Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Hi Want all your opinions on my veilside Celica, what you think?

Hi guys i am new to this site. I am going to get my first car which is a 2 year old celica. I have loved this car since i first saw it. Well now i am old enough to drive and i am getting it soon. What do you think of my first project?
Please give me your opinions!

First i want to fit a body kit and as i am a new driver i am not really looking for any engine mods yet as the insurance will kill me and so i am just looking for exterior and interior mods.

Well i want to get the kit in the link below. (KIT AT THE BOTTOM) but i want to get just the rear bumper from the blue celica. I also want to get those rims and the GT wing (FRP) in the picture.

What do you think of this? I am looking into the lambo doors aswell.

What do you guys think? Please give me your opinions as i want to learn a lot from this site thanks

umm what link

lol no link or pics.

Welcome Josh

Just FYI, don't let insurance stop you from doing engine mods. There isn't any kind of extra charge for having performance aftermarket parts on your car.

ditto

and you should get the full vielside kit it looks very good IMO

you should also at least get cold air intake, just so can beat a stock Celica, also what kind ar you getting: GT or GTS

Sorry that was stupid of me i forgot to put it in. Here it is:

And I live in London England and the rubbish thing about living here is that insurance can really kill. As i am 17 and i am getting a celica my insurance is $5100 and here in the UK if you do any engine mods or any mods at all to the car or any car you have to pay a lot of extra insurance

Thanks for the replies

Celica racer i am also going to get a massive exhaust cold air intake, They will be first.

My cousin has a 92 civic. And i have watched and helped him over the years do it up and we went to an official drag race at this place just outside london and we did the quater mile in 11 seconds, and he doesn't run nitros, he will help me with the celica. And i will just the basic celica 1.8 VVT-i i won't get the sport because that will double the insurance costs

I like the kit you've selected. I'm gettin the one on the silver celica. I belive that's the one you are interested in too? good taste

Yea thats the one. I have found that complete kit for $1500 is that a gd price? Oh and i really want to get those rims but it doesn't say anything about price anywhere does anyone know a gd site where they have prices etc? THANKS

And yea its a great kit i want to get the wing aswell but its extra

If i'll be you i will change suspention (lower it) first...
Body kit with stock suspention ...looks not so good.But it's your chose...

i think thats a genuine veilside kit if so i htink thats a good price but if you want a replica you can get those for way cheaper from various sites. pm groupbuyfor_celica he can get for ya.

Wait until you get into a fender bender, then get a body kit.

spring change sounds good

hey thats not always the case i didn't get into my first lil and mean lil scuffal was 2 months ago and didn't do much damage and i've been driving almost 6yrs

agreed same thing happened to me, I have had my lincense for a year and had 2 bump ups plus almost all my friends have had a bump up before their first year was up

What i want to do is get the body kit and put the celica on 18's. I think this is better before i lower it because the larger wheels will make the car a little higher. I wanted to completly pancake the car but here in the UK we have large speed bumps and so i can't really lower it to much. How much have you guys lowered yours?
