Corolla E12 By Noedel

So, let's update this thread a little more! Been a long while, lots of things happened

Let's start.

The faded grey front bumper has been treated with a plastic restorer. Here's the result.

Before

After

Went to some car meets

Found some pre-facelift taillights. Mine are infected with mould on the inside, because of some leaks. I've cleaned the new ones, and put a waterproof silicone kit around the edges. Also soldered the wiring, because there is 1 brake bulb less in them.

Before winter I've put the civic back to original, so it's "safe" for winter :)

Some weeks ago I've installed the 4-2-1 header.

Also found a US rear bumper in the Netherlands. It was a 6 hour drive but it was worth it :)

Last week I've bought myself a new set of wheels for winter. They are in very good shape, only thing to do is make custom center caps :)

Yesterday I've been collecting some stuff to complete the rear muffler piping. Install will be for within 2 weeks I hope.

And last but not least I've made myself an extra rear fog light, because the US rear bumper hasn't got any fog lights.

So this fog light will be installed with a bracket underneath the bumper for MOT and winter :)

And oh yea, the civic also has got a new bigger radiator and a new thermostat, because of some temperature issues.

That's it for now!

Some new things about the civic :)

Bought a rare OEM armrest

Got some oldschool winter wheels

New LED reverse light bulbs

New pre-facelift taillights (with red tinted reverse light), and a new sized license plate, to fit the coming US rear bumper

Made myself a wind fairing from plexi

Bought an extra front bumper. It will be smoothed and have a respray together with the US rear bumper.

Said goodbye to winter 2 weeks ago. Lowered the civic again, switched wheels and installed a new set of amber corners

Installed some extra reflectors on the sides of the bumpers. They are a little bit brighter, but I like it!
