  1. Thanks Paul, really appreciate it. I love the interior you've done! Wouldn't change a thing. I also got given a huge file with receipts and manuals for the car which I've barely had time to look through, but I'll give you a shout if anything else crops up. Dave
  2. For what it's worth I'll do my very best to look after it. What wheels did you have on it? The interior has black Recarro Speeds, white LEDs in the dash and black carpet. Sound about right?
  3. Wow, that's cool! I guessed someone would recognise the car but didn't think it would be from back in 2008! Glad you like it though.
  4. Good idea, thanks for the advice. Funnily enough this crossed my mind as well. I'll probably get hold of an OE set of skirts as I'm fairly certain I won't keep the Veilsides, and will keep an eye out for the rest. I do love an OE car but there were other things I prioritised over having something stock.
  5. Thanks. Yes, the rear arches have been rolled. Done well too. In older photos it used to have wheel arch extensions but they've obviously been removed- I prefer it like this.
  6. Thanks for the comments everyone. Glad so many are in agreement about the spoiler- I'll post more pics when it's fitted. I've gone for the TRD one. Few more photos now I've had chance to take it out. I also spent hours yesterday cleaning the interior- it wasn't filthy, but it's always nice to know it's been done thoroughly!
  7. Hello all, This is technically my second "hello" post as I did one last year, but the difference this time is that I am now the proud owner of a black GZ Aerotop! I spent nearly a year looking for the right car but I'm delighted with what I've got, and I feel I owe a great deal to the people on this forum- I've lurked here for years, reading loads, before joining properly, so I felt I had a good knowledge base before looking for a car. Now I have it I realise how much I still have to learn, but still, thank you all for such a superb and supportive forum. Anyway, the car: it has belonged to at least one forum member previously- some may recognise it. It's been superbly looked after, and I'm currently wading through an enormous file of manuals, receipts and history. As expected there are a few small things that need attention- a few paint cracks and chips- but overall nothing major. I don't plan on making any drastic changes at the moment- my aim is just to look after it, having wanted one of these cars for so many years. I'll make a couple of interior tweaks and get a spoiler put back on (shame as the spoiler delete had been really neatly done, but personally I prefer the Supra with a spoiler!) I may swap the VS skirts as well, although to be honest they're growing on me now that I've seen them in the flesh, so who knows. I'm going to try to attach photos of the car arriving earlier today, but if they don't show up then you'll know I've failed! Look forward to meeting some of you at the shows soon. Thanks for reading and apologies for the long post! Dave
  8. Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I have started looking already, even though I'm quietly hoping a car doesn't pop up until next year- I'm checking the usual places daily (Autotrader, eBay, PH, plus the classifieds on here), although please let me know if you can think of anywhere I might be missing. I know a black TT aerotop might be a big ask, although I'm hopeful of finding one and I'll be as patient as I can manage! If I can't find one however then I'd consider a black NA aerotop with a view to a NA-T conversion, though from a cost point of view this isn't ideal. I might also consider a TT aerotop in another colour and look at a black respray, however I'm pretty picky when it comes to paint jobs (I've seen my fair share of bad ones!) and I know that good resprays don't come cheap so, again, not ideal from a cost viewpoint!
  9. Hi all, Firstly can I just say what a fantastic forum this is? I've been lurking on here for probably ten years on and off, and it's so nice to see it still going. I'm registering and saying hello now as I'm finally within sight of buying my first Supra. I've had the desire and funds to buy one for quite some time, but only more recently had the circumstances. I did actually put a deposit in one a few years back- it was being sold by a certain High Wycombe dealer, but then I thought better of it and backed out, and whilst I certainly don't regret that decision my desire to own a Supra remained very much alive. They're such capable cars, and to this day they still look incredible. As James May might put it, not much else gives me "the fizz"! So I'll be on the hunt for a TT Aerotop in black come next year. I was two minds about whether I wanted an Aerotop, but (randomly) coming across the feature on Ibrar's amazing car in Fast Car magazine this month has convinced me. It's the first time I've bought Fast Car magazine for probably 15 years- takes me back to being a teenager! Sorry for the long post and thank you if you've read all of this! Thank you too for all the advice over the years. I'll keep you all posted on the search. Dave
