bigbloodyturbo Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 bit like the ridox supra with its 'pop riveted on' wings. Although apart from the exposed fixings, i really like that TS supra, pity its so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 you been to spec savers then;) Not today but every year or so. I wear contact lenses. Was the inital poster refering to the car when he said he was disappointed? I simply thought he was making a statement. I made mine... I'm not disappointed... just had a nice meal, good company. In fact one could say i'm almost elated. On a serious note, that isn't the only top secret supra in the world... there is (was) a lovely red one.

johnny g Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I still love that car though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Is that not the whole TS appeal, the raw fitment? Looks ok to me compared to some of the sh!te you get to see on here and other forums with so called "excellent fitment". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyby Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 the car look very cool form a destens. But fitting it like this.. well I think you know how I feel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Im quit disappointed Does that mean you're never going to be disappointed ever again? I've seen some poor efforts of hiding rivets and joins in the past so you either go one of two routes. Keep 'em showing and raw looking or spend a long time trying to hide them well only to appear after the slightest nudge or just general movement/body flex.

marbleapple Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 are you making fun of me, be cores on the best to engish? no he was not making fun of your English... It's better than some English peoples use of the language. It was a Tongue in cheek joke. I thought it quite funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Should point out an "excellent fitting kit" is one that you can pop-rivet on and everything lines up... If the kit was all smoothed in and blended you wouldnt be able to tell the fitment since there would be fiberglass & filler filling in any gaps or misalignments. Quite a few of the jap cars have that "raw" look about them with all the rivets and pannel joins on show. Guess its one of those Marmite things Personally i think it looks an awsome car, and wouldnt be disapointed with it at all even with its fittings on show but we are all different!

marcAB10 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Apart from the bonnet and bumper part where you can see where the original headlights were. I think the car looks very cool, rivets and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if thay change this, and the fitment of all the rear. I wourld say it was stunning car. If thats how you say if something just look perfect. all in all, I still it is a cool car. Well thats how i feel, we can't really argue this, right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I like the wheels, the front of the car ruins it for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burble Burble Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'm from a time long ago, when my anglia had "wide wheels" wolfrace 5 1/2 J's, pop rivets were an essential part of life and I still like the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I love the car, BUT, the lines of the bonnet still mess it up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastisnice Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 The car looks awesome! This is my dream kit/wheels. You are a lucky one to have this car. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Also saw it for the the time "in the flesh" on the exhibition. Also noticed the "raw" fitment and really didn't like it. The "raw" way of doing it, doesnt really fit a car like this. Its just perfect for a 993 GT2 but it doesn't become this supra. Also, there were bad choises made in the interieur, like the bolt-on gauges in stead of fitting them in a pillar or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I normally like the riveted arches look like the Veilside kit, but as much as Im in love with that particular TS kit, Im not a fan of the exposed rivets, especially when its in a flawless deep shiny grey like that. Maybe if it was a matt finish or in race graphics but its kinda not been thought out. Ah well, its not mine though is it! Someone probably ordered it like that.
