drift_bear Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Looks great Jake nice little touches there! Starting to make me considering running plateless on the stock front now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 So today has been a bit of a mixed bag. All new body panels are 100% fitted up, new front bumper, rear bumper and oem side skirts. This has included all new OEM front bumper supports and brackets, badge, side skirt vents, arch liners, and a few other bits here and there including titan plate surround etc etc. The Cam covers are painted but my brand new POS torque wrench I bought doesn't work so got to wait till tomorrow until I cant get in to the mechanics area and use theirs to do the bolts. But all new gaskets, breathers and oem washers have been installed. The plug cover is just laid there for now. For now that is it, as always more pictures. - - - Updated - - - Looks great Jake nice little touches there! Starting to make me considering running plateless on the stock front now lol Do it alex, I love the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks guys, too say I'm pleased is an understatement. The exterior is almost exactly how I want it. A few rear end changes (TRD spoiler, diffuser, face-lift tail lights)and maybe black the UK headlights and the body is near enough done. Then it's engine, audio and wheels.

ripped_fear Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Finally got the interior of the car cleared out and all the parts are now in the hall! A fair amount despite me leaving loads over there! Also fitted my chromed bonnet stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys, Will definitely be going facelift rears, but the fronts I will probably keep UK as I like the glass, but may black out the inserts and keep the rings chrome.
