mine is greyish.. custom color :)

corrados can be both Left and right hand drive can't they? :confused4: too clarify, corrado you dont see much no where near the number off today mass produced cars thus they are rare sooo importing RHD is a little more exotic then LHD. Friend of mine has RHD skyline imported from uk, and everyone goes what da :D got it?

who ever said i want it to me RHD? :) hence why i drive a corrado....

good links thx for quick reply

i am looking around to import a supra into canada. so i am wondering if any could point me to a site around uk where they sell them (adds) cheers,

well i have finally got around to completing the sucker, as for the results.... i am not to happy then again i am not a body guy either, so overall it'll have to do for now. you can see where the icon has been plastered together :/ front end: rear end: turned on: i will have it put back into the car sometime this week/end and then will take more pictures

i have made an attempt with poly urethane and as much as it worked that much it failed. Needles to say i was forced to go out and look for a product that would work on plastic flawlessly. I have believe i have found it. Comes in 5 piece kit, self etching plastic compound, plastic welder (looks like crazy glue), filler, hardener and cloth. When you mix the filler and hardener smells like an ass, but spreads like butter over bread (almost water based). I have given it a try not waiting to see how well it turns out, when it dries out.

funny my trunk trim was beige and everything else was black. So i changed the trim into black to match 100$ change.

well i have tried using "filler" and it is not working for me, and i am not good with "filler". The icon can very easily be popped out from behind / makes really hard time for sanding and keeping icon scratch free.. I have now changed the way i will do the mod. I will make the icons wider few millimeters and then i will solder them into plastic housing around the vents for long lasting fix. which means this will take a lot longer then i expected. I do how ever consider this to be a very useful skill once i master it. Plus i can not seem to find correct paint for the trim. I have tried three different onces and they all look very different then original housing. Second option is using poly urethane for windshield and quick dry/ clean finish. Then hot knifing the excess off. Disaster in the making, bondo/filler just does not seem suitable for the job. :lol: I will still how ever post all pictures of failed attempts and successful onces. I will return to destruction tomorrow.

right on, i have gotten around to doing a little bit more. it is definitely with out a doubt the most time consuming out of all my modes i have ever done. ill shoot some pictures sometime later this week/end with finished product. needles to say as a test run it does look pretty spify.

so you build up a full out layer, to be as thick as the plastic you cut out?

well i had some time today and thought i would jump to it and give a shoot. i started working on heater vents and everything seems to be working accordingly with exception of actually bonding the icons to the trim. biggest pain in the ars ever. do you have any tips on how to keep those suckers filler free and not moving around? i am seriously considering using hot glue on back of it > plus a good time is definitely make the cut out a little bigger makes working on it a little easier. here are the icons what i got:

i actually just had the calipers fully rebuilt with sleeve's/boots, powder coated etc.. only swapping rotors because the fronts are warped and steering shakes badly on breaking. oh yeah i would like to match front to back. same brand/style.

yeah across the seas but i do not have problems shipping from Europe i have done it number of times in the past.

I am looking to replace my rotors, wondering if any one has any recommendations to which ones are of the better quality. I would like them cross drilled, and they are for 93 VR6. Price is not of any issues but wouldn't wanna upgrade to big brake kits. Thanks,

only problem with audi handles, when battery dies out climb through the trunk ^^ happened few times to me already and i only had handles installed for less then a year.

i'll post some pics up once i get it done. i figured i will use 4500mcp single led to illuminate both icons. with a hover custom l bracket out of lexan plastic plate. will be a while now i am running in between things so 1-2 weeks until i fully get it done maybe sooner.

yup over the big pond. i am gonna give it a try with vent icons first, as they seem to be easiest to draw out. Shouldn't be to hard, plus i think i found a solution to spraying the whole transparencies instead of just the filler parts, time consuming but it should work. my intention is to dip the finest paint brush into white grease and go over the icon. that way once i spray bomb the transparency and the color dries up after an hour or so i should still be able to wipe of the grease.

oh boy do i feel like an idiot. the whole time acetate aka film transparency was laughing in my face. i was unsure of what acetate actually was, but its transparency films that can be used for overhead projectors and can be printer or written on with a marker. guess UK and Canada have some word differences after all :clap:

Ok i had a little bit of confusion but i think i understand it now. I went around local stores looking for acetate, but no one seems to have exactly what i am looking for and don't understand what it is exactly that i am trying to do. In reality all i need to do is get clear label paper with a sticky back that can be printed on, correct? Now to make sure i have got the process right, when you put the 2 sets of 2's together wont the top image still have an icon print on it? Plus you mentioned to place clear white sheet of paper on the back of the 4 layered assembly to make it look white when they are not turned on, correct? What kind of spray paint did you use? Satin black spray bomb, textural? Plus i would assume that the only thing you would paint is the filler parts, correct? I think that would be all the questions i am unsure of, at this point i have my little sister draw of the icons using a tablet (she's a pro using it) and then i will try it out.

that is very neat indeed. i have read through your how to script and i have a question regarding acetate sheets. What color sheets are you actually using? all clear and then use a standard printer to print on it? Plus what do you mean by 2 normal and 2 reflected horizontally? Also would it not be easier to take a picture of the icon you are trying to Photoshop and then edit it?

really can you snap a picture of the stalk?

it looks a little empty having everything lit up but the ashtray :( now you gave me a challenge... corrado scrolls are white the only ? is are they clear enough on the back for light to get through. If they are, then all it needs are some 3mm LEDs if not well that is a challenge.... which could be solved after inspection of newer model design.

i swear i have seen this mod done before, or does any one know how to do it? I originally thought it could be done using oem button, second look at the button proves its impossible, due to the back cover being black in color (no light gets through). Cheers,

would you happen to know a link to it?
