Cirusdny '00 Starvan Corolla

[CirusDny]

lool

I can almost imagine you sliping bubble wrap...xD

I've already been searching for the best way to do the job and some told me about those products you told me... I'm gonna see if I can get some here... Others say that black spray tint applied with a sponge also does the job but I don't know...

Thanks mate... The spark for the car came back again...

Hello,

first, sorry for posting to your thread CirusDny.

I am from Hungary and I absolutely new here in toc, until this moment I was just a reader. The reason why I have to post is the grill what you swapped Cirus. I am looking for it too!! But nor in Hungary and neither on eBay I did not find this G6 grill. Where from you get that? Please help!

Btw, my car: https://soiq2w.dm1.livefilestore.com/y1pfEVx0OX7jh94soHoIcl87eQRho90asaL8hAPuIPGAH6ZkzWmd0n_pqQb_1_j3AJFN-yx-xDNTj6Z-au9c3cz8aHZvTr2jdp2/20121020231.jpg?psid=1

Hey there...

Well I also looked on eBay and in Portugal and USA but I couldn't find it also...

I joined TOC because I saw on google a pic of a member here (Steven) and I loved his car so I joined and talked with him. He did a mod (red light dash) that I'm also doing so I asked him advice.

After some conversation he told me he had this G6R grill for sale and I bought to him...

You can try talking with him to see if he can get another... He has good relationship with Toyota dealers in the UK so I think it's better if you talk to him and see if he can get you one...

I can't see you car by the way... :s

Get some pictures up with what products you used - alot of the SR wheels go the same so itll be nice to have a guide on how to refurb them :)

Re the stalk, you need to remove the steering collumn covers, then 2 screws to remove the indicator stalk. Once the the stalks removed you need to take the clear cover off and remove the 3 screws holding the unit together. The unit with unclip apart then but be carefull as theres springs in there that need to be transfered onto the stalk i gave you. Youll see what i mean when you take it apart :)

Hi mate,

As said above, i managed to strip a salvaged SR of all these parts and bruno had it off me.

They are VERY hard to get hold of and sell for strong money when they do. They dont come up for sale often as very few toyotas were sold with them.

I have built up contacts here in the uk, germany, and hungry. Im always looking for these parts as there is a high demand for them. If i should find another i shall let you know, but they sell VERY quick when i get hold of them. Ive only ever got hold of two grills in over a year

[Funkii]

Is's sad :( But thanks your reply Steven. I did not even think, it is so hard to find.

[CirusDny]

That would be better. Maybe he can get you one...

Looks nice... You already got the lip... I don't... lool

[Funkii]

Yeah, the lip was the last one in an official toyota dealership :D

Everything has a begining ;)

[CirusDny]

Good cars start stock soo... xD

ok, so finally here's a pic of my Corolla with the SR wheel that I've got from Mr. Steven here...

What do you think?!

Now about how I've done it...

MATERIAL:

• 
  [li]Alcool[/li]
  [li]Smoth Sponge[/li]
  [li]Smoth cloth[/li]
  [li]Lether Tint[/li]
  [li]Hair Dryer[/li]
  

Soo the wheel was like this:

1 - CLEANING

First clean the Steering Wheel very well with the smoth cloth with some alcool in it to remove dust, stains, and any dirt the wheel has.

Don't put your hand on the wheel after you clean it so that it won't get dirt from your fingers and hands on it.

2: PREPARATION

Dive the sponge in water to clean it (use a NEW sponge) and remove some loose fibers from it.

Squash the sponge some times until it sucks water. When the sponge sucks the water than take it out of it and take all the water off the sponge. Let it dry some time until it has no water.

3: PAINTING

Now to paint it I used this tint I found in a store near my house.

Now, to paint the steering wheel, do it in a dust free place because dust can get stuck in the paint and the final result would have some "bumps" in it...

Try not to put too much tint in the sponge. I used the sponge to paint the wheel because it leaves less traces than a brush.

First do a pass in the hole steering wheel with the sponge with tint and then start spreeding the tint with small circular movements until the painting is uniform.

Let it dry for 10 minutes and then you can use the air dryer at a medium temperature at about 30cm from the steering wheel to help dry the tint faster.

After that let it dry for about 1 hour and repeat the process until you have the desired color and result.

WARNING: this tint dryes fast so do the passages fast so that it won't dry with you still doing the circular passages because you can start to rip the tint that is already a little dry.

Now let the steering wheel dry for about 48hours if your impatiente or for 1 week to be secure.

After finished you get something like this:

Airbag

I hope this guide helps someone...

[Steven252]

WOW!!

That came out fantastic!! Youve done a real good job to that

Looks great on the car, they look sooo much better than the lower spec wheel :)
