Well it's back from the bodyshopChanged a few bits too, had the side moulding painted the same colour as the wheels, and changed the front indicators and side repeaters to black smoked ones.
Looks MUCH better be thinks
Not taking any proper pictures until the Carbon fibre spoiler is fitted.

Yeah, the spoiler arrived today, but it's going to be a few days while the non-carbon bits of it are colour coded.Originally Posted by arry

This is the spoiler that's going on:
Not got the spoiler on yet, but gave the car a good polish today and took some pics
Carbon bladed rev5 spoiler...
Yeah it's going to take a little work to fit as the fibreglass parts are a little wonky, but nothing I cant sortCarbon bladed rev5 spoiler...
thats lovely. not overly keen on the lights, but otherwise it looks fantastic!
Cheers. I admit the lights are a little Marmite, but they are among the more tasteful of the 'Lexus' lights. I am considering tinting them a little to match the front indicators better.
i do like the 2's, had a white one for while. tidy looking one.
Just a quick one, I've got a quick release steering wheel boss, and was wondering how you guys thought these compare with a DiskLoc's and other steering locks etc.
This is what the car looks like when it's left unattended:
Finally got the spoiler on today, took more work than expected to get it to fit correctly but it's on and I'm VERY pleased with it
Looks lovely mate ,nice lookin car .
dont like mr2's really but it does look really smart and well put together
good job all round
That spoiler is ace Jem
Jut
Thanks guys
Still got a couple of little jobs to do on the spoiler. I want to change all 14 bolts to stainless so they don't have even a chance to think about going rusty. I'm also going to seal it to the boot with tiger seal so water cant leak through the bolt holds into the boot.
Also added a HUD speedo this weekend. It's not finished yet as I'm going to flush mount it in the top of the dash. This pic makes the reflective foil on the windscreen look quite a but darker than it is in real life for some reason:
can i ask where you got the HUD? looks mint, and quite useful too
Ebay
Was it difficult to fit? Also does it display MPH or only KMH?
Very easy to install, just a ignition live and earth and a wire into the speedo pulse wire. The lead then comes up to the top of the dash and can be easily disconnected so you're not leaving the unit on the dash to attract thieves. The foil on the screen is simply a case of ensuring the screen is spotlessly clean, wetting it with water in a squirty bottle and squeegee the water out, the same as window tint film. I am going to flush mount it permanently in the top of the dash, which I don't expect to be a simple task.
The unit displays Km/h but can be calibrated for both MPH and Km/h. I've got it perfectly calibrated to match my Satnav in MPH, and just neatly covered the 'Km/h' on the display with black insulation tape
