Corolla from Australia

Hey guys,

So this is my corolla and i'm from Australia, thought it might give people a different perspective. Opinions, hate, likes are all welcome

In basic, these are genuine BBS LM's, fully refurbished and polished, faces painted red and reverse mounted for that extra 15mm offset.

Enjoy the pics!







Thanks for looking

OMG!!! SO NICE!!!!

LOVE:
Grille (prob came stock for you, but I had to search over a year to find one in the US!)
Lip (One piece lips make our car look SO MUCH BETTER!)
Side Marker (again, prob stock, but I would LOVE those!)
Wheels (baffles me as those would generally be too much for me, but those look great with your ride!!!)
Drop (what are you on? Looks like an S Tech drop)
Eyelids (LOVE Mine! Goes great with your car too!)

Not a fan of:
No fogs (those would really make your car more sporty!)
Chrome headlights (JUST swapped mine out last night, OMG! Changes the car!)

-again, just my 2c.

What all you done to her? What you plan on doing?
Either way she is PURDY!!! Keep it up!

+1 for real BBS LMs (very drool worthy)

The lip is a perfect addition, but it sucks they don't offer the S kit on the Corolla sedans down under...but honestly, if I had to buy a Corolla in Australia, I probably would've gone with the hatchback over the sedan.

Nobody is driving the car! Never mind, the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car.

Car looks good though & I love the one piece lip.

Thanks for your epic criticism :P
Grill and side marker were both stock you are correct sir! I picked these wheels at a bargain price through friends for only 1.3k haha and they were already in good condition! I just made it even better condition. Drop-wise i'm on Neomax Coilovers, i plan to go lower then i stretch my tyres more I couldn't be bothered for fogs, i actually cut off the fog area and black meshed it so air can get to the CAI. Headlights i can't be bothered haha. Trying to MINIMISE expenses on this car now.
She's got Injen CAI, magnaflow DTM tip axle back, coilovers and a bunch of other tiny things which aren't worth mentioning haha.

I would of got the hatchback over this definitely but parents bought it for my 18th so i can't complain. Plus it makes me the odd one out, too many hatchbacks here modified.

If you can save up the money, I would COMPLETELY suggest a proper retrofit for headlights! I drove over a year with HIDs in stock housings, now have gone 2 commutes to the office in the dark and OMG! It's SO MUCH NICER!!! Better light output, more controlled, and a super crisp cut-off!

As far as plates... here is my car on the lot the day I drove her home. You can see where the plate would go and how big USA plates are

As far as savings go, i'm saving for a turbo car for later when i get off my restricted license.. i'm still young :P

Oh i see what you mean with the licence plates now.. it's quite.. BIG =p
