaz Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 As the title, been trying to decide how to finish the exterior styling of the supra, and settled on a trial rear. I love the look of the integrated diffuser. Bought it from eBay, expecting it to be crap. Was listed as 'perfect fitting', and to be honest, it wasn't far off. Needed a slight trim here and there, but only took an hour. The pics are as it arrived, before trimming, and it virtually bolted straight on. Got it primed yesterday, so flatted it off and shot the red base and lacquer today. Coming on real nice so far. Going to give it a couple of days, then mask it and paint the diffuser section in satin black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 i take it you know about the brackets people make up when fitting these, have a search if you dont mate, have been some scary issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I haven't, but I guess its to do with the underside, where the diffuser tucks over the fuel tank? If so, I've already thought about making some brackets to bolt it in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 As above, I made brackets on mine for either side of the exhaust as the diffuser part can flap about and hand down or worse catch the wind and come off altogether.

Samsar Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 When my car was red the diffuser was black but now I've had it sprayed all one colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]176068[/ATTACH][ATTACH]176069[/ATTACH] They do both look really good but I still prefer the colour/black combo as it just breaks it up that bit more. Is that Rsp?

Benjy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I've got a nice Trial rear bumper too. At some stage Graham, you can watch it all the way to Bluewater and back! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Was it painted in cellulose or 2k? Cellulose lacquer can fade/yellow in uv, so that could explain the discolouration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Love the Trial rear, will probably pick one up myself later down the line, big fan of the black diffuser with a colour combo, it should look awesome. Did you buy this off a random on ebay or was this one of the Knight Racer ones? As I know they sell on ebay too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I've already thought about making some brackets to bolt it in place Gaz, when you are making a set of brackets, do you think you could make a extra? And I pay you for it?
