I dunno man, not sure I'm a fan TBH. With the first couple of shots in this thread it looks promising, but with these new shots on caradvice and so on..... eh...... Maybe if the sportivo ones where lowered a bit it may add to the look, the presara looks kinda cool, but the sportivo definately needs to be lower.

Here are some more for ya's

Yeah I'm most impressed with the Sportivo as well, I was waiting for the facelifted ones to come out before I got one and I'm happy enough :P I'll try and get some more pics but those just came out today.

"Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available." I can not access the file?? even I login already Fixed... Thats all I have atm, still waiting on more from my sources or for Toyota to release a press kit.

Being the Aurion fan I am, I have managed to obtain some facelift aurion photos..... See attached images.... Edit: Caradvice.com.au has published an article today about the new facelift with even more photos; http://www.caradvice.com.au/41995/toyota-a...released-today/

Couldn't agree with the highlighted statement more. Sounds like you're wife got some pretty dud Aurions, did she consider buying from someone trust worthy? She may also need to lay off the accelerator a bit, maybe get some new tyres. My dad has had an 07 Presara since brand new with not a single issue to date, it's the whole reason I am looking to get one of my own (most likely a ZR6) when circumstances permit. Toyota's are generally very good, reliable, solid cars. It's very unusual for you to have such a bad experience, especially two cars in a row.

Yeah I just got off the phone to Graham Werner Toyota and they told me the price I got from Brighton Toyota was incredible and they cant quote me anything near that (nearly $2,700 just for parts).

I might drop by, haven't been to anything before tho ... :P It'd be nice to see what my car can aspire to, my little red rolla.

I'll join ya's. It doesn't matter that my rolla isn't hawt yet? It'd be wicked to go along and see these rides in the flesh.

It's not so much a "should I ... will I?" as it is a "where the hell am I gonna make that cash." It will happen, I will get these parts, it's just a matter of when / how. I'll call some more local dealers however most of the dealers around my place are all flashy and over-priced.

I just got quotes on the sportivo kit from Brighton Toyota, http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...mp;#entry337264

I just got quotes today from Brighton Toyota for the body kit; Front & Side Skirt Front Spoiler - $560.00 Side Skirt Kit (2PCS) - $470.00 Painting And Fitting - $400.00 Subtotal (EX. GST) - $1,430.00 GST - $143.00 Total - $1,573.00 Rear Skirt Rear Lower Skirt - $470.00 Painting And Fitting - $200.00 Subtotal (EX. GST) - $670.00 GST - $67.00 Total - $737.00 Are those prices decent? I was hoping for about $1,200 for the front & side and $500 for the rear.

This thread will be about my 05 Corolla Ascent Hatch's journey from what it is now, to what it will be in probably several months. See my planned mods in order of first to last. Planned External Mods: - TRD Badge to replace Ascent badge (Coming from Taiwan) - Sportivo Body Kit Pt. 1 (Front & Side) - Sportivo Body Kit Pt. 2 (Rear) - Alloy Wheels (Don't know what kind yet) - Slightly lowered (Unless it's stupidly expensive) - Slimline Custom Plates The *Before* Pictures: (Sorry it's not clean)

I would suppose the thing I'm looking at for $700 is a lip kit, as it looks like it just slots on over the bottoms of my current bumpers. I'd get a good body kit for a good price, Are the sportivo kits expensive? I know how Toyota and probably any car manufacturer would charge quite a bit for that stuff after market.

I'll put up with red if it's gonna save me a few grand, I'll get someone to spray the body kit parts for me only. That's mad! might be just slightly the top for me though :P Are body kits easy to install yourself? I know it would probably vary, but I've got work mates who could help out with time, but not really expertise. Are there may good places I could look online for corolla grille's and body kits?

I'd be looking to respray the whole car with the kit on it. The body kit I'm looking at is around AU$750 for both the side skirts and the front bumper (see the url in my first post) thats a Talon kit. The only reason I don't want that kit exactly is because it has no rear bumper, and looks odd. Are you talking about a custom kit? Would the spray be the bulk of the price, or the kit? I have the "Velocity" red and I'd leave it at that if a spray was any more than $400 or $500.

Hi guys, first off I'll take some high res shots of my car tomorrow to add in to this thread, but I need your help yet again TOCAU! I am looking at getting a body kit (side skirts, front bumper and rear bumper) for my 2005 ZZE122R Ascent Hatch. I'm also looking to get it resprayed from Red to Black, my budget is max $1,250 I know that's not a lot, but I'm sure I could find some way to make things work. I've been looking at the NVS body kit (http://www.carlights.com.au/catalogue/toyc01/index.htm) but it doesn't have any rear bumper, and I feel it needs to have a rear bumper or else it ruins the whole look. Does anyone have pics of their corolla with a good body kit? And if so, how much / what is your body kit? What types of places do resprays? Thanks guys! I'll post pics of my rolla tomorrow. I have a stock corolla rear spoiler already, I want to give my corola a bit of street cred :P Cheers guys!

I'll give that a shot and see where I end up. Thanks for the help Evo7!

Yeah still got all the guide books and stuff. Do I need to solder, or can I just get a wiring harness? I'd rather leave the car in a good condition (including wiring) for if incase I sell it.

Hi guys, this is my first post here, so .. hi! A few months ago I purchased a 2005 Toyota Corolla, the existing radio in it is very bad at playing CD's. It just doesn't seem to be able to read 99% of the discs I put in, or one song it can read fine, the next it cant. Anyway, I have pulled my Sony Xplod CDX-GT570 out of my old 89 Camry and I want to put it in to my new car. I haven't changed a radio head unit before, I got the guys from Strathfield to do it in my old camry, and I am a bit scared of breaking anything. I also have a nokia hands free kit (see pic attached, small round thing to the right of the time display). I want the hands free kit to still work when I hook the head unit in. I'm also looking to get one of these a toyota corolla double to single din converter (http://www.dnaaudio.com.au/blowout_pages.html/toy_k960.html) for around $50 from autobarn. So, does anyone have any advice or links to changing this thing? Cheers!
