Thanks . Not sure of the brand unfortunately, but there are no problems with clearance. The back of the fan motor sits pretty close to the front engine mount due to the extra thickness of the core size (17mm vs 45mm) but there's more than enough clearance luckily.

That looks beautiful, can I get the full size?

Thanks . Yeah sure. I'm out of town at the moment but as soon as I get back home (in another week) I'll ask for your email address and send you through the high resolution photo as it's stored on my external hard-drive

Spoiled the Corolla a little today:

* Bought a full set of AE101 Cusco coilovers. Cleaned them today, will fit them in the next few days.
* Changed to the facelift JDM tail lights and garnish because I got sick of my pre-facelift JDM ones.
* Fitted some 7mm Ultra Power silicone spark plug wires (made in Japan). Didn't have a chance to clean them before taking the photos.

Nice job on the coilovers

With your pre-facelift tail lights, how do the brake lights light up? Are there two seperate globes on either side of the reflector/reverse light, or just the one towards the outside?

Thanks. Looking forward to installing them

The pre-facelift orange/red tail lights have four bulbs in total per side - 2 for the brake lights (one in the middle and one towards the outer edge of the housing), 1 for the turn signal and 1 for the reverse light. The facelift red/clear tail lights however only have three bulbs in total per side - 1 for the brake lights (middle of the housing, none on the outside of the housing), 1 for the turn signal and 1 for the reverse light.

This originally put me off when I fitted some facelift tail lights a number of months ago, although I still really liked the style. After seeing how bright they actually are with just the one bulb (especially since I have my third brake light in the rear window for extra visibility) it now doesn't really bother me. I never really liked the look of the facelift tail lights on my Corolla, but since fitting the rear lip they compliment the whole rear end nicely

Interesting, the Australian ones seem to only have the one brake light bulb in the outer position and the inner one is blanked off....

Actually, come to think about it I seem to remember having this conversation with you before :P

I like the last one the most... the others are cropped a bit too close IMO!

Cheers Chris. Haha, I zoomed in that far on purpose. Wanted to go for an 'up close and personal feel', so the zoom on the 75-300mm came in handy

Haha, nah not my house. Just some cafe I found opposite a beach. It's was early on Sunday morning so nobody had come to the cafe to open it for business so I drove up on the grass and took some photos with the cafe in the background, lol. Cheers man
