Just treated myself to a private plate :) The plates came from JM Imports and are much smaller than normal while remaining road legal. Also modified the front plate plinth to make it smaller.

Also considering buying new front and rear lights just to finish it off. The ones I have are good, but as the rest of the exterior is about perfect, it would just be the final finishing touch. :)

Love seeing a Supra with a private plate, it makes it look so much nicer and hides the age really well.

 

I constantly getting people thinking the car is only a few years old when they see it and having the P/P helps.

Today I have been having the car waxoyled and undersealed. :) Big thanks to CSK fabrications near York for spending a whole day on my car :D

 

I had this done just after I had picked the car up last October, but I decided to have it done MUCH more thoroughly this time. Every nook and cranny under the car has now been done, including all the cavities and box sections. The wheel arch liners, fuel tank cover, exhaust heatshields etc all came out.

I am now pretty certain that rust will not be an issue with my Supra :D The underside was already totally immaculate, but I check the underseal with every service and get it renewed every couple of years just to keep it perfect. :)

What seat rails you used to fit recaros? I assume those are trendlines etc. Asking, because i got same seats with recaro rails, used to have those with old Speeds. Now bolt pattern is different and i had to fit "raise bars" = seats are bit higher :(

Newest addition to the car :cool:

Brand new facelift headlights and rear lights. I also bought some LaminX headlight covers, but they quickly went in the bin. They are a good idea, but in practice they make they make the headlight lens look ripply and distorted.

Just need to buy some new sidelights/indicators now, but really happy with how the car looks now.

Nice looking supra!

 

You cant be that happy with how the car looks if you're selling the BBS rims :D

 

Thanks :)

 

The wheels looks amazing, but to be honest split rims are a bit of a PITA for a daily. I have just bought another set of equally nice but different BBS wheels. I am only gauging interest in selling at the moment, I might have these mirror polished and use them for the odd show etc.

Lovely work as always and great to see that it gets some proper use as a daily and on the track. Seems a shame that most members buy a supra as a garage queen.

 

Cheers mate :) Although I do try and keep her very clean, I couldn't justify having her if she just sat in a garage somewhere. And it still puts a smile on my face every day. :)
