Wrapped the door controls in 8d carbon wrap Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fitted new 3.5 inch exhaust trims, think they fill the bumper cut out better than the oem ones. Also ordered some 8d black carbon wrap to cover up the wood effect inside, some Lexus logo projector puddle lights for the doors and a carbon surround for the push start button. Weekend jobs are to spray the other 3 wheels, paint calipers satin black and stick the white Lexus decals on the fronts, and hopefully have time to clay, polish and wax.

. Hi Dave, i didn't break the bead, i used greetings cards cut up into squares and just push them in the gap around the wheel and tyre, beer mats and playing cards are good to, speeds things up a lot

Had to order a new front passenger caliper and carrier as the piston was seized and one slider seized solid and then snapped off in the carrier!!! anyway while its sat there I decided to refurb one of the wheels

Cheers mate, I'm enjoying it.move had toyota celicas for the past 9 years so the comfort is unreal lol

I started with a good clean of all the leather and the rest of the interior, inc stripping the boot out. Then polished up the headlights then gave it a wash, it still needs a clay polish and wax. hopefulky next weekend it'll be nice and I can paint the alloys in e-techs gun metal grey. Ive ordered new front discs and pads along with black gloss paint and white Lexus decals for the calipers. Also ordered 2x 3.5" exhaust trims to fill those bumper gaps a bit more. Lots more plans for it but I'll have to wait.

Well I've finally bought one in the colour I really wanted, i picked it up last Saturday and absolutely love it already. There was a few stone chips and a bit of paint scraped off the rear bumper near the wheel arch, so I got some paint mixed up and sorted all that out. Anyway here's some pics

Did the 2006 is250 have this? I don't know if it's stuck or if it's just a blanking plate

Thanks for your replies, I've peeled it off and it was just the protective cover, just need to get the remaining blue off now -
Think I might have to try that, can't find one anywhere

Hey everyone, put a deposit down on a 56 plate matador red is 250 today! I'm really happy I found one that colour. Time to sell my 05 Celica gt now! Anyone know where I could find a new decal for next to the auto gearbox knob? It's peeling away

I've put a deposit on a matador red is 250 Se-l today, I've noticed the sticker next to the gearbox knob is peeling away, it's an automatic. Anyone know where I can get another?

Oh yeah I'd definitely be doing it myself, it's always satisfying when you do jobs yourself

That's really good mpg! My celica only does about 34 mpg so not that much difference there. I've just watched a YouTube video on how to replace spark plu they're proper buried aren't they

Thanks for the warm welcome, good to know about the tax being cheaper for the auto. What's fuel consumption like? Is it as bad as it sounds lol I'll have a good read through all the above links and clue myself up. What's the difference between the se ans se-L?
