Hi. Have been a member for a little while but have been a bit slack on adding some photos.

Not a lot of mods done yet...changed standard grill to colour coded grill, 17" Advanti Medusa rims, high rise spoiler and side tattoes.

Next step hopefully is lowering her.

Added a JVC KW-XG706 head unit and got a bit bored, so...since all the other badges on the camry sportivo are black I painted the chrome badge on the grill black too and put in some red mesh.

Finally got around to painting my brake calipers red too. :D

After 5 yrs some parts were starting to look a little tattered and scratched (especially with kids in the car :D )....so resprayed in satin black...centreconsole, armrest inserts and door sills. While I was there decided the front speaker inserts wouldnt look too bad black to so gave them a couple coats too. :P

Sportivo sports muffler on its way too....so hope to have that on in a few days.

I debadged the camry sportivo today. The VVT-i badges are gone from both front panels and all except the toyota symbol on the boot.

Not sure tho...i do like the Sportivo badge and was thinking of maybe putting it back on but central. Under the number plate or something. Not sure.

Wot be you guys opinions??? :D

Ok...I think I have an addiction to moding things on my car. :(

Day off so decided to pull out the full centre console and paint the whole thing instead of half of it. :P

:o Mate things have changed, lol. My grill arrived at my local Toyota dealer painted and ready to fit for $175.

Straight fit. Its exactly the same as our original grill.

Toyota told me the grill emblems dont come in black so i took it off, sanded it down and painted it. :D

Cool...when u get your eyelids on post some photos.

A few updates. Attached front and rear slimline visors and modified the parcel shelf for new speakers. Really happy with the results :-).

Sure hope i NEVER have to go through pulling the parcel shelf out again though. What a job!!!!

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks

      2007 - Floor mat

      Hi. I have a nice 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 4 speed automatransmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed automatic transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.
