;):D cheers lads.8)

 

i got the trd spoiler fitted ,i must say ,it looks the mutts.

iv took some pics ,so il post up in a bit.

 

The next move is to strip the running gear,take a look see at whats good and whats not.

thers a place not to far from me called pershore plating,thay do a few types of finishes,but stainless is the one id be after.:eyebrows:

a nice stainless finish on all the parts under the car would look good and be very easy to keep clean,and im sure would be a hit at the shows.

One of my mates race class 9 buggies, his buggies is done like this and looks great:cool:

 

the hubs will be replaced or refebished then plated also ,so as one looks through the wheels or under the car it all shines.

this is my next move,and should be carried out with in about a month from now,then new brake kit and suspenchin the following month and a half. 2 month at the max.

That is looking very nice. Got to have balls to paint mirrors and door handles different colour but ties in great

 

End caps on that TRD would look great in white

Hi Adam,

 

Unless you are just doing it for looks, I would stick with stock TT brakes (with new discs + pads) or go with a better known brand such as Brembo or Stoptech as these are all time proven to be great brakes, whereas the K-sport are quite well known as "cheap big brakes" or "ebay brakes".

inferno thanks for your info.

i was looking at stoptech at mvp,s website, as you know for more then me il go for the stoptech

thers not that much inthe price diffrence if you compare the £ to the $ tbo,i just thought k sport looked better,but id rather spend a bit more on a better product that does the job rather than just look good.

 

cheers mate adamb

just had a proper look at the stop tech range,

with what iv got to spend on brakes im not gonna get the one,s i really wont ther just to much money .

so im gonna go for brand new uk spec brake calipers ,brembo discs if i can find them,braided lines and very good pads.

these will do me just fine untill i can save for some brembo,s as ther the best eny way.

just gonna upload the pics of the trd carbon spoiler now fitted.

i think it looks really nice,when the lower lip spoiler goes on it should come together proper .

 

Just need shine auto rear difuser now,, like the one JP has on the black beast. then the rear is done.

MVP has a good price on at the moment,it will have to wait tho ,all my money spare at the time being is to replace all under the car with new parts.

this is the pics of the inner wing that i painted satern black,

I fitted the oem indacators inside the wing so you can see the flash but not the light..

 

i thought id fit it just incase eny one ever hit into me and said you never had your side indacator fitted so (no pay out)

 

the mesh is also new and just fitted..
