DuaneT.Turbo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Hey people, So i bought my supra last January, and since then have been fixing bits on it such as, Seatbelts, a missfire that turned out to be the coilpack clips, power steering pump, wheel bearing, headlights and other bits and bobs, but now all the problems are sorted and i can finally mod So when i first got the car it was like this: Since then i have bought new Drilled and grooved brakes all round (i personally dont think they are as good as standard but had to find out) and painted calipers red Bought and fitted a half carbon TRD spoiler with Carbon end Caps Next i was going to get the wheels re-furbed but have just had a major impulse buy and have bought the Shine auto diffuser off Whifbits. Will update when its fitted. D Edited October 24, 2012 by DuaneT.Turbo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Oh no - lose the stickers. They spoil what is otherwise a nice looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The stickers really ruin the look fella, it looked nice and clean before them. Usually see corsas etc with stickers on the doors like that. Nice front bumper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuaneT.Turbo Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Done some work on getting the diffuser fitted this weekend: Drilled the holes and offered the diffiser up, my god it was dirty under the spats and out of the 3 holes that were drilled to go round the arch only 1 matched up! Fitted and spats put back in place, yes it was raining but it was all done before it started raining but i wanted a pic Car needs a good clean now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-_-b Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Cars looking nice, personally would remove the stickers, but like the others that 'imo' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Looks lovely with the rear diffuser fitted! If you need any inspiration (and a little persuasion) to remove the stickers, look how clean it makes the car look. http://ll.speedhunters.com/u/f/eagames/NFS/speedhunters.com/Images/Jacco%20Willemsen/Random%20Shots/672resized_MG_5518.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuaneT.Turbo Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Why not have the normal wings cut and meshed? I am considering doing that, cutting them whilst on the car so i know the shape is ok and not moved (making sure no sparks get on the car) taking the wings off mesh them and im assuming i'd need to re-paint..

Noz Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 is that the auto shine diffuser or a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
