Where To Buy Bits And Bobs.

January 11, 2011

Okay, so sticking with exterior first, which is what I am currently working on having made sure all the ins bits are okay. (Wish me good luck on that one.)

Where can you find things to do up the outside of a rav 95? I found only a few places online. I have looked at scrap places locally to no avail. I found a direct 4x4 site and formula 4x4 site, but that is about it. I have yet to purchase anything.

I thought I ordered the angel eye lights in charcoal black, however, I was informed today they are not in stock anymore and discontinued. At least they updated their site after my refund.

The angel eyes may be available from USA. Generally parts are available in USA and Australia so have a look there. Mind that the Customs people may well charge you for importing anything.

In the UK, you may find things like wheel arch extensions from a scrappy. Side steps and rear step can be made easily by a stainless steel or mild steel metal bender company (I used a kitchen fabrication yard to bend the metal to the shape I wanted for £20 as they only used off-cuts).

Extra front lights anywhere. New horns anywhere. alloys are plentiful.

On external bodywork, you will need to fabricate most things yersel. Items from later RAVs up to 2000 might fit.

i did get 1 set of angel eyes for 1 car from eBay but to be honest they have been almost more bother than they are worth.

Ahh yes, I read how you had the steps done. I might try that one.

I may leave the lights then for now.

What about light guards for the front headlights, I can find none around. although I am searching specifically for my car. Should I perhaps include cars up to 2000?
