Styling 8))) - Toyota Corolla, 1.4 liter, 2008
I have long wanted to stand out at least a little bit from the crowd of identical Corollas, and not only Corollas now ride all on the same person, but also other budget mobiles, credit mobiles and other common cars.
Having studied drive2, I determined what can be done without special costs, which is quite feasible and which will allow you to stand out at least a little from the crowd (read: flow)
EXp3rTok did a similar thing , and he was not alone))
In general, the choice fell on pasting some elements of the car in vinyl. film, cheap and cheerful))
In particular, toned turn signals on the wings. The car is black, the turn signals were white. Now everything is black) Looks better, IMHO. From a practical point of view, nothing has changed, it shines the same way, even better in bright sun. Previously, in sunny weather, the turn signals were hard to see, now they are clearly visible =)) sharp steel = D
From the black vinyl film Oracal pasted eyelashes on the taillights . I like it, the criticism was mixed from friends and relatives. The main thing is that I like it. The headlights have become stricter, the contour is more emphasized, now the rear headlights are not so girly. There was not much option. but completely tint the headlights, but chose a vinyl eyelash)
Cilia for headlights . The person who glued it all remembered all his abusive stock (Izya, hello xD). Since they decided not to remove the headlights (to remove them, you need to fold the front bumper too), they glued everything on the car. The shape of the headlights is skewed-nakos skewed, the Japanese designers wound it up normally =) With the help of some kind of mother, they pasted everything. Headlights turned out with a small joint. Something else needs to be done. If the film peels off, then under warranty we will redo it with the headlights removed.
Initially, they were glued in the form of eXp3rTok a, but we thought I decided to make a slanting design on the onion)
The Toyota and Corolla nameplates have been pasted on the back for now, but I'll take them off soon as I have free time.
They wanted to paste over the badges on the front and back with vinyl film. Initially, there were plans to roll it up in a black mat, then I decided to glue it in gloss.
They removed the rear badge with a construction hair dryer. Here, some help from some mother did not help, in the corners there were jambs on the badge. Therefore, I decided to buy Chinese badges for 150 rubles and paint them from a spray can. But this, again, when the time is free, for now I ride without a back badge.
By the way, as the badges are plastic, before that I thought that maybe they would not regret the badges at least for metal, it turned out that they regretted the pieces of iron. Plastic original = And when the rear badge was removed, bare plastic was noticed on the side edges, chrome got into ...
The front badge is still in place. I wanted to take it off, it was attached to rivets or something like that. In general, breaking is dangerous, I'm afraid to break.
Korollovody , tell me how the front badge was removed? And it was the chrome-plated part that was removed there, or with a plastic backing (or what to call it?)?
Thank you for your work, Artyom (personality known in certain circles as Izya Shniperson; tintek.ru).
* Further in the plans of the strip on the front. The front side and lobash will not be completely toned, I like it now, and our valiant do not dig.
I also want to paste over the handles in the cabin in silver like on expensive trim levels. Or, as an option, white or light gray carbon, as well as an aluminum look. I'm more inclined to aluminum, I like it) But I don't know how it will look in the interior of this car.
there are other more global reasons for transplanting))) but if it were my will, too, would not have moved to the pelvis =)
I would not have moved anywhere :) VAZ has a VAZ :) Toyota has a Toyota even in stock. Yes, and you can do with it, just more money and look longer :)
there is no
freedom to do all kinds of bullshit with the car you want)) with autotaz you can do anything you want))
= DD on the VAZik it is necessary to change, because with this auto dependencies, a lot of superfluous turns out =)
I wanted plastic,
but it's more expensive, for a start I decided with a film
if I liked it, then I’ll buy plastic (and then if I don’t sit on a bucket of autotaza)
and if I like these very very much, then maybe everything will remain so)))
thank you)) although many have done this, but in our city all the Corollas are the same)) we need to stand out at least somehow, every little thing decides))))
