Tommyd16 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Got my AC unit from pro spec imports in Australia. Looks mint with all brand new buttons and their stainless trim. I’ll get it fitted tomorrow and put a pic up of it all lit up. Just need some stainless rings to finish it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Would definitely recommend replacing the buttons for new while they they are still available. Makes a big difference. Not the best picture but you get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Also got a brand new foam reinforcer for the front bumper from Toyota as I couldn’t find a second hand part. Can’t wait to get the bumper back from the BodyShop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got a delivery of new gates aux belt and tensionor pulley as I have abit of a squeak. Treated myself to a neo chrome tensionor arm and also going to replace the dampener while I’m there. Just waiting for that bit to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayr Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Looks great mate Does that Defi boost gauge need a separate unit to run it ? Or does it just work on its own like a normal gauge?
