Hi,

Picked up my sportivo yesterday and here are the pics :)

Today, it has gone to my brother's shop to get speakers, alarm, hands free kit, tints and may be a new stereo fitted.

Will post pics on my garage.

Oh what a feeling !!!!! :)

NICE

I like that front lip but still don't like the grille and tear-drop lights.

How hard would it be to lift the Sportivo badge off and replace it where it 'should' be???

shouldnt be too hard if its anything like the badges on the Mazda3 ... just use dental floss to remove it.. and some sort of 'goo' remover to get rid of any excess glue, then use silicone or something to stick it back on

hopefully its only held on by double sided tape.. and not drilled in (which i doubt)

oh yeah, very cool rims B)

Congratulations to your new babe, another snowflake!

Yeah I agree, sportivo badges, look better on pre-facelift model, so too the tear-drop lights, pre-facelift much nicer.

Noticed as well that the rear mudflaps are still black, not colour coded as per Ultima.

Front Bumper and Grill now one piece, would have been nice if spoiler was also intergrated.  Can't change Grill to TRD item.  Like pre-facelift model.

Fake vents on front spoiler now moved from side to under the lights... nice.

Side indicator lights now clear... nice.

......now for that Compressor model to arrive.

Conclusion: -

Pre-facelift: Model after European look.

Post-facelift: Model after more Japanese look.

Congrats on the new purchase mate. For what it's worth, I reckon the new model looks heaps nicer than the pre-facelift. A lot more European than the old one which looks like a startled deer for mine.

Congrats

New one is much nicer :)

The front is so much more integrated and smoother, The front spoiler doesn't really look like an add on.

Still got the fake vents on the side skirts though :(

I couldn't agree with you more, cept for the pre and post. I know it's just my opinion but the pre facelift is a much sportier looking Jap style whereas the facelift looks euro. Also much prefer the vents on the sides rather than under fogs.

What's with the lip thing on the rear bottom half?

Still a nice looking car but if it if it's not broke......

You are right, mate.

They are not drilled in, just glued on. I have asked the dealer if they can get the old badge in. He said that they can order them for me if I wanted. Will want and might order just befored the 1000km service

In fact, the post facelift look is the JAP version of Sportivo itself. So, I agree with

sport1vo more :P

Pre-facelift: Model after European look.

Post-facelift: Model after more Japanese look.

Have a look at this

http://toyota.jp/Showroom/All_toyota_lineup/Runx/index.html

http://toyota.jp/sp/corolla/newcorolla/runx/index.html

It's the origianal look of Sportivo. The pre-facelift use the more euro look, while for post facelift they use back the original JAP RUNX look.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
