I never even thought to think that haha. I wonder if the previous owner changed them, he was meticulous with the detail and spent a fortune on this car...

He very well could have. ;)

I bought a new folding mirror switch & a new emergency hazard switch for my old Impreza when I had it from eBay in order to replace the worn originals, ...they still worked but the markings had worn off slightly so it looked cr*p imo.

Geometry done today over at Wheels in Motion, great set up and bunch of guys there - anyway turns out the toe in was quite bad on the front, so would have eaten through my front tyres pretty quickly. Anyway all sorted now and in great shape.

Full billeted and anodized, no stickers to be seen!

Can you drift it though is the real question? :shrug::teeth:

 

Looks good, ...need a picture of it in the engine bay though to see how good it really looks. ;)

Got hold of some high temperature matt black paint and painted the turbo heatshield which needed some TLC.

I also ordered some M1 Gtechniq metal polish, it is safe on chrome as well as many other metals and cleaned up the strut braces, they came up great! Never using Autosol again :lol:

 

...and it was lovely and warm, so waited for the sun to pass behind the house so could clean the car in the shade ;)

Ace Cafe last night, starting to grow on me the black roof it does look better in the flesh than a photo captures. Plenty of positive comments last night.

I am still umming and urring about the roof, I think it needed to be gloss black not satin :wacko: wondering if its something I could do on my own rather not fork out to get it done professionally again...

Took the old chrome badges off the back, fair bit of adhesive back there, but got it away in the end. Have sprayed the badges matte black, but do I put them back or not? To badge or not to badge, that is the question...?

Tbh I like the de-badged look although the "GT-FOUR" badge is pretty special. B)

 

What about getting the "Toyota" badge off the back as well?

 

Think it would look much better with them all off tbh. ;)
