CheekySportivo

Hi Guys, For those simple and not so heavy lil nasty markings, chips and scratches I am wanting to get my hands on a small amount of touch paint in Black Ink for my 05 Corolla Sportivo yet i'm not so sure where I can get this from? Do Toyota provide this product? If so does anyone know how much it's worth and which Sydney dealer/spares supply this? I know I could get this from a panel beater but I would much rather have it in an easy applicator and in an small amount. Also knowing its from Toyota would ensure it is the correct colour! Cheers :D

Any news or updates guys ??

Hi Guys, I have found a scratch on the front spoiler lip of my 2005 Stivo and was wondering if anyone has any hints or tips to help remove these kind of scratches that are on the plastic front lip ? From what I can see it only seems to be a surface scratch....I have seen some scratch removal products from Meguiars (Scratch X) and Mothers (Scratch on Plastic remover). Wasnt sure if these products would actually do the job or if they should be only applied on the body of the car. Any feedback would be great! Cheers :D

Hi Guys, With summer now hitting upon us I really dont want to have the bright sunlight ruin my dash, leather seats and make the car heat up like an absolute sauna. I was just wondering if there was a windscreen sun visor specifically made to measure and fit our Corolla windscreens? Perhaps a particular brand or any recommendations? The last thing I want to do is stuff around with windscreen sun shades to try and make them hold up!!! Wasnt so sure if Toyota actually make one? Any feedback would be great! Cheers :D

Hi Guys, Yet another interior cleaning question from me. I know Silvabullit is the man who is very experienced in this area so I hope u can reply to this one dude :P I have noticed that my Sportivo dash is starting to collect a little dust and was told to just wipe it down with a damp lint free cloth or microfibre chamois. Not to use any products on this either ???? I tried this method yet it left some very faint streaks on the dash being from the vinyl rubbery dash. I did a search of the forums and found a couple of the guys swear by using Mothers. There was no mention of what kind of Mothers particular product used though. I also find Meguiars to be #1 in many areas too but not sure which product of theirs to try out and buy. Any help or feedback would be great! Cheers :D

Are the leather wipes decent enough too? Any recommendations on which brand if they are good to buy? Im more or less wanting to clean the leather seats to remove any dirt and grime as well as make them soft like a baby's bum :P

Has this meet already happend guys ?

The Alpimodels place looks cool...I just wish they had the 5 door in black :( Thanks for providing the link and info Paradox. The minichamps model that Dennis has shown us look like the same brand featured on the Alpimodels site yet different design and colour. Any more info as to where u found that one Dennis?

ah ok cool....what r u doing to me RunX! LOL i wont be able to make a meet tom night but will be @ the Autobarn bbq to finally meet the crew :D

Aawww u serious? I thought the Autobarn meet was next week? Perhaps we can meet up anyway :P Good excuse for the guys who cant make tomorrow night and thought the bbq was next week! LOL

Are u guys meeting up tom night - 03 Dec 05 ? If not will the next meet up be at the Autobarn bbq ?

Hi Guys, Dont know if it's just in Sydney but I went to fill up my Stivo with the good ole BP Ultimate only to find the pumps were all out of use. The servo guy said BP is running low on BP Ultimate and there is mass fuel shortage. It's likely to now be available mid December :( So I had to fill up on Shell Optimax instead....

Thanks for keeping up to date with this paradox. Hopefully u will get some responses soon!

Hi Guys, I have noticed a few darker edges on my drivers leather seat and was wondering what the best method and product to use inorder to have this cleaned off and removed. As an end result I would like to have these light black markings removed leaving the seat with it's original colour and softness. Do Toyota make a purpose leather cleaner for their leather seats whether it be in a Sportivo or other model ?? Silvabullit - I know you are the man to answer this one! LOL :P

MAF??

Hi Guys, Well my little baby Stivo is going in for it's 5,000km service and was just curious to see what am I expected to pay for this service as well as what actually gets done in this service. Im gathering an oil change but what else exactly? Should I ask for anything in particular to be done? Cheers all :)

Nice rims there...I'd go the all silver ones though.

Very nice ride dude. I was surprised to see a new 05 Sportivo with so many mods on it already! You dont muck around huh LOL :P Would love to see some pics of ur ride too ;)

Is it a bad thing to use the powered buffer or is it more clinical to buff your car by hand? You should know this answer Silvabullit! LOL

I have this same noise and was becoming a little concerned myself. It sounds like the fan belt or something thereof. As mentioned this only happens when you turn off the engine. Im glad its nothing to worry about :)

###SYD - Sunday 20 Nov### Bonds Rd, RIVERWOOD/NARWEE Nice black 05 Sportivo, lowered, rims, exhaust, huge red sticker on the rear window (couldnt make out to what it was...TRD perhaps???), blue personalised plates M...KA Was wondering if it was anyone from here :)

The earlier the better for me too guys. Perhaps we can meet earlier so atleast we could perhaps take a few pics that will still be in the daylight :P

I'll be there if some other Stivo boys will be attending! Will also be a good excuse for a little meet up as I havent meet you guys yet! :)

Thanks for your advice Silverbullit. :) I will be going to buy some of the Meguiars wheel cleaner today.

Found this through eBay yet the description on the model says its a 2001 model???
