mplavery Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi ppl I just would like your thoughts on what i could do next with my car exterior wise..Was thinking of changing the wheels but im not sure.also maybe i TRD bonnet and spoiler maybe. Im hoping to change the lights to the Abflug copy lens which suprattgaz is doing...Every1 supra seems to be nicer then mine..lol also if any1 can do photoshop of what they think, that would be great... thanks for your time ppl...cheers here some pics of it so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 FMIC or SMIC? If its a FMIC it move the number plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Looks wise I'd suggest to get the lights sorted. Facelifted or the mega bucks Abflug ones will really transform it. Those wind deflectors look pants too (though perform a function if you smoke ) Get rid of the number plate, thats a very bad position to put it! Other than that, it looks fine, time to do what these cars are made for and make it perform well. Get a FULL service and get those suspension and brake components working as good as new Maybe a few opportunities to upgrade (be careful, aftermarket doesn't mean better ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before modding you should get a C service done, this is incredibly time consuming and any garage taking less than 6-8 hours doing one hasn't done it properly. It includes a re-shim, many seal repalcements, all fluids swapped and numerous other items. I think there are over 100 checks/mandatory replacements on the Toyota service sheet. To this day I have NEVER known a garage do a full service to the letter of the service manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a hell of a lot more than that mate, take a look at the service list for a C and you'll see what I mean For example one basic one missing from your list is the fuel filter.

Supragaz Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 was thinking of these wheels...mmmmm [qimg]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/mplavery/Jaero20Ruff20GM.jpg[/qimg] Loving those wheels, they will transform the look of your already good looking supra. I do think that wheels like that should have the Larger Uk spec brakes behind them to complete the look. Also, I agree that you need either the facelift lights or Ab-Flug covers to bring it up to date. You will then have a stunning supra as opposed to a very nice looking Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Looks great Mike already you just need: A pair of these (in stock ) http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9605/headlight12mk.jpghttp://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9076/headlight28wz.jpg A set of these (very good value from here ) http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/1653/dsc06404sn6.jpg http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/8073/p1020897qz3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm - think I should consider a C service next time my service is due. Could do with a cambelt change anyway so may as well go the whole way.

Cable Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I don't think there's anything wrong with the wheels you've got there mate, they look great. What are they Work Emotion CR's? I'd go with the headlight change and TRD spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
