My first car; a 2005 Corolla Sportivo!


Recommended Posts


Today i'm attempting to wrap my roof lmao, with my mate it's still not an easy job but for $45 it's a fun learning experience anyway. Any advice would be appreciated too!
Yes i am lazy and didn't want to take the antenna off, i'm just going to cut around it don't judge me

Ended up accidentally ripping the roof wrap near my antenna and didn't have enough to redo it, so instead of re-wrapping the roof i found other things to wrap 

My mirror covers aswell as my mates' SV6's aswell 13441887_1223775917642066_335712576_o.jpg

The completed wrap, looks mad :)13410859_1223775760975415_94057867_o.jpg

Now finally onto installing my wingtips, i sanded them back and repainted them today as my paintjob wasn't what i hoped for. They are alot better now though!


This is a before photo without the tips13441791_1223775577642100_624630238_o.jpg


The wingtips aren't as glossy as they appear in the photo, not sure why it came out like that but yeah

Final product

Really happy with how they look to be honest, definitely one of my favourite purchases so far.

Engine bay with the Celica Cover, i've ordered an Injen Spark cover and it will hopefully be here within the next few weeks.

Nicely done! If you keep the car long enough I reckon you will probably get bored and the mod bug will bite and again you will be upgrading things on a already beautiful ride

Cheers guys, wasn't trying to say it's finished but it's just going to be a bit harder now.

So since attempting to change my foglight bulbs today to my new LED ones, they foglights dont work anymore. I tried them with the old bulbs and they still don't work so it's not the bulbs that are the issue. Any advice on what could be the issue? I looked for the fuse in the box but there isnt a fuse labelled foglight. Will test bulbs some way i suppose.

So today i got around to painting my brake calipers, i only had enough time to do the fronts today as i had to learn how to take it apart and put it back together. All though it was really simple and ill get the rear ones done in half the time, i did really enjoy doing this. Just listened to some music and spend some quality modding time with my stivo. 

So i started with these rusty slotted brake discs. I took off all the paint using WD40 and a wire brush, was a bit monotonous but the end product was absolutely worth it.

After some WD40, a wire brush, a bit of primer and some lush gloss black paint;

And then onto my calipers!

And my final product, not the most flattering photo i know but the difference in them is fantastic.

Surely my custom plates and spark plug cover arrives soon??

How the stivo is currently sitting at the moment, wish my iphone took better photos as this would have been perfect if not for the kind of fuzziness. Photoshoot soon though with a good friend of mine!
New additions as of late;
- Bridgestone decals on my tyres, Yokohama r1's all the way around
- Rubber Lip 
- Bonnet Protector 
- New plates KEEPMIRIN the stivo ;)
- Still waiting on front splitters, have ordered carbon fibre ones and will update soon enough
- wrapping foglights in yellow vinyl soon
- Still waiting on my spark plug cover as it was being custom made, estimated ship date of august 4th

Cheers guys, hope everyone's doing well!

The photo isn't uploading, ill have to figure out another way sorry guys.

Why do you have Bridgestone decals on Yokohama tyres?

I won them in a competition, doesn't really matter as most people won't look that close. Couldn't justify spending an extra 200 bucks on potenzas on a car i'm not tracking

Why is the photo upload size only 0.16mb now, i swear i've uploaded larger files and i cant compress my photo's that far without them looking bin.

Because you have used your allocated space(which isn't much) on the forum server. You will need to use a photo storage site like Photobucket and post the links.

Be careful with bonnet protectors. Had one on mine and it scratched the paint where the mount points are.

A suggestion from a mate was to get some clear wrap and wrap the bonnet to stop it from it wrecking the paint.

I've got these little things that are meant to stop that from happening but i will take your advice, it should only be like 70 bucks too which is mad. Cheers man.

I thought it may work like that, thanks mate.

New Projectors retrofitted and had another amplifier installed underneath my passenger seat.
My eyelids and Wingtips are currently being repainted and they look absolutely fantastic! Will update once they're on tommorow!

Awesome effort with the rolla man! Rather jealous of white tivos. Recently did coilovers myself just to fix old original struts but now the mod bug has bitten *sigh.
