QUOTE (Urputus @ Mar 27, 2012 - 4:07 PM)   Thanks mate.This year or the other, it doesn't matter. One day you have to come, and I hope it would be because of some Celica meet Good luck with the university. Thank you, I will need the luck.  I still plan on moving back to Switzerland when I graduate, so sooner or later I'll make it to a meet. Maybe with GT-4, if there are still good examples to be found at that point.

Yesterday I had a holiday as I was expecting delivery of my new tires. So there was some time to work on my Celi and take some pictures.
  New tires need new rims. As I'm pretty satisfied with my rims, I decided only for the colour change. I think, that the shiny black colour suits to the red paint on my car, so this is the result. Can't wait to see it on my car      Ehm... the rims should use some polishing

QUOTE (kurt95gt @ Mar 28, 2012 - 3:52 PM) Celi looks awsome How hard was the hood to modify to match the bumper Thanks man! I left the body-work on an expert, therefore it was very easy for me . But from communication with him I know it was quite hard, as there are two layers of aluminum. You can't easily cut into the aluminum hood or weld other piece of aluminum to it to extend the hood. It is also risky to extend the edge of the front bumper, because the extended part may crack then, when closing the hood. That's why he used just hammer So the answer is, that it must have been difficult to fit the hood with the front bumper like this. It doesn's fit "perfectly" but it fits "very well". And I'm pretty sure he did maximum that he could and I'm very satisfied with the result. |

Why not, man? If you know some good bodyman, he may do it well or more - he may find some better solution

The spring finally arrived to Czech Republic, so I changed the wheels and I'm happy with the result. Only the car was quite dirty as I had no time to wash and wax it, so I was glad I have forgotten my DSLR at home
   I also ordered red aluminum wheel nuts (not installed yet) and received the branded kick panels from Vincent (already installed, thanks )

looks great.
don't forget the tire shine when you wash and wax. especially with black rims, you want the tires to look as good as the rims.

Thanks to all, folks!
The body man was really skillful - nothing was cut out from the hood. Just a lot of precise hammering and some grinding And the color - it took me a few months to find the right one for my project. I saw it on one Lexus ISF and the searching was over
