New To Forum, Also Can I Fit A Bike Rack To A Gen 7

[longers]

Hi, Just bought an 04 celica 140, picking it up on thursday and I cant wait!!! Thought I'd introduce myself to the forum.

Also I'm hoping to find out if I can fit a bike rack of some sort to the car.

Also the dealers tried to sell me a supaguard paintwork protection thing when I bought it, I havent said yes or no to it yet, is it worth it in you opinion?

Many thanks in advance

SupaGuard, probably only worth it if your paint work is currently pristine to very good. Although Toyota paint does chip easily, so may be worth it anyway... How much is it?

As for bike racks - I've done a quick google on it, and it looks like the way forwards is to have a Roof Rack, a short roof extenstion, and some roof mount bike racks... (a la: http://www.autorack.co.uk/bike_racks.php). I did find one US company that thought they could do it with a boot rack, but it didn't look particularly good to be honest...

Oh, and welcome along, and enjoy your stay here :) Get some pics up when you got hold of the new motor - we're always interested to see!

Oh, try giving these guys a call... http://www.car-roofracks.co.uk/cgi-bin/sel..._racks_bars.cgi. Looks like they have everything you need, and seem to know a bit about it all!

When I got my first Celica they threw in the Supaguard thingy but it was a waste of time for me because I polish my cars that often

Welcome to the club by the way

Thanks for the replies. Yeah think I'll give the supaguard thing a miss then especially at £400!

Picking it up tomorrow, can not wait!!!
