Ooh awesome thats good to know that its durable. No problems when washing the car or anything?

Yeah im thinking left one too, slightly less noticable to cops and also lower chance of getting rear-ended lol. But still keeps me happy too :)
Going to use this Plasti dip stuff to black out the emblems, has anyone heard of it or used it before?
Looks nice and easy and removable at anytime and there are some guys that sell it in Hoppers Crossing, so I'm thinking its a win? :D

Ok guys so i had my first try at tinting my tail lights a few days ago, here are the results. Which shade do you think is better? The lighter one or the darker one? Left or right? Also going to make the badges black next week, i think it'd look better with the tinted lights.
Took some photos at night aswell, but not the best quality, just with my iPhone

Sorry guys, but while you're on the topic of springs....what is the lowest spring that is still legal? Want to lower my car but keep it legal at the same time. :/ Thanks.

Welcome Joe!
Good choice with the Aurion! ;)
-
GOOD LUCK! You get the hang of it after a while ( oh and its the size of 16 A4 sheets not 6, hence why it looks big ;) )
-
At first glance i thought it was a Hyundai :/ not cool y'all!
-
Saw this at Laverton Market yesterday, loved how it looked! Is it someone from the forums?
trying to learn how to attach pics on here aswell, lets hope this works.

nice work :) ,how much did the carbon fiber wrapping cost ??
$18.00 for a sheet 1.27m x 1m (size of 16 A4 sheets) off ebay, seller is from NSW
http://www.ebay.com....984.m1423.l2649
They have raised the price a little now by the looks of things, but for all of what I've done I only used about 2 and a half A4 sheets worth of it including wasting some during the learning process.
This s how big it was
this is how much I have left after doing it.

Okay well my roll of carbon fiber wrapping arrived on Friday and i couldn't wait to give wrapping a go, so I did it yesterday.
Took me about 2 and a half hours to do these 5 pieces but I'm happy with the outcome. :) Although some of the edges are a bit rough and there are a couple of small bubbles on the double cup holder lid, might give it another go again later on. Happy for now though :)
Here are the pics...

Yeah true. What were you planning to buy? Maybe we can find a closer seller.
I'm from the west too, btw :)
Just past Werribee, but i stay in the north (South Morang) during the week, because it is closer to uni.
ALSO spotted an Blue Aurion couple weeks back too at Epping Bunnings car park, I know I've seen it on here. Blue Sportivo with the spoiler removed and modified exhausts, number plate was YEN XXX, cant remember the numbers.
Pretty sure it was this one.

Wow its been a while since my last post here. Thanks to Trent and Zhan for your comments.
Well my first year of university is coming to an end soon, so im planning to get back into spending some more time on the Aurion.
It is officially mine now btw, used to be mum's, but she got a Nissan Elgrand E51 a couple months ago, so now the Aurion is mine and i sold my little Laser.
Anyhow, I've ordered a bunch of LED bulbs and a roll of black carbon fiber wrapping, to keep me busy. Also very keen on tinting the taillights and getting the car lowered. Will keep you guys updated as things progress :)
Also what size springs do you guys think are a good height for an Aurion on 20"s? Something comfy, but also looks good and how much does it roughly cost to have them supplied and installed?
-
Spotted!
Plates were. I <3 AHM
Not bad just has too many stickers...
Yeah this guy is called "carxxx", has a store on ebay, he sells a lot of stickers and bulbs etc. Hence the amount of stickers on his car.
does he have a personal store in melbourne ? Id rather pickup than ebay.
Not sure, but i doubt it. Looks like they just import stuff and sell it via the net.
But it says location as Cheltenham. Might be able to organise a pick up from their place or to meet up somewhere and pay COD.
I did that with a different seller on ebay to get my weather shields, met them at Point Cook Town Centre car park.
-
Yeah I have about the same left, at uni. Then the mods shall begin (hopefully) ;)
I need two new tyres, so hoping to get it lowered at the same time.
Need to tint the car too, because ive noticed my seat covers starting to fade at the back. :'( :'(
Then if i have time (I'll find time), I'll look into doing some of that carbon fibre wrapping on the interior.
Keep us posted on your mods, your car looks great, keen to see how you make her look even better.
GOOD LUCK on exams too btw! :)

Agreed! Your car reminds me of an AMG in the side-on pics. I reckon a black duck tail would go well on this aurion btw ;)
-
Awesome wrapping, I love it especially around the shifter. Where can you get that wrapping from?
-
Nice Aurion mate, looking great! Good taste in mods, keep it up!
Fellow P-plater here btw, so i know how tight the budget and search for time can be....juggling uni and work... :/

Not an expert on corollas, but i saw a really nice one at Manor Lakes Central Shopping Centre in Wyndham Vale tonight.
Looked like the '11 model a white hatch, lowered, black rims i think with thin white wall tyres, saw it from a distance, but it was very eye catching.
Also seen a silver 06/07 aurion a couple times in the same car park, lowered with wheels from the newer aurion sportivo.
has a custom plate too but i cant remember it , i think it started with D, was pretty sure i have seen it on here.

Me and my friend just took a few snaps after washing our cars, after coming back from going away to west gippsland area for a week.

Ahaha true, looked like some intense taping. Its the same with tinting the lights though. Took me longer to tape around the lights than to spray them.
Speaking of the lights I think I am going to go with the lighter one actually, because it makes me feel better, atm I keep thinking i'm going to get rear ended
lol. Although i have driven with my lights like this for about 4 days....
Might get my mum to drive the car while i follow behind in hers and see how bright my lights are. Might end up keeping them if they aren't too bad.
As for the badges, I am a chicken and im lazy, (cbf taking the badges off, cleaning, painting and putting new adhesive on them and sticking them back on and I'm scared I might not like black badges so with plati dip it is reversible. I'll give it a try, if I don't like it or It does work I shall paint the badges properly.
Yeah they have an eBay store! I will be meeting them on Monday I think.
I will also enquire about get the Aurion lowered on Monday too, how long it will take to get it done and how much it will set me back
