well i decided to have a bit of a change, was planning on something different but then i stumbled across another corolla! lol 02 t3 corolla, 75,000 miles with a full service history and really tight and sound! so tell us whatcha think! sorry about the crappy pic quality!

here's the old rolla

started detailing on saturday, got her de-tarred and clay barred and am waiting for my new polisher to arrive so we can start the paint correction! :thumbsup:

this was the average result on the claybar after each panel, 8 years worth of stuck on grime and crap! :S

not bad considering there has been no polishing done yet!

so went and ordered myself a set of gmax 40mm springs and got them fitted today! massive thanks to the how to guide on this forum! :thumbsup:

beautifful car!, love the colour :), looks very tidy and clean

ive got a 5 door 2003 t3 for my first car and im only 17 lol

dont mind the colour of mines, i thinks its different and unique (its blue/grey)

i want a rear boot spoiler exactly like yours? need to find one some where

yours looks so much better now that its lowered

the BBS wheels look nice in my opinion

i will love to keep updated with your car and its process

great car again

definately the bbs. if you dont mind mate id like to ask about the springs you used cos right now im in the middle of choosing a lowering spring/wheel setup for my car too. are the 40mm g-max springs comfy still compared to standard or shall i go for a slightly less 35mm drop in order to retain ride quality?

hello mate!

yea well ive only had them in for a day now so theyre still settling but so far im really impressed with the gmax springs! ride comfort is still great imo, yes you feel the bumps but not in any bouncy/harsh way!

hope this helps!

and thanks for all the nice comments guys! cant wait to get a nice set of wheels and they will really set her off! :thumbsup:

first off 'corollavvti' could you not have just replied rather than quoting, really bugs me when i have to scroll down through the same pics because someone didnt just go into 'reply'....

lovely car lad, very clean looking, she will settle bit by bit over the next 2 weeks,

for me it would have to be the belinies on the ibiza, east coast alloys job for you there, the wheel works perfectly on a dark car and with a light tint the car will look fcuking class, best of luck with it :thumbsup:

Looks good with the lowering job, i'd go for the bbs wheels out of the ones you've got there.

sorry havent updated in a while but here is a picture filled one! :lol:

got my self a new silverline rotary and started a bit of a detail on the rolla, was pretty cautious using the rotary for the first time tbh :unsure: so i used a pretty light cut to take out surface swirls and blemishes and left the deeper stuff to another time in the future! heres some before and afters!

before pretty swirly

100_0911-1.jpg

afters quite a bit better still some deeper marks but i just played it safe! :rolleyes:

100_0917-1.jpg

so then after a bit of a clean up i bit the bullet and got myself a new set of wheels!

kei racing fuji 17" really happy with them and think they really set the car off well!

100_0927-1.jpg

and then after all that i decided to have a bit of a photoshoot with a mate!

100_0931-1.jpg
