listy Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 In the middle of re-painting the dash right now Primer is down and the first two coats of paint are on. I'm going to see how it is once fully cured, then decide if it needs any more. I've gone for a matte white, to closer match the new white leather touches on the interior. Excuse the picture, it was taken with the iPad. More pictures of the new look interior to come later today (if it's all back in whilst light out) or tomorrow.

listy Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) As promised, more pictures of the interior as it is now. Dash now painted and back in too. Looks much better, and the red panel is GONE Edited October 30, 2013 by listy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Braver than I for going with white interior parts! Looks good though! Definitely an improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Well, yet another problem has arisen The return feed hose for the PS (pump to resevoir) decided to split Luckily, today while digging around in the garage, I found a bit of reinforced hosing that just so happened to be a perfect fit and also have plenty of PS Fluid in the garage (I like to keep stock of every service fluid, just in case ) Problem sorted, for now, until I get a new bit of reinforced hose that's supposed to go there..

listy Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Small update to the interior. Today I got rid of the nasty stupidly bright blue boost gauge and replaced it with a Prosport one with red lighting to match the rest of the dash. Looks much better, and doesn't blind me at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Time for a change of pace. Now after a Ridox or doluck bumper, and a half carbon TRD spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Well, the APR wing has been sold. A doluck bumper has been ordered. Stock bonnet has been fitted. Once the bumper arrives, the Supra will go in for paint. That then just leaves a TRD spoiler to finish off the new look. It's going to be a lot different to what it was, but after 2 years of it being all track styled, it's time to grow up and go with a bit more class. Watch this space for pics and updates as and when they happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 will be watching this closely, have to say i loved the look of it previously but sure the new look will be good to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Just got off the blower to the paint shop. To paint the bonnet and new doluck bumper will cost me £250. If I'm honest, that's cheaper than I expected so as soon as the bumper turns up (should be some time next week) it will get test fitted, then dropped off for paint next weekend, ready to be collected when I get back from being away for 2 weeks with work.

DodgyRog Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 That's a cracking price for the spray work Jon Will be a bit odd seeing your Supra not all Track lairy I am not a big fan of the BGW, as you know, but your Supra pulled it off well and thought the way you lowered it would work well, although I never got to see it in person, the only down side to it I guess was no rear vision lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from KnightRacer. They have new moulds etc now, and I have heard their stuff is very good fitment these days. Pics of initial fitment will be posted in this thread from the test fit. It's looking like the TRD wing will be coming from KR too, as they are the best value UK supplier I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 TRD spoiler now ordered!!!! That's the last piece if the puzzle sourced. It should arrive end of next week, while I'm away, but my paint guy should be able to collect it from my place (he has to go past to get to the shop) and get it painted and fitted along with the rest of the bits. I'm all excited now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Oh dear KR The bumper turned up today, and when I unwrapped it, well what can I say? In the advert it states "100% improved fitment and quality guaranteed" So the problems: 1. The bumper had a crack in it, in a place I don't think it would have happened during transit. 2. The corner where it meets the wheel arch was broken (probable done during transit) 3. Pitting EVERYWHERE! 4. Lumps of unsanded frp 5. Very thin in places (you could see light coming through!) 6. Apparently comes in a white gloss gel coat finish.....it was still covered in dust from the fibreglass mould, and rough to touch. 7. No fixings, ie. No threaded holes, no fixed mounting bolts, in fact, not even any holes drilled for mounting at all. Anywhere. Not impressed. However, a quick call to Albert, and I'm getting a full refund and it's being collected at their cost tomorrow. I've found another that can be delivered by the end of the week, so unless I find one on the forum today, I'll be ordering that to keep on schedule.

Kaan W Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I got my DoLuck bumper from eBay, fitment is perfect do you want me to try find the seller again mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yes please mate. I've found one that can deliver by the weekend, but I'm a bit wary now If it turned out to be the same seller, it would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm just looking through I can't for the life of me remember the name of the company. I might be able to check my PayPal or eBay feedback but no promises mate as it was months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
