Hamilton Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Just thought I'd share a few photos of what I've been up to with the car. The only big change is fitting the TRD spoiler from Whifbitz, but I've slowly been tidying up a few other bits and pieces as well. Here's the car before the spoiler- it never looked bad without one, but I personally prefer a Supra with it. Drilling holes in my beautiful car was terrifying! Thankfully all went well, mostly thanks to a LOT of measuring and checking beforehand! Getting there... Sorry for these photos- it was getting dark when I finished! Here's some better ones in the daylight. I love this car... Few extra things- I replaced the bulbs in the upper dash with LEDs. I also used a layer of that stuff used to laminate paper to disperse the light a bit better, which works well. And I made a couple of these for underneath the boot carpet. The car only came with one, and it was a bit tatty. Had to get a new plug to fill where the rear wiper has been deleted. The original one fell out while I was cleaning the car! New alarm fob... Next thing is to replace the alarm buttons on the dash, as one has come off. I'll likely respray the dash panels while I'm at it as the rubber coating on the dash is looking a bit tired and scratched. I'd still like an OEM look though, so will likely use the matt black from Halfords unless anyone has any other suggestions... One more- my membership pack arrived, so I made use of it! The car is off to Whifbitz for a big service on Friday, mostly for my own peace of mind as I can't find any record that it's been serviced for the last couple of years. Sorry for the long post! Thanks for reading. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Personally, with the kit and wheels, it didn't need a spoiler, but well done for drilling holes in your boot :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Great work, but also preferred it without a spoiler. Tidy job though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Much better with a wing imo! great work. Brave drilling with only a trd as reference! Looks like you did a nice job Spoilerless only works on stockish car aggressive wheels and low imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 that looks really nice, the spoiler was a great addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thanks all. I guessed the spoiler might split opinion a bit. I'm just glad I didn't make a mess of things fitting it! Car is off to Whifbitz tomorrow. I may pick up a new front Aerotop seal while I'm there as the current one isn't great. Does anyone know how to remove the old seal? I've done a search but can't find much. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check those rails as well while the seal is off- didn't even know they were there. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
