Lbooth Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hi Guys, My name is Lewis and after returning to the UK in March I've finaly got round to resuming my Supra ownership. Had a black manual N/A before I left the country 4 years ago and have now treated myself to a UK spec TT manual. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3378812.htm Although it's still advertised on pistonheads took delivery last weekend, only change being the wheels have been refurbished back to standard finish. Really impressed with what I've seen on the forums, a lot of knowlege and passion for the Supra going on, will definitely be keen to attend some of the meets. The car seems to have been owned by an enthusiast so wondering if it's known to any of the members on here, registration used to be L130 ERU. Also, was actually after another black Supra so keen to know if anyone has had a Supra wrapped or know of anyone who has had it done on other cars. Seems everyone is getting their cars wrapped white whereas I want to go the other way and get gloss black! Bit of an unknown and don't really want to go down the re-spray route. Anyway back to work, the sooner I finish the sooner I can go for a drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Welcome to the club, that looks to be a perfect supra very nice, i would give me arm for a uk TT6, Be sure to add it to the uk spec register if it not already on it http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?242550-UK-Spec-Supra-Register Edited November 2, 2011 by ripped_fear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Welcome. Good choice on the UK TT6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Nice Sup you bought yourself! I get that UK TT6s are rare etc, but were you not tempted to buy a built single for that money!? Dont get the car wrapped though, looks good as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbooth Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Price in the advert is inflated by over £3k so probably wouldn't quite be in the range for a mint single build. Also having been out of UK for 4 years with no valid insurance history a single wouldn't be an option, being unmodified I'm paying less on a UK spec than I would on an N/A, wish i'd known that when I bought an N/A as a 20 year old! Wish I'd known how crazy the prices were going to go as well with all the European buyers snapping anything half decent up. She looks good in white but it doesn't compare to gloss black, as original paintwork is mint was hoping wrapping was a viable option to maintain the paint and still get the look I want but haven't seen the finished product anywhere yet.
