ripped_fear Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Looks great mate, have you treated the sills with anything prior to fitting the skirts? I've noticed a little corrosion on mine from 20 years of it being jacked up so many times! Where did you get the battery terminal covers from by the way? My sills have a little damage unfortunately from Toyota on the IOW jacking the car up, bent the jacking points. Thats the only area of corrosion I have. Does my head in though. The terminal covers are OEM positive ones, shaved the + signs off and smoothed then painted Edited March 6, 2015 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just plastic, I didn't want to paint it due to scraping. Just give it a good clean with some silicone based plastic cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah i thought the same about cracking, thanks mate i'll give that a try this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah i thought the same about cracking, thanks mate i'll give that a try this weekend! I use autogly spray on tyre dressing on it after a wash and dry. Do not wipe it in though, spray it on so its think and covered then just leave to air dry after about 20 mins it looks shiny. That above picture hasnt had any products on it since 2 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sorry mate what part do you mean? You talking about how the metal cover is cut? Can grab a picture with caps off no problem Um...the chrome battery cover has 2 holes for the terminal s to pop through. How did you finish the holes...rubber bungs?? If you can do a pic, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can do a pic, that would be great. Ah I get you now, I used to have one with two holes in it for the terminals to pop though, I custom made it, it was stainless with a etched Toyota logo, sold it to a member on here and he's just re sold it. My current one doesn't have holes it basically is missing the corners so its a bit safer. When I had the old one I used two red rubber rings to pop around the metal top so it protected it against the terminal. Here is an old picture of my current one- You can see it has no corners to it to give plenty of clearance. This is my old one. I cut a slit in it to allow the battery clamp to pass though, then two holes for the terminal. 3 years ago now Edited March 7, 2015 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Cool. Thanks for that. Think i might of ended up buying your old one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Oh really . Good luck tidying it up. Got a little damage in my ownership, Sure you could just re cut the holes out a little bigger. Then re polish Also pictures to follow tomorrow but side skirts are now back on! Look awesome once again. Got the End caps to put on tomorrow, and the underside bolts for the skirts.

Glanza_Mike Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Nice pics Jake, how do you get away with not running a front plate? I hate having to have a front plate. US cars look soooo much better for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks and regarding the plate I honestly don't know mate. Im sure I'm on borrowed time. Been over a year now, been to loads of meets with police presence, passed loads of police and havent been spoken to yet. I do have a removable bracket just in case. Bit worried about foreign police, may go back on for db15. You don't get points for not running one just a fine, but if I was to run a plate with dodgey spacing or type you can get points to. I have taken the risk as it doesn't involve points. Edited March 12, 2015 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
