Looking very nice.
Ref the headlights, I wonder if for a car that is more an occasional use, it is worth just putting some kind of cover when parked up (maybe even just a microfibre cloth) over them to stop the UV from yellowing them again so fast?

Thanks David :TU: I do put a coat of Colinite wax on them each time i wash it, not sure how long a cloth cover would last without em going walkies :yes: |

I'm hoping to get the front bumper fitted some time this week but i have managed to get a rear bar/step none genuine but looks nice which will also be fitted. I have noticed that on each bracket there seems to have been something attached to protect whatever it's fitting against as there are black marks still left on the chrome. Any idea what that might have been?    |

Brother came and fitted the front and rear bumper/step yesterday and finished off this morning doing other little jobs and one was the fuel pipe which was in good nik considering but have still rubbed it down and rust proofed it, but while we was at it he noticed the rear disc had quite a bit of a lip and said that he would replace em for us if we wanted  I have had a quick look at prices and came onto this site Bob linked to before and found THESE to choose from. Which would you choose, if any or what would you recommend and also which pads?? Oh well i can't get the link to load correctly but the choices are eicher premium, Pagid, Mintex, Brembo.
Or stay with genuine Toyota parts? |

Apart from Charlie's issue I am not aware of problems with Pagid. Have them all round on my RAV and they perform well with acceptable levels of dust.

If I was buying for my car it would be Pagid or Blueprint ...then Toyota if I spotted any bargains on eBay 👍🏻

OK then thanks folks Mintex it is Only kidding just ordered the Pagids from carparts4less  Was there a thread on the old forum saying they were better than the genuine parts?? Just gotta wait about seven days the telephone message said for delivery as due to Covid they are extremely busy |
