abtin90 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I agree with Abz black mesh would look much better in the wings, plus it would match the front lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 ok ok fair enough suppose that is OK as you did get rid of them other wheels lol Might put them back on just for you Massive improvement on the previous look mate, I too prefer the look with ears. We need some better photos though... I was running late for work, so only grabbed pics with my phone lol Looks much nicer! More clean and cut look. Only thing I'd change is either the wings to stock or put a darker\back mesh behind the wing. That's the plan, black mesh at some point I agree with Abz black mesh would look much better in the wings, plus it would match the front lip. That will get done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I always prefer the lips with the ears. Well I did own a lip like that when I first got the Supra so I am a little biased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely feeling the ears on this one Thanks sunny, hopefully make it down to a Glasgow meet soon Quick question in regards to the respray Alex, did you get new seals put in? From what I'm led to believe, but it's a piss poor respray tbh, not happy at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I got asked this in anther thread, so thought it would be best replying here... Looking good. Mind if I ask what's so bad about the respray and have you spoken to the Bodyshop to try and have them rectify it? The front bumper doesn't fit proper on the drivers side and leaves a gap between light and bumper There's a paint blister on the drivers side air duct on the bumper (by the intercooler pipe) Rear spoiler wasn't prepared or sanded back after being painted Engine undertray wasn't ecured back on, so has just caught my tyre and is now in bits (just been cable tied back in place untill new one sourced) The stock side pods and trim were paint fully in silver (not putting the bottom half in black) Wing mirrors weren't removed for spraying Door locks weren't masked up (i now can't see the LED green ring on the lock) Various paint cracking already on the front bumper Dent on the bonnet not sorted I only noticed these yesterday once i was home and gave the car a good clean, before i could call him and tell him what i found, i was running late for work! It WILL be getting sorted proper once im back from JAE next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Bollox - Sorry to read this mate. Car looks awesome in the pics, but if your not happy, tell them. I'd send them a email, so they have everything in black and white, then call them too. Make sure tell them asap, otherwise they'll wonder why you waited until after JAE.

It WILL be getting sorted proper once im back from JAE next week Mate, that's really bad. When I had to get the rear bumper sorted a couple of years ago, my garage had it fully resprayed, and back to me in 10 days!!!!! They also painted a bumper, TRD spoiler, and bonnet for me in 3 days. Whatever that garage were doing to your car, it's not what they should have been doing. Quick question.......did you check the odometer reading at drop off and collection? Something smells rather fishy, bearing in mind how long it took them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
