Thanks for all the kind comments guys, it really is much appreciated, id repsond to you all individually but id be here forever lol. Ollie, yes mate the grill was a bit of a talking point, couple of dropped jaws. However I didnt think it got much attention at all, or I just didnt see it :-k

Anyway it seems ill have to get a few pics when the sun is out over the weekend to really show its gleaming potential, but for the mo its running these sweet ass ultra rare GAB Sport 15" wheels on one side while I get 2 of my TOM'S wheels kinks sorted, I would put 4 on but I bought them as a set with one damaged but cant find another anywhere...

It just looks sick JDM tyte!!!

If I do manage to find another rear wheel its a hard decision as to whether or not I wanna keep them on, I do admit they just look divine but I gotta be loyal and stick to the TOM'S groove of the whole car!

Don't put pink wheels on it! makes it look desperate and not badass like it really is....

There is no denying that Tom's gear is super high quality... check out this unused T020 adjustable top mount set I picked up last year. Looks good in the pics but you should see them first hand - can't bring myself to put them on the car!

Hi mate... Ive seen those topmounts posted on the OTHER forum which was a T020 debate thread. I would love a set of them. Cant believe your not using them, are you looking to sell? Im running standard top mounts.

I wonder where I can get the full on TOM'S ADVOX units that they do?
Be nice to see a second hand set on ebay.

As for the wheels, ill admit now, not a particularly good photo... umm not pink, real bright red though but in the flesh they do look amazing.

Well I hadn't really thought about selling but I guess if someone came along with a wad of fifties I'd have to think about it.

Haven't seen the Advox stuff around... looks cool though!

Hi mate yeah the airbox looks a decent item however they were only produced for n/a's, cant have the brake stopper as im running abs which I will keep lol. Brakelines... Should they come up it may be a bit overkill but for the right price I would cos im already running goodridge hoses... Shocks for sure. Need to find them, then top mounts to match! Thanks very much for all the further comments.

Hey loudandproud. Yes near exact but I can safely say that I own a set of those exact same wheels on the forza T020. I was going to fit them but I came across the C3 evolutions and had to go with them. The wheels on forza are called TOM'S RENO as I discovered on yahoo japan. As for the 'band' sticker lol ollie I nearly forgot. Cant believe forza messed up on that! They actually got it right on forza 2!

Hi mate, just seen the video... Its a nice car, loving the green tints! Im pretty certain toms never made anything like that. I love how the owner has sprayed the logos into the mesh but could be a bit ott on my car. The only thing thats resembles toms stuff on his car is the skirts and passenger scoop. Good find though!

The grill looks good! And the kit enables the car to pull off the Toms air intake scoop without looking lame! Hate to see a totally standard MR2 with just a scoop and no other exterior mods. Fantastic car. :thumleft:
