Westy Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Haha! Hasn't been washed in around 2-3 weeks! It's actually really dirty! Good colour that 1A1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Looks ok I suppose. Cracking picture, those blossom trees are a right pita though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Great pic in the blossom and car looks great on them wheels (but not a fan of the top visor spoiler to be honest but just a personal opinion). Good work Love this Supra. I was never a fan of the visor spoiler or the bumper pods from pics but now that I have them fitted I really do like them. Having two stock bodied Supras and wanting them to look different is what's driving me towards purchases. I think this car will get a TRD spoiler to finish it off with the MVP earless lip...full yank style! Looks ok I suppose. Cracking picture, those blossom trees are a right pita though. Haha! Thanks for the compliment...I think! I have an MVP lip for fitting mate. Let me know when your free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks buddy. I take it the polished fan shroud that Rob is gold plating is yours!? I've removed all the gold from this car ATM. Can't decide whether to keep or sell it all!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't decide whether to keep or sell it all!? Yes mate, can't wait to fit it I think a touch of gold goes well in my car since the outside it's a yellowish gold ... I'm not going to far though I saw your thinking of selling your bits .. I would be intrested in the rad strip if your splitting or part trade my chrome one for urs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Ordered 80 M7x24mm GOLD bolts for the BBS LMs. Can't wait for them to show up!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 OEM Top Visor Spoiler Fitted. Polished to remove all scratches prior to fitting. http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/westy882/BE8F0908-6F47-4EF7-B30E-434FFCFC0E4C_zpsd6ycr1vc.jpg The puddle/wet floor makes it look it's got wide skirts at a quick glance :-) Roof spoiler looks good How did u fix it in the end? Did you just use the 2 metal clips? Mines still sat on the sofa ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I removed all remnants of the old sticky pads and machine polished the entire spoiler to remove all swirl marks and scratches. I then reapplied double sided sticky tape to the top contact points and then attached it using the metal brackets. Was a bit of a PITA but nothing too strenuous.

But it stuck like dog doo to a stick and was a few mm out, caught the roof when I opened the boot! So took it off again and removed the tape once more... I'm at a standstill now. (Least of my worries ATM tbh.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I found it easier to fit with the boot open buddy, as that way you can line the rubber edging up with the frame of the bootlid before pressing down the centre and tightening the clamps.

Westy Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Gold bolts finally arrived! I've just sat the faces in place to get an idea of the look and I must say it's so much better than the standard black bolts! Going to polish up the lips again prior to putting them back together but here is a teaser: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
