    Cheers, happy with the alloys...

    They really set it off nicely. Nice change to see a Yaris being cared for for a change instead of abused

    You're far to kind. Thanks for the kind words! :o It's my first car and I intend on keeping it until it dies completely, as it really holds so much sentimental value to me. 145,423 miles on the clock, so we shall see what it gets too... :)

    Regular oil changes and you literally can't kill those things! Or any toyota of that vintage.

    So, the Yaris is going in for the n.c.t on Tuesday. I had a look at the suspension components and underneath it this morning. front anti roll bar drop links need replacing, easy job. :cool: I'll change them bad boys on Monday. I'll update with pics then. :)

    I have the exact same car, how much would it cost to put in a new speaker/speakers? My radio cracks when i turn up the volume, i can still turn it up high enough but when there is a lot of base in the song it really cracks and I have to turn it down low.

    I wouldn't be able to fit the speakers in myself, id have to get someone professionally to do it.

    Apologises for not updating sooner... Been busy..

    So, things, added a few weeks ago...
    JDM tow hook
    WP_20160706_001_zps2bcffhkk.jpg?t=1472855307
    JDM (kinda :P ) stickers
    WP_20160717_001_zpsrnnvbiu5.jpg?t=1472855619

    So it went for the N.C.T test..
    Had to power hose under the wheel arches (was expecting it be a bit rusty, but no.. :confused: clean for a 99)
    Front:

    Back:
    WP_20160808_001_zpsi9jqhoq2.jpg?t=1472855962
    Also I give it a polish with turtle wax, after a wash..
    Result!
    WP_20160808_010_zps2vzc42gu.jpg?t=1472856241
    Grand from far, but far from grand! :pac:
    WP_20160808_011_zpsbnlyulnr.jpg?t=1472856974
    The only thing that I could see that needed replacing was anti rollbar drop links, Here is why...
    WP_20160808_012_zpsjdxogq1u.jpg?t=1472857100

    So it went for the test and failed on the headlights and the a shock which needed replacing.. The local mechanic done both for me and it was retested..

    After it was retested, it's road legal for another year..
    WP_20160816_001_zpsw3f6g7u1.jpg?t=1472857402

    That current mileage tho! :pac: it was a typo, so got it changed to 147,552
    Speaking of mileage..... noticed when I pulled in at work today :)
    WP_20160903_010_zpsy1tuk2vy.jpg?t=1472857589

    Lastly, a ticking sound has appeared, which I'm 99.9% sure is the power steering pump giving up as it's happened to arrive with stiff steering at speeds below 60kph. If your interested click here.

    As always opinions welcome. :)
