Hi all,
I thought I would start a build thread for my daily drive; I can update it as and when I add stuff and hopefully everyone can offer some advice on what to do and not to do Please bare in mind this is my daily car so nothing ridiculous. Although maybe a turbo one day, but that is a long way ahead
I bought the car in October with already a few modifications already done.
TRD spoiler
Shark fin antenna
Valenti brake lights
Reversing camera
OEM mud guards
OEM armrest
And recently discovered it already had a remap .
It also has the full leather heated seats.
Some pics of the car as I bought it just after a clean.
I have had to re-attach the shark fin antenna with 3M tape as the back of it was coming off.
So far just a few little mods
Intec 3rd brake light.
Aluminium Reverse lockout (pic below)
Leather cluster hood cover (pic below but difficult to see).
Heated seat buttons plate cover; had to file them down as they didn't quite fit.
Recently added some TRD aero wings
Looking at few other changes to be made, particularly the exhaust.
Matt Black badges added (finally); has been a real struggle getting hold of a cheapish set.
I had a go at Plastidipping the front before, it didn't go very well; it ended up all furry. Tried to order a set of front and back badges through ebay but the ebay website kept saying the payment could not be accepted so I contacted the seller on Ebay to find out why it wouldn't go through; they sent a suspect looking email back. So thought I would try to order another "cheapish" set off amazon. Ordered them from a trader on Amazon, they were were meant to arrive within about a month, they never came and then the delivery dates got changed when they didn't arrive... After just over a month I put a claim into Amazon as the seller/trader never contacted me back; Amazon accepted my claim and refunded me my £££'s back to my account, I believe the seller has now been taken off Amazon although the same badges are still on the amazon website but from loads of different traders so be warned.
Tried ordering the ebay badges again just to see if it would work this time as I was getting desperate. This time it went through with the same seller I contacted months ago and I was ready to start getting emails typed up to ebay help etc just in case they didn't arrive, but they did.
Not sure what to do with the GT86 badge though, either remove it completely or have another go at plastidipping that.
