[CraigB]

Alrite Lads,

I have just bought my first ever car which is a Toyota Corrolla T3 5DR 1.6 VVT-I, its a 54 plate,Black, i am just wondering what i could spend on it to make it look sportier.

All ideas will be fantastic.

Cheers Lads.

well you could get a tsport rear spoiler for the car?

If you have got the money, get a set of T-sport alloys or simular ones. You could also get a chrome exhaust finisher.

Any pictures of the t sport alloys and exhaust chrome ? How much would each be. How much also would the spoiler be ? Were could you get all these from. Cheers

Try popping here. http://www.tte.de/cm_corolla_E12_Facelift.htm

All can be bought from main Toyota Dealers :)

does anybody know anywere that i could go and look at for a new spoiler and wheels, around the manchester area ?

[-T- Sport]

The only decent spoiler I've seen is the TTE one, Which you can get from Toyota Dealerships or maybe eBay if you're lucky.

Wheels are probably best buying online. Try http://www.alloywheels.com or http://www.topgear.co.uk Both have Fianne options if need be and I think there's a TopGear showroom not too far from Manchester.

cheers t sport. what do i need to do to get a spoiler then just go into a local toyota dealership, how much we looking at around ?

[-T- Sport]

I'm not too sure on the Price but I'm sure someone will help you out with that.

Just wander straight in to Toyota and ask for one. They'll give you a price. They costs a pretty penny but atleast you know it's the real deal and not some fibreglass / cheap plastic kack that'll break on you.

[CraigB]

ok, would you say around ninety pound ?

[-T- Sport]

Well over £100 mate, Especially if you want it colour coded to your car too.

[CraigB]

ok, if you have a spoiler on would this affect my insurance ?

[-T- Sport]

Any part added after factory spec will. Some companies wont even go near you if it's your first car / under 21.

I remember when I was 19 asked Sainsburys if I could add Sideskirts to my Peugeot 206 and they point blank refused.

im 18 i got a corolla....iv modified it got a tte front lip, all the side bodys etc back, stainless steel exhaust i aint told my insurance a thing im with tesco 1 accident not my fault repaired no fuss. The next tim some woman hit my mirror not my fault again she paid out they made no fuss on any thing.

As they are original factory parts....they wont raelly mind and you could get away i suppose if you are going aftermarket be careful.just get original stuff say you bought the car like that and thats it as for exhaust just let them know. Say the exhaust on car damaged had it changed aftermarket thats it aslong as you havent got a big bore and something simple you should be fine telling them.

Main thing dont make it look like a riced up corsa...and they wont bug you. Lastly alloys...ermm declare...keep your old ones in an event of an accident get car recovered and SENT HOME CHANGE THE alloys TO ORIGINALS THATS WAT I DID WEN I GOT HIT LOL.

[farhanali89]

Another thing spray it yourself. I did my lip and fitted it on my self its not that ahrd im terrible with spray paint but its quite easy look to buy a used one its already been painted then just paint over i did that no laquer rubbish etc LOL

[CraigB]
