Evening all. As in the title, I'm having my wheels powder-coated in the next few weeks & I'm toying with the idea of these valves. I like the thought of a smoother look on the wheels but just wondered if they're a pain to use or if there's any other problems I need to be aware of. Cheers

Doesn't matter bud. She was having a major clear out & found them under a box in the kitchen cupboard! They were definitely safe there!!

That'll do me bud. Can you send me your paypal thingy again & I'll get cash off to you over the weekend. On this same topic, does anyone have an accurate pic or diagram of EXACTLY what leds need replaced? Fankoo

How much for a set to do the guage cluster bud? The wife put the set I got from you previously away in a safe place & now she can't find them!! Don't get much safer than that I suppose!!

I think you'll find that louder than 82db is legally "too loud" if the plod hear it or your mot guy's an arse!

Mook can do you Toyota logos or Celica dragon stickers to go on the caps mate. I got them for mine when I painted them & they really set them off &

Just wanted to get some opinions on this folks. I'm toying with getting my wheels powder coated come Spring & was swinging towards white. However, I put a photoshop request up & thanks to Hodephinitley, I'm no longer sure! He did them in Bronze, Gold & White so what do you folks think? Again, a big thanks to hodephinitley for making it a tougher decision than I thought http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/uploads/monthly_11_2014/post-46582-0-19054500-1415180998.jpg

I'm 54 & have spent the last 30 odd years buying & driving family friendly 4 door cars, due to the fact of having 2 kids( now grown up) & 5 grandkids( NOT so grown up). This is the first car I've bought PURELY for me & I have to say, it rocks my world. Bonus is, the grandkids (and the wife!) love it too so happy days. I work in Logistics for a Bosch Group company, btw, certainly not an office & the Celi gets driven like she should. I look at the redline as a guide on when to change gear!!

Mine's nicknamed Kuro. It's a Japanese translation for black (one of them!)

Just had me a set of them^^^^ Cheers for the link bud

I got mine in Sept 2012 & she still puts a smile on my face every time I get in her! She gone through a few minor changes since I got her(mainly wheels) but she's nearly exactly how I want her. I'm going to get the current wheels powder coated shortly a nice bright silver, tidy up the paintwork & she'll be done (I hope!) Dec 2012 May 2013 Aug 2013 And how she sits now

OOoft, it's not as bad as in that pic thankfully! First coat of lacquer is now on & looking good

Mine's Astral black guys & I've rubbed it back now so no going back! Looks & feels pretty smooth so I'm going with the lacquer tomorrow. I did go through the paint a little on one edge(right where it'll touch the bonnet) so it's been resprayed & rubbed back again. I'm not even sure if it would've been visible when fitted but I'm taking no chances! All good this time Thanks again for the input. Pics will follow when it's done, hopefully Thursday( Scottish weather permitting)

Cheers mate, gentle rubbing it is then

Perfect mate. I've got 2000 grit paper so that's the way to go. Cheers for the quick answer, I'll get on that now

I'm in the process of painting my sports-m scoop from ray & i'm looking for a few pointers. It's had 4 coats of primer, been rubbed down with 1200 grit wet & dry, & now had 4 coats of base coat. The question is, do I rub down again before applying the lacquer? It's got a bit of an orange peely look at the moment but I'm worried that if I rub down, it'll make the paint a bit dull. Will the lacquer restore the shine? Should I apply the lacquer THEN rub down before the compounding & waxing? sorry if these are newbie questions but I've only ever painted wheels before & tbh, I wasn't too fussed about the finish. This time, I want it to look spot on. Cheers folks

Self tappers & paint for my sports-m scoop oooo & my new tax disc

Or get mook to make you up a new sticker!

That's beautiful

Ditto for mook. He'll do you custom graphics without ripping you off. The guy's a gent & does excellent work!

Skirts maybe?

^^^ I wanna see that!!!^^^^

Drop links are the same ones I've got on mine bud so they should be ok if they're fitted right! As prevoiusly said, nothing major in that list. I think my brake shoes were about £18 on ebay last year so not hellish expensive.

I've got a black 3 post spoiler in my wardrobe!!! you can have for nowt bud. I live in Fife so I could meet you somewhere instead of posting. It's not the greatest but with a little tlc it'll be good as new. Let me know if you want it & we'll sort something out ^mm grommets you need btw. (6mm internal, 9mm external like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RUBBER-GROMMETS-6-9-12-16-20-25-32-38-50mm-1-4-3-8-1-2-5-8-1-2-cable-/281026511967?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Electrical_Fittings_MJ&var=&hash=item416e7c445f )
