I got the induction kit and pipe all for £25 off here, from natony when he was breaking his supra no idea where he got it from though bud. I've got plast-x and had been using it up until the last time, when I tried wetsanding then a machine buff with 3g and finally a coat of wax, they looked amazing but yellowed again within four or five months Think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and have a go at fitting the clear lenses.

eh...no thanks Andy your's doesn't need it anyway! Ta pistonbroke, busting to see what yours turns out like bud. Maybe not a bad thing Jay, a respray of your inners will tie in with the murdered out look.

You've been busy Jay, very nice mate good to see someone trying something different. Brackets are a good job. I love your motor! Did I miss what they came from? Are they off a Mkiii?

Ta all! Sealed the lights up with normal (black) silicone from homebase H, I've used it before and it wasn't too successful but I'm hoping that's because I didn't use enough or missed a section, we'll see how it goes this time. I really like the stuff Ray's got, but want to steer more towards a carbon rather than polished fan shroud, I need to get hold of an ordinary one and take it to the guy that did the carbon bits on my ridox kit to see if he can do it, if he does I'll ask if he'd do another Dave if you like bud. No danger of damage Keron, it was well packaged up mate, cheers again got myself a bargain there imo.

I wasn't overly fussy with the painting bits as they'll eventually get powdercoated anyway, and I've had the lights out a few times already so I'm used to that, wasn't a big job by any means and I thought I was making a bit of a meal of it by taking most of the day No distractions, the sun was shining, all was good. I hope you get your lights sorted Duke, it's one job that I've been putting off and putting off

Cheers Yep, the chrome was flaking badly and the only option really was to sand them down and paint the whole inserts black, pity really but what can you do...

Had today off and got a few bits and bobs done that I've been meaning to get round to. My carbon air duct arrived this week (thanks Keron), so I wanted to get it fitted, my lights have had some crazy condensation in them so I wanted to sort that too, then give it a good clean inside and out. I know it's a lowly n/a engine bay but as I intend keeping the car for a long time yet (I've had it nearly three years now) I intend to turn it into something to be proud of. I started off by taking off the induction kit and removing the headlights I fired the headlights in the oven to try to dry them out, it worked well for the passenger side but the driver's side was so bad that I ended up splitting the light to dry it properly, then sealed it all up again with plenty of silicone. I wet sanded them while I was at it as they'd yellowed again since last time, then fired over them with rubbing compound and they've come out quite well. Machine polish would do them good though. I've got a set of the clear lenses from the group buy but I'm reluctant to take the dremel to my facelifts, I'm keeping an eye out for a cheap donor set though as mine seem to yellow very quickly. I then decided to paint the fusebox cover, nothing fancy just a bit of gloss black, didn't come out too bad (don't think I'm ever going to make it as a painter) but is better looking than it was. I got the carbon air duct in then, with a bit of farting about to get it to fit over the induction kit, and that should have been it for the engine bay for today anyway, but the cam cover was bugging me as it was a bit shabby looking, so I took it out and painted it too. It's not great, but again is an improvement so I'm happy enough. Got it all back together, gave the engine a bit of a wipe down with a cloth and this is the way it's sitting now...very satisfying day in the driveway, I've earned my rocket this evening Still plenty to do before the engine bay's done, I need a carbon fan shroud (which will have to be custom made I guess) and a carbon cooling plate to run from the front of the bumper to the carbon air duct, and get the big heat shield powder coated. Couple of other bits to paint black and a couple of other polished pieces (caps, clamps etc) will finish it off. Didn't get round to washing it or cleaning the interior, that'll keep me busy tomorrow for a bit.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this done, agree that it's nice to see it being done right as that will make all the difference

You can make your own double stuffs...gently hold the edges of each biscuit bit and twist in opposite directions, hopefully leaving one 'plain' biscuit bit and one with the filling still on, do the same with another, squeeze the two bits with filling on together and hey presto your very own home made double stuff oreo...magic!

That's why I was suggesting the lip bud, I don't think you'd get away with it on the stock bumper as there's too much ground clearance (unless yours is lowered lots). I think you'd need that extra with the lip and then the flat carbon piece attached to it.

I imagine you could go for a lip - there's a few available, Amuse one is superb but it's a fortune, there are also cheap ones available on ebay - then add a carbon piece like Paul Whiffin's done with his (his car's in the first page of the thread you've linked) if that's the idea you're after?

I thought yours curved upwards in the middle to match the shape/line of the bottom of the bumper? When you say cheap, are we talking £tens or £hundreds??

Did you have yours custom made Paul?

That looks a quality piece of carbon there Anarchy, very nice mate! more recent one of mine here

Better pic of the wheels here if it's any help in identifying them: These are pics of a Supra that was at the Irish Supra Skyline meet last month, lots of pics here - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=195312

Trial are immense, the bomex aren't bad, but with that lip and the spats your car would really suit oem skirts imo

Pins look a good job (bet they're a pain in the arse to get right) Hodge, rims are awesome Bossco

Bout ye Damien Love your Soarer bud, one I took at Junction1 just for luck:

Yep, well written mate, good to see Ernie, Gav, Darragh and SOCI all got a mention too Bound to be a better pic of you than that one for the header though
