Well as everyone should know by now, on May 12/3 I sold my Celica and I purchased a 2002 ST246 N-Edition Caldina in Japan.
Anyway, the car got to the compliance workshop last Tuesday and is in the final phases of the import process.
A few shots of the car at the docks in Japan:




At the moment the car is waiting for our Government to make the Compliance Plate (A bit of metal that indicates the car is legally imported). Which may take 1-3 weeks... While that waits I am getting a few things fixed up so she should be sweet for delivery and roadworthy!

Yesterday I finally got a chance to remove my stock bumper and install the TRD bumper. It looks way better than the stock one and also isn't cracked like the stock one is.
Stock:


The car looks sort of sad without a front bumper lol:


The bumper just after unwrapping from the "Genuine Kia Parts" bubble wrap.


First mount but no mounting screws installed:



Screws installed and number plates installed:


And finally, the final product:
