New here from Australia

Hello Everyone

While I am not a newbie to internet forums I am new here

Just purchased a 2010 Yaris 5 door hatch in White

So far I have added:
Darkest legal tint
Rear Spoiler
Mudflaps (They arent standard in Australia)
17inch custom chrome rims and low profile tyres.

I have to wait for the custon paint job because of the hail damage cars that need reapir here in Western Australia, which suits me as I still have artwork to look at

I have had some flak about doing up the Yaris but I think its my car so I should be able to modify it anyway that I wish, I have had a 2006 3 door Yaris

This is the first small car I have modified, I normally work on hotrods, I sold the 32 woody which was a daily driver and sold the 38 Dodge pickup when it was a 3/4 finished. This is a big big engine downsize.

While I am married it is I that modifies the cars, I work in a steel fabrication company as their admin/accounts manager which makes it easy to get some raw materials, I also ride motorcycles. having owned Ninja,s and Ducati's.

Hi Wendy, welcome to Toyota Nation!

You're practically only a short swim away from me (well, not really, but you know what I mean ).

The new Yaris sounds nice, especially with the 17" wheels and window tint . Feel free to post some pics in the Show & Share forum sometime!

It sounds like you're going to fit in well here. Enjoy the forums

Thanks for the warm welcome

I'll take some photos of the car and post them up,

Kiwi-Land..........God's contry, most of it anyway, I love the south island around Invercargil (SP) way.

A visit there is on my bucket list, I plan to hire a winabego and get lost for a couple of months.
