The car mod piggy bank is a bit empty now after the respray, so no immediate plans. Maybe some new BK alloys similar to the ones on now. I think I can get a set for not much more than it would cost to refurb the four that are on now.
I think I'm going to tint the front fogs JDM yellow stylee soon though. I think they would look great against the grey, and I'm also going to paint the front bumper mesh black, as it's 21 year old and has gone a bit rusty and tired looking.

Nice car, and the best model as well in my eyes But if it were mine, those front fogs would HAVE to go, don't sit well with my Toyota OCD lol. Why get wheels? Just put the cash into the paint fund

Just put the cash into the paint fund The front fogs are pretty rare Toyota ones I've been told on the Toyota forums. I like the BK Sevens currently on it, but they need a refurb. I think I can get a similar new set for about £220, compared to £50 a corner to refurb. No brainer really. Paint fund? It's just been sorted mate.

They look proper aftermarket to me, like some Hellas from ebay smashed in there lol. Are these 5x114? I'm trying to think if Ive got anything interesting in my garage that would suit your car, wheel wise.

After finishing cleaning the engine bay of the Audi 80, I stopped for a lunch of a Peanut Tracker and some blackberry flavoured fizzy water, then made a start on the Celica's lump As it started... And as I left it... There's definately less room in there to work than with the Audi

Get some Raybrig headlights on there. Massive difference to night driving. I got mine from The Celica Breakers. Had the blue lens version. Like hid's.
Car looks great. Very chuckable from what I recall when I drove my mate's one.

I need to stop looking at this thread! I assume there's no way of finding out the number of your RC, so you can then register it on the RC register? Here's my old one: If you're REALLY bored, you could always look on the register and trawl through the photos, to see if yours is on there? www.turbocelica.nl/csregister.htmMine is on there, but with the private plate removed. Best of luck with the digging!

Thanks for the link. Although I wasn't particularly bored, I did look through all the pics of the grey ones, and couldn't see mine. Shame. Maybe I'll never find out the unique number of this one.
Your red one looked smart.

Oh forgot, the postman delivered some crystal clear headlamps earlier, bought at a bargain price in a group buy on the Celica Club. I'll get them fitted, and replace the standard bulbs with the Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs I've just bought. The plan is to sharpen the front end up further with crystal front and side repeaters too.
