What's up y'all. New on this form.

I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla ZZE122R-AEMDKQ Conquest SEDAN 1ZZ-FE

Yes I know on my info page it says I have a 2004 but it's 2003 and I can't be stuffed finding a way to change it.

So, here are a few questions I would appreciate if anyone could clarify.

Why does my Corolla look different to other corollas I find on the internet? They're the same year and model. I believe thsi is due to ours being a Jap/Aus model, while the one you commonly see on the internet is an ASEAN version or something (Looked up Wikipedia). Can anyone confirm this? Notice how the tail lights and head lights are different.

Also, I've noticed that the badging on my corolla is different. Like how the 'Conquest' is right after the 'Toyota' and not below the 'Corolla'. I bought the car new and it came like that. Pictures are right below:

So recently my car got rammed as I was reversing out of a carpark, and due to certain incompetent insurance companies, I was unable to claim money to fix my car, therefore I have to resort to paying for it myself. Picutres:

I'm thinking of getting a body kit. Yes I realize that they are useless and have little or no aerodynamic advantage to the car etc. but the panel beaters and smash repairers charge wayyyyyyyyyyy too much. Which is why I'm planning to get it online.

However, all the body kits online are for the ASEAN model or something. I have not yet found one for my car. What worries me most is that whether or not the front bumper would fit or not. Also issues with the grill as there is a slight bump on the hood above the toyota badge on my car. And also, the headlight issue which I noticed which may or may not exist:

And I'm a bit concerned about how the back will fit too:

If this is not the right body kit for my car then can someone redirect me to a website that has body kits that will definitely fit my car? OEM or sport is fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

your car's the same as the Aus and Japan cars. A lot of the kits you will find online come from ricers in the US and that's why they look different. The US market gets the different lights etc.

Search Yahoo Japan etc for kits.

Welcome it is good to see another sedan :toast::toast: If you are looking for a body kit there are the sportivo side skirts and front lip availble from your toyota dealer that will fit . the rear skirt the best way is to get a corolla wagon rear skirt 01 -04 cost a couple of months ago was $495 and then with some modifying it will fit. you can get a different grill like c one or trd that will fit .check around the site here . Have a look in the members section for different ideas for the sedan.Eyelids can also be added for effect. My sedan had the badge under the corolla and it is a 2005 but i took it off. You can also take the side strips off as well for a cleaner look.

Don't really like the Sportivo front bumpers.. As for the rear skirt, what kind of modifications will need to be done?

For my sedan the spraypainter cut a portion out of the rear skirt and it was then put back together again and spraypainted perfect fit and you cannot see the join and it is great.This was done at the same time i had the door trims , rear garnish and the c one front grill spraypainted .and the ascent badge taken off.

Well you could get the TRD mesh grill, alternatively there's the Levin &/or Sportivo chrome or painted surround. Looks a million times better than the stock black plastic.

you're not looking very hard then. Plenty of kits to suit the pre-facelift on Yahoo Japan, eg Wald etc

So I went to the Japan Yahoo and typed in Toyota Corolla 2003 body kit, the Wald thing, Toyota Corolla Fielder body kit, etc. :blink:

None of them make much sense, and I don't know how to navigate aroudn the pages because I don't read Japanese.

If they're plenty of commercial body kits out there, could you send me links to a few of those please?

      ‘97 Petrol 6 cyl ‘80 Series knocking/rattle below

      Hi, Ive just joined, so Hello! I have had a knocking/rattle sound for a couple of months, sounds like a loose panel/body moving on chassis. Mechanic checked all this and i was told it is a loose baffle in fuel tank. Still makes noise when main tank is half full. Has anyone else had or heard of this issue please? Of course I’ll get another mechanics opinion before any major decisions, but my research shows so far that i have a BIG, expensive problem getting it fixed/replaced. Has anybody else dealt with this particular problem please?

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      I,m pretty sure they run an external voltage regulator, mounted on the side in the engine bay, its been a while now so I'm not sure if the original had points inside which pit, stick and so on. Get yourself a fully sealed electronic one from the wreckers, as chances are someone has updated to cure symptoms like you are having, even one from another Toyota model eg Corona, will do, If yours is the original it will have a big black top on it, No more problems This is what you need; Buy Jaylec Voltage Reg 12V Denso Ext 026000-4050/4051/4070 For Toyota In589 15-867 Online | Rolan Australia

      DIY Update GPS Maps on Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017

      Hi everyone, I own a 2017 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport based in Perth, Western Australia. My car's navigation system currently runs on iGO Primo software (version 9.12.14.545514). I'm looking to update the maps and keep the entire system updated. I understand that the recommended method is to visit a Toyota dealer, but I'm interested in exploring if there's a DIY way to do this. Could anyone guide me through the process or provide any reliable resources or links? Here are the details of my current setup: Car Model: Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport 2017 Location: Perth, Western Australia Navigation Software: iGO Primo 9.12.14.545514 Specifically, I'd like to know: Where can I find the map update files that are compatible with my navigation system? What are the steps involved in transferring the map updates to an SD card and updating the system myself? Are there any risks or considerations I should be aware of before attempting a DIY update? I’ve looked through the user manual and some online resources but couldn’t find a comprehensive guide. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Best regards,

      Upgrade from 2012 to 2023

      I have recently bought a 2012 Prado and was wondering if i could buy a 2023 strat write off prado and upgrade both interior and exterior so all the functions from the 2023 works regardless of the newer features and buttons. I'm planning to upgrade not just the exterior, I'm also planning to upgrade the interior dash and stuff as well.
