Yep, excellent progress, well done.
The wheels look in great condition.

Cheers guys :)

The wheels are in ok condition, a few scuffs and a bit of curbing but they should be fine :) just hope they look alright on the car :lol:

Nice, well done on getting the bumper off with the non-removable indicator. I've been thought hat, the screws rust into the clips.

I put a bit of grease on the screw when I reassembled.

I'm still confused about that parking pole, what does it do? How does it aid parking?

The pole gets excited when you try to park (it extends up and pokes above the bonnet) so you can see where the corner of your car is and judge the available space/predict the bump better.

Oh it moves up and down? And just acts as a visual marker where thecornerof the bumper is?

Blimey. What a Heath Robinson idea!

the parking pole is just like a small manual radio aerial really, but SO jdm :jdm:

good work jj 8-) glad you've got the bumper off, jdm fogs as well - good man 8-) I had the same problem when swapping mine from white to jdm yellow, they are known to rust like fook so the fixings are a nightmare :roll:

oh and welcome to the advan club...... nice!! :twisted:

Yeah the parking pole is pure novelty, but it has to be done :lol:

Can't wait to have the front end back on and everything working. JDM fogs + parking pole + turning lights is going to be a total jizzfest.

Really excited :D

Although I am a sucker for all options, I think I'll draw the line at the parking pole! Conjures up images in my mind of old dodgy Jap imports of pieces of Toyota sh*t with funny model names!

You'll like the turn lights though, I retro-fitted those to mine (had to build the control box though) and they're actually quite useful!
