Front: Rays Gram Lights 57S 17"x8.5" +30 with 215/45 Falken RT610
Rear: Rays Volk TE37 17"x9" +22 with 235/45 Kumho KU36

New thermostat - yet to be fitted
TRD Radiator Cap - yet to be fitted
Replacement Door handle bezels - yet to be fitted
TRD Numberplate bolts - yet to be fitted

Next steps:
1. Get Rego 28-04-2012
2. Get License back 01-05-2012
3. Springs fitted and fronts reset to 60mm drop - TBA
4. Roll rear guards if need be
5. fit misc mods (little things)
 
On the weekend I fitted the new rims, did an oil change and gave her a bath.

I think its the 45 profile tyres that makes them look huge

Thanks guys.

All credits for detailing would have to go to George, an absolute maniac of a detailer, the day I saw the car and the day I picked it up was spotless. In the 5 weeks it spent being stored in my garage it had some dust collected.
To wash it this round I used Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax and polished using Ultimate Polish with W0004 Foam Applicators buffing off using microfibre clothes.
 
Regarding wheels size, yeap, the tyres are massive, which I like because A. It's funtional and B. comfortable.
 
I am currently contemplating whether to fit front abd back springs and re-set the front springs to be a 60mm drop or just fit the front springs for a 40mm drop and keep the rear hieght as is.

Another big day for Mister 2 :)

Rego - Tick!


Old Side indicators


Clear Side indicators


Old door bezels


New door bezels


and after rego touch:



Next up: Tuesday I get my license and pick up new plates:
[XSW20X]

Wednesday:
Radiator flush, new thermostat and pipe and FINALLY springs put in.

After Rohan driving it today, we realised that the rears would be sitting in the tyre if I lower any more, so keeping to functional approach, I'm only lowering the front. I will still need to roll the rear guards on stock height!!!

Great looking car!!
 
For the door handle bezels, try to source the original tapered head screw, it sits flush with the plastic.
 
Cheers
