I hit a pole when I was doing the street side reverse parking.

The left tail light housing is broken. So I have to purchase a new light.

Does anyone know where I can get a second-hand one as a new one costs 500AUD?(I live in Melbourne)

The mechanic told me that rear bumper will be repaired instead of being replaced.

The last problem is that the boot seems doesn't match the car perfectly because the gap looks a little bit bigger than before

I'm looking for a cheaper way to fix them. All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

Thanks you and I think it helps but there's one question.

Mine is SX6, does it have the same taillight as normal Aurion(At-X, prodigy,presara)

because on that ebay page indicates that

Item Description:

Brand New Non Genuine LHS - Passenger Side Tail Light To Suit Toyota Aurion Sedan Models From 6/06 - 7/09

Will not suit Sportivo or TRD models.

Sx6 has same headlight as a atx/prodigy

Not exactly. The Sportivo and TRD have a darker shade of red (which I suspect is inside tiniting of the chrome... thanks Steven) for the tailights and the headlights have a tinted chrome internal. This makes them both appear darker. So you will in fact have mismatched lights if you don't change all of them if going between grades.

In terms of the OP's question, the physical size and dimensions are the same though.

Edit: I happen to have a left side tail light for a pre-facelift Sportivo BTW. It means a bit to me however, but I guess I may be able to part with it.

So if I buy a AT-X tail light for my SX6. People can notice the difference and will think it's weird?

When I find the right supplier, I would let you know.

Currently, I can't find who sells the sportivo tail light in China.

If anyone is willing, I have a 2nd hand left side tail light that I will part with for $100 plus shipping. No right side sorry, in case you ask.

If you were to ask me though, getting the hybrid tail lights would be a smart move.

It's good enough to see hybrid lights on silver. I wonder how it'll look on a silver TRD? :rolleyes: . We knew how sick it is on a black TRD. Just some1 we know didn't appreciate it that much and decided to swap to Ford. Oppps.. Went too far. :whistling::lol:

Personally though, if I was to put those new style lights on, I would rather get the full clear tail lights instead of the hybrid. They look so much better again.

True, each to their own. I kinda like it too, but It's good to see something difference for a change. :lol:

Come to think of it, you just gave me an idea.. I'll see if it works out real good. :D

These hybrid tail lights are from the rstyleracing site yes? They will actually fit the 08 sportivo? It says 07-09 i guess but just checking to make sure because they do look like the new design which doesnt fit the 08...

Yes from R Style, and facelift lights will fit on the pre-facelift and vice-versa, so you don't have to worry about fitting issues.

      E160 Corolla fielder suspension

      Does any one know if the trd sportivo suspension for the 2017 facelift corolla fielder fits the 2013 prefacelift version? Is the chassis the same? Thanks for the help.

      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.

      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.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
