Rory's Starlet SR

Got these in the mail today, can't wait to get them on. I'll post before and after pictures when they're done.

Rear left arch

Here is how they look on the car:

I haven't put the boot decal on yet as i removed both the TOYOTA and the STARLET stickers as they were old and faded. I've ordered a 'TOYOTA' badge for the left side of the boot and i'm looking to get another to say STARLET, then i'll add the boot sticker. I also bought 2 SR mudflaps that i plan on putting on soon so i'll add pictures of that when i've done it. I'm working away a lot in the next few weeks so i don't have much time to work on it.

I'm looking at getting a back box for my car so if anyone knows of any cheap back boxes for a starlet then please let me know. Hope you like the pictures

Clear front indicators next i think and next month i think i'll get a new exhaust system and air filter. Any ideas?

Your car is looking really good! When I brought my black SR it was exactly like yours but, I have now removed the stickers, removed the back window wiper, had a new exhaust fitted and have fitted clear side and front indicators. I have also put some different wheels on however, that was only meant to be a temporary thing as I wanted to refurbish the Speedlines. The wheels I have on now though handle alot better than the Speedlines so I may leave them off. I didn't want the stickers on my car as they were really tatty and I though my car would look better with out them so I took them off. I do have to say though, with your stickers being brand new, unlike what mine were, seeing a black SR with nice new ones on, I am now toying with the idea of getting some but the price is a little off putting but I suppose you get what you pay for. I will be getting just my back passenger windows tinted for the time being but I may go on to have the rear one done too at some point. Hope you get the little problems sorted soon and keep us all posted with your progress

Hey Emma

I really like the look of your car, it looks sweet!

I was really worried that spending 56.99 on the stickers wasn't going to be worth it, but as soon as they were on i knew they were worth every penny. It is expensive but you do get what you pay for. The rear arch stickers were a bit tricky and took 2 people to put on.

I contacted a guy from the parts department at Toyota GB and he ordered them for me and delived them for that price.

I would definitely say it's worth getting them, but 56 quid is steep.

Our cars are looking very similar, sorry if it seems that i'm copying you. Definitely not intensional.

I really love the clear indicators though. I think i will definitely keep the Speedlines for now though. I wouldn't mind spacing the wheels out a bit so that the wheels come out of the arches a little bit, i think that would look cool.

I was considering lowering it too but it's pretty expensive. I'm struggling to find places for toyota parts. I really want to get a new exhaust system or at least a backbox but they're all so expensive and i don't really have a clue which one would fit or anything so i think i need to get onto that really.

Good luck with the car, it's looking really nice.

Hey Rory,

Thanks, I think it looks sweet too!

Yeah, our cars are very similar and no, it doesn't seem as though you're copying me at all. Lol!

Your Speedlines look in really good condition compared to mine from your pictures. Mine are badly scratched which is why I am going to get them restored asap. Plus, I think a valve is leaking air so I will need that sorting too.

56 quid is steep but I would say that every penny you spent on them was worth it but, I think I may leave them off mine as I am worried as to whether they will fade in colour because, if they did soon after I put them on, I would feel ripped off in a way.

I got my clear indicators off ebay. I don't know if you have looked on ebay for Starlet stuff but you can drop on some good bargains. As for lowering it, I didn't want to bother doing that with mine as I think it looks low enough. I may get a front spliter to give it the illusion that it looks lower than it is though. It is quite expensive to lower it but you may be able to get what you need off ebay to do it if you know what you're looking for. As for a back box, I got a friend to fit mine and he ordered the part for me too. It will be well worth looking in to it for prices and things at garages as they can advise you on what is best to get.

I don't know if you seem to have the same problem as me but black cars are terrible to keep clean! Lol!
