your model camry is a gen 6 (which is now outdated by the gen 6.5 which is the current facelift model). DJKOR would know this one for sure, but i dont think that aurion spoiler fits the camry boot, but the camrys and aurion share a lot of the same panels

not enitrely sure if theres any aftermarket body kits readily available in australia for the gen 6. you will have to start looking overseas

Don't see a reason why you can't buy a kit from Toyota... might find it cheaper to buy overseas and ship to Australia than to buy one from Toyota here.

As for price? I'm sure you own a phone mate... make a couple of calls and see how you go.

I reckon you should be going for some rims and lowering before the kit... might look a bit unusual with a kitted car without mags :P

I must say, Sportivos are pretty nice looking...

I believe there is no "kit" available to buy for the Sportivo bodykit.. you'll need to go into Toyota and check the part numbers for each individual part. So... you'll be looking for the front bar, rear bar, side skirts, spoiler and I believe there's a special rock cover guard underneath from what I was told.

Good luck anyway :)

As mentioned by lateralus, you do indeed have a Gen 6 Camry. The ACV40R and GSV40R are both Gen 6's. In the States, the ACV40R is the I4 Camry, and the GSV40R is the V6 model. Here in Australia though, the GSV40R is the Aurion.

As for the spoiler fitting, the boot lid shares very close upper dimensions. The only difference between the Camry and Aurion boot lid is the overall shape and rear part of it. The Aurion spoiler will fit onto a Gen 6 Camry with no issues however. Just like how the Aurion can use the Camry lip spoiler. The Aurion spoiler mounting points sit in a tiny bit which allows for any variation as well.

if ya interested on an original set of sportivo kit, contact Michael Pitt at Brighton Toyota... i was considering bodykits as well when i first got my car in Apr this year but scrapped the idea after i saw the naristo kit and found out the only way i can get it here is if i parted with $5K not including shipping from the states :(

anyway, their quote came in cheapest at that time at about $2216... if you dont want the spoiler, you might be able to get it down to just below $2K.

i got a set of 18s like you and got it lowered just over the weekend as well as a custom muffler + 3 inch tip installed... dont realli see a need for a kit now...

how well knowledged is ur missus when it comes to cars? not discriminating or anything, but there are girls out there who wouldn't even notice you changed ur car as long as its the same colour and has 4 doors...

Hehehe ... yeah, she's not "into" cars, but she takes an interest. Oh, and as the financial controller, she'd certainly notice the missing funds. :lol:

Having said that, if I mope around long enough, she'd let me start modding the car. Perhaps if I compromised and sold off the motorbike ... hmm ... <_<

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      there are online catalogues available that you can type your vin number in and it will show your car, then you can find the correct part number. it is the only way to go when looking for uniquie or uncommon parts. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/vehicle?c=Toyota&ssd=%24*KwEWIjMeQU9MbFFuQ2JFQ05aen1jEh0QEQMFBkBlWQFNUQAaXyUmagcOAU1WABpfMidwEBZ5YWYREEpDXxQTEhYGCQBDHlFVBhQXGxcREgJRUQJHBxgBfn9nEU9APQliamV1Y2wCUVEJTUEAGRxYAAAAAL-x3O4%24&vid=0&q=AHT54ZEC307000605 https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/corolla-runx/1-hatchback-right-e120-2001-3066/body-and-interior-3/mudguard-spoiler-298

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
