kpr Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 yeh facelift. can get them for sub 200 from toyota. think prefacelift like linglings is discontinued. facelift one looks better anyway. need bumper brackets or modify, plus the new bumper lights if going to facelift from pre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danger Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 heres some inspiration of perfection perfect restoration Yeah that looks good. You should make your car look like that one you inexplicably sold. That one looked nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Not at all expensivehttp://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 326179.htm assuming thats the right thing. Yep, I asked him yesterday if he could get me zenki ones. I really should bought a Kouki. These Bumpers are so Cheap. I have decided to put Matt black for the bumpers and side mirrors and lights. I do like the bottom sill to be painted black as well, so it gives a two tone look, and factory. mise just do the whole lot at the same time.

xsspeed Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Talk to Mark/1I1/Corolla Gt, pretty sure bumpers are availble from Toyota, if that guy on trademe has them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 From factory I think the sills were painted black, the ones on my car are, but I always thought it was because it had a factory kit on it/to suit the black side skirts.But I really wouldnt bother painting them black to be honest. Hi VG, Do you mind if you could take a photo of your sill? maybe put a ruler or something on the sill so I could work out where the Silver and Black paint meets?

0R10N Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 errh, but originally, they look like these. So you want to make your car look like an AE85? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Perhaps that lower strip was a decal for the sake of being a stone gaurd of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 no, but the looks are exactly the same. Ah, fair enough. I'm glad you're putting the effort into returning it to a tidy factory-spec look. That'll guarantee that it holds its value Still amazed at how good the condition was, in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Still amazed at how good the condition was, in the flesh. You still missed the serious rust and where some guy had actually PUSHED out a dent. What a cowboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpr Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 oh true, i was fixing a fault on there fire alarm as usual. os work meat if was day later. watch out if you end up at the kauri site, im related to half the staff there.. Ling, some pics of that shield. lacking photographic technology atm, so this is good as it gets: you need to look at your dizzy/cas, to see if it has the 2 threaded holes, to accept the shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Thank you man. no, it doesn't, otherwise I would mount mine existing ones to there. The heat shield you have does look fantastic. I am guess I will need find a way to mount it to my dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpery86 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Nice bumpers are perfect, not sure about the mirrors and side skirts tho.My car wouldn't sit that low. US has the red side lights? Good looking car! mirrors are shit, but sideskirts are factory and fuckin awesome.. not many gt-vs had sideskirts though, more a gt-apex thing.. but still factory option? and yeah us has the red side lights as for kouki bumper, if you buy one you also need kouki grill, bumper indicators/lights, zenki lip, kouki eye lids and corner lights, otherwise it looks shit.. and if you're running kouki front bumper (bearing in mind the theme) you would also need kouki rear bumper and redlines? but redlines look shit on a silver car, i vote keep zenki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
