The Raven Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 My life is one big ball of poop. Most of the time it rolls along ok, but some times big lumps come off and hit me in the face. If im honest i laughed, i really did. Compaired to the other crap going on in my life and or what the car went though a mirror is the least of my worrys. I did poop it when the first words where "im sorry.............a tractor hit your car" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Why not get a second hand one of Keron in the same colour for a lot less and pocket the cash difference ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 What Dunk said. But if you want new, phone Steve Manley or look on toyodiy for the part number. Steve will get you a good price on one, but it'll need spraying so you might as well get a second hand one from Keron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra joe Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Your car is looking ace, some facelift rear lights would suit it, maybe some spacers for the rear wheels too lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yeah im going to tint the rear lights and save for some spacers, I will also try taking them aero things off, what do they do anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yeah im going to tint the rear lights and save for some spacers, I will also try taking them aero things off, what do they do anyway? I think they are just to keep air out of the cabin, doesn't work, or mind didn't, just makes loads of wind noise. Take the aero fins off the bracket, you need to bolt the bracket back in after as it holds down the seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
