Ben-san Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I know I've been posting around for the last couple of months, but it's dawned on me that new people tend to make an entrance by introducing themselves right here. Please accept my apologies for the lack of manners. I've owned my new supe since March, after almost being caught out by a bad eBay deal (saved from dog-buying-disaster by you lot ). Been too busy to spend some quality time to treat her well. As a result of which, I haven't taken a proper photo to put up yet. A little inspiration from some of your photos and I was down in my garage getting real personal with the cloth 'n' wax. She's never been spotted in 'was it you' either... even though I'm always taking her out for a good stretch around London Being on the board has been great and it adds oodles to the already feckin' awesome experience of owning a Supe. Allow me to pay homage to mkivsupra.net by introducing you to my pride and joy. So without further ado, here it is, taken on Sunday evening at Richmond Park. http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/tomiko_01__jpeg_.jpg Ben-san®'s 1994 TT GZ in Bronze Looking forward to meeting more of you in person sometime.

Ben-san Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 ...and with the right colour too! Yay! Lovin' the original JDM colour... can't wait for that Sonax to arrive I'm planning on getting the dash done in the same stuff to match the 'slightly gold' theme... ---> [pic] All your warm welcomes appreciated... wish I could have planned this week better to make JAE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpher Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Yay! Lovin' the original JDM colour... JDM-colour? Isnt it Anthracite (1A1) then? Same as my LHD eurospec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I like your 1A1 Anthracite grey... but I think the correct colour designation for OE bronze is 'MSB' (Metallic Silver Bronze). Here's a pic of her at Piran's before I took ownership. It's a strange colour really, it can look completely different depending on the light, as you can see in the first photo, dark side can look almost black. LOL @ my V5 reg doccie... it's listed as brown. Well, according to that, my Supra is a 'light van' as well Some people hate this colour, but it looks great to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Brother Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 It'll be 1A1 as well. Seems to get called lots of different names - anthracite, bronze, MSB etc but when it comes down to it we're all owners of brown cars! I wouldn't have any other colour now, though. It's simply stunning when the sun hits it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 Thanks for the clear-up Faye's bro! I stand corrected: 1A1 it is then. Brown supras unite! Not many around are there? There are quite a few stone chips I need to fix, and I've got a sideskirt that needs rebuilding... have you guys had any experience of aquiring that paint? Will it burn a hole in my pants?

Faye Brother Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Shouldn't be a problem with having the paint made up as it's a standard Toyota colour. Coincidentally, mine goes in for a front end re-spray next week (bonnet, bumper and both wings) - quoted somewhere between £400-£500 all in. Perhaps we need to start a brown Supra picture appreciation thread in the Multimedia forum as there's quite a few MSB owners on here.

Ben-san Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 My front bumper is fading, so I'll probably do what you're doing soon enough. Full respray in the same colour lol when I have some spare sheets. More realisticly, I've pwned my sideskirt recently, so a rebuild @GVN is on the cards. Thanks for the 1A1 code lads, I wouldn't have known otherwise. Ah yes, MSB (Braaaaaaan) appreciation thread is a good idea. It might get quite lonely though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpher Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Thanks for the clear-up Faye's bro! I stand corrected: 1A1 it is then. I thought it weird that the supra came in a colour i hadnt seen before yes Brown supras unite! Yepp Not many around are there? Shure isnt...Norway has 3 Supras in the 1A1 colour...of wich 1 is repainted RSP...plashemy! There are quite a few stone chips I need to fix, ( Join the club...im conisdering a full respray next year.... have you guys had any experience of aquiring that paint? My car came with a Toyota touch-up stick with this colour Will it burn a hole in my pants? Beats me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
