Hi there.
Been looking thru the forum and I must say you guys have some AWSOME Celica's. Really impressed with some of the results I've seen with the different mods you've all used. I'm from Spain and don't yet own a Celica but planing on owning one real soon. AFAIK it has the Veilside front bumper already installed. I'll attach a pic and you could maybe verify it for me. I've been looking up and down the net at different things and there's a few mods I'd like to do to it myself when I get it. It's a silver 1999 1.8 115CV Celica, think from the last batch of the 6gen if I'm not mistaken. KM's on the clock is in the 96.000 range so not too many KM's done on it for a 10yr old car. Bein a Japanese car and knowing that the owner has looked after it, I know it's a good buy for 3.000 euro. The mods I'd like to make to it are: - The full Veilside body kit (having the front bumper installed already makes it a "cheap" upgrade, nicedeals.co.uk has the rest of the body kit at a very reasonable price, 189 pounds for the Veilside rear bumper and they ship world wide) - Afterburner tail lights - 17" rims - Blue underbody LED strips - Sport exhaust (if possible to simulate the Supra's sound from The Fast & The Furious) - Interior blue neons - Angel eyes or some type of mod to the front lights - Modify the front bumper to fit Knight Rider LED scanners in blue - Side decall from the Supra in The Fast& The Furious - Minor interior mods (pedals, seat covers, gear lever, etc) with Sparco parts - Koni shocks to lower the car maybe 3 or 4 cm Some of the mods are expensive I know, but a Celica is worth it As far as the front lights, i wanted to ask your advise. Here in Spain I've never seen a Celica with Angel Eyes or any type of modified front lights and seen very few with the Afterburner rear lights. I've seen you all write about JDM lights and projectors and clear lights and stuff and wanted to ask your advise as to what would be the best looking. I'm guessin the "projector" lights are like the "side lights" that are part of the to outer lights of the car (low beam are they??? ) and can be put installed in any colour buld or LED set and are activated separate from the low beam lights??? I do kinda like the Angel Eye effect on cars but don't know how they'd look on a silver Celica or if they'd even be allowed. I also like how your cars look with the clear lamps rather than the normal "dull" lamps it has. For the Afterburner lights, I've been reading that you have to choose where to put the reverse light and the fog light as it doesn't cater for them??? How would that be done?? Anyone who has them and could give me some insight as to how to do it?? Last question (sorry for bein a pain in the butt lol) is in regards of the front bumper. I've read the "How to" you have here on the site and was wondering if it would be the same process to remove the Veilside bumper?? I want to make two cuts of 36x2 cm in it between the head lamps to the fit some meshing at the back of the cuts and install the Knight Rider scanners some how behind the meshing. Also, any idea on how to remove the rear bumper??? Any insight as to how to make some of the mods, mod recommendations and opinions are all very welcome. Also any recommendations on where to buy the parts I'm after (Specifically the Afterburner tail lights and the front lamps). Next I'll attach the 2 pics I have of the car I'm wanting to buy so maybe someone can confirm the front bumper is in fact the Veilside bumper. Thanks in advance to everyone!! |
