Wondered how long it would take you Tommy before you jumped in on Paul,
Suprised to see you back on here though after your previous, how shall I say it. Non PC related comments

Once again Tommy your only input is to have a go, you tedious little man.

I forgot an engineering degree was a prerequisite to having any sort of knowledge in your world.

I do know springs don't work once fully compressed, no degree needed.

Now run along.

Well they don't work one way, but they do work the other way.

Thought you would have known that Paul. Image

Wow that went downhill fast.

Might be too late to salvage now, but thanks Ollie, I'd not seen a set of those red Kouki lamps before, quality! Would look ace on a black mk1 I reckon.

Would you pay $358 plus import duty for them Adam ?

I wouldn't pay 358 rusty old washers for those things

In fact not even one rusty old washer :)

If they fitted the look I was after on a project car, and I had the spare coin I would absolutely consider paying that for them. Properly different look and I love niche variations from different markets.

Aren't they just a painted set of standard JDM lights? With the usual ebay rare bs over description.

I never argue with anyone Tommy

I'm a plain speaking Yorkshireman who says what he thinks

Others seem to convert some of my statements into arguments

Their problem not mine :whistle:

That explains a lot, no offence.

We all have different uses for our Mk1, you use your car for sprinting, obviously these parts are not going to help you but your use for your Mk1 differs to mine. I want an individual looking Mk1 with as many rare/non UK spec parts as I can find bolted to it. FYI, the LED spoiler and SC engine lid I have on my car were free as they were on one of my old superchargers, the rear lights came from America and were about £70 delivered to my door. These parts do not necessarily cost the earth.

In my mind, visually the look of my car has been improved, that's what I was aiming for and I'm very happy with the result.

I would have thought so, or just colour coded from the factory? New one on me as well..

If you look close in the pictures you can see over spray :wink: or at least it looks like it in the cose ups on the bottom of the Toyota wording on the indicator lense and also masking lines round the main lights/reflectors

The colour is Mica Red, am sure of it!

Am not sure how it would look on my car and am not paying that amount to money to find out.

Need to get my LED spoiler resprayed and on the car as my next job

Its £226 actually.

So Peter, if you inherited a supercharger would you change the rear lights back to N/A?
