Rich.2211 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Retro fitted my active front lip today, purchased of Stevo! Didn't take long to fit at all, and made some custom C brackets up for the very side pieces to keep it rigid. I love the look! Just ignore the tractor ride height as it had just come off the two post ramp Also a quick pic from Josh42's drive with both our Supras parked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Looks great Rich - gonna look very stealthy once lowered! Any chance of a few pics of the C-brackets you made mate? I still have one that'll be going on my car and the ends are the bits I couldn't get to fix properly (without resorting to cable ties!)

DaveR Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Looking very good, matey. I'm a big fan of the fixed aero-lip look myself. Your thread reminds me that I need to re-address the fixing of my own one actually, seeing as the weather currently seems to allow for such things!

safcdixon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Looks great what did you use to make it shine? Did you paint it? Or just back to black it? Whenever i try to wax/polish mine it turns dull after a few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 As with most Supras, the once black scuttle panel had faded to grey and was looking tired and dated. Decided to take it off and freshen it up with a respray. It looks a million times better and the total cost = £0 Wiper arms next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Cheers for the comments! As for the scuttle panel, it was jet washed, scotched, panel wiped and finally hit with three coats of satin black. I've done a few now all in the same method and it seems to work fine. Washed the car the day after and hit it at pretty close range with the jet wash and it's fine. It does freshen up the outside quite a lot for a small job!

Rich.2211 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Following on from doing the scuttle panel, I decided to attack the wiper arms today. Here's a few pictures Showing a before/after: All done including giving the aero blades a good clean: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
