Jake Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 TRD rear? I though you had the stock rear bumper, no? If it's the stock rear bumper and the foglight is next to the number plate you may well be able to get at the back of it by taking the number plate off. As you probably know, there's a big hole behind the number plate. I don't think you'll need to though. The foglight is most likely secured from the front. If you want to get at the foglight wiring the best way is probably from inside the boot and/or underneath the car. To go in from underneath you'll have to remove the long securing plate thing from under the bumper, by the petrol tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 2. Yes, as long as you make sure they are well cleaned before you start. 2 coats of smoothrite and Ebay decals on mine and they still look new 6 months later. 3. Silver or chromed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShox Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 thnx for advice chaps! umm well if i can find the right insurance deal fully comp then i wouldnt have any problems but i cant keep paying 100 per month third party only cos cant really drive it anywhere. i like working on it and just wanna make it look good. if i keep it on autotrader and someone makes an offer well then thats a bonus? someone is checking out one this weekend and will let me know. o some finishes showed here (thought I shiny cyan tone or a red would look good especially in the dark? or even smoked chrome?): http://www.lap-tab.co.uk/alloywheels.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hot Pink to match the interior Just kidding I think Shadow chrome would look very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShox Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 o i took the horrid seat covers out! standardised the interior a bit - of course the gear knob still needs a revision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
