TheTurtleshead Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Where did you get those mats mate? Dear? Do they have the hole for the carpet clip on the drivers side? They look like they fit well and I'm after a set... I know Dane's fit well but I'm not paying £110 for a set of car mats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_sri Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 not a chance in hell those plates are legally spaced, also domed letters are a big no no too as they are import plates they can have 64mm letters like these, do not require grouping and only need 10mm between letters.. domed letters are perfectly legal providing they meet all the other criteria such as font and must be plain black no patterns etc.. Where did you get those mats mate? Dear? Do they have the hole for the carpet clip on the drivers side? They look like they fit well and I'm after a set...

I brought the same mats for my Avensis, really good quality!! Doubt she would believe it for a minute! They are very enjoyable to work on and like you say their is always something to do. One of the reasons I love the Supra ownership, it isn't "just a car" it is an actually hobby you can enjoy. I don't think anyone has ever built a Supra and just gone, yeah that's finish...

Rich.2211 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think it's looking really good. I'm looking at purchasing a DA to have a go at detailing mine in the very near future and then get some protection on it for winter. Ideal world to make it 100% mine would need a respray as well, the roof is stone chipped I think and it seems to happen to all the black ones I've seen. You need to get yourself to a meet soon! I'll take you for a go in mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_sri Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Cheers mate I really need to get a decent DA too been saying this for ages but always seems to come second to other bits! jus be careful as the paint gets hot quick and really thin if it's anything like mine.. Get someone to go over with a paint depth gauge first before you start cutting back Whenever the next meet is I should be there..! Il take you up on that offer though really want to see how yours goes! Although it will definitely make me want to start the engine build ASAP lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
