Its a fog light.. We must have one fitted to the car by law over here.. Thanks for your comment.

No plans.. Want to keep it as orginal as possible.. its only used as a weekend/fun car.

Does it have to be on the right side only? for ocd/symmetrical reasons, I'd put one on the left too.

Welcome ^_^

Welcome ^_^

Cheers, im going to get it built into the back cluster so it will be gone next week..

 

[Mark s]

Got the fog light built into the cluster today.. looks alot better.

Does anyone know where i can get two center caps for the Racing Sparco alloys as im missing two and seem to be hard to get anywhere.

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

Wow. Very clean looking Supra. Excellent purchase.

the "real EDM " rear fogs are built in below the plate and just off to the sides. I want a set.

They look like the newer AUDI"S here in the states

Welcome to SM. That is one gorgeous looking MKIII. And the 1JZ is such a nice, smooth powerplant.

As for your center caps, I would probably make a telephone call to a large wheel/tire supplier. Here in the states, I would use Discount Tire Direct or Tire Rack, for instance. They should know the dimensions of the center cap you need. And for something like that, a phone call is MUCH more productive than a Google search.

If you come up empty on that, let me know. I'd be willing to make a call or two on our side of the pond on your behalf. (Just drop me a PM on this site)

Cheers,
Bill

Could be the torsen cover.

OP: Very clean car man. You European guys have nice cars.

I'll watch this thread if my inbox doesn't light up. I once spent an afternoon crawling thru local junkyards here in Florida to find a MKI Supra badge for an Aussie acquaintance who said they were next to impossible to find down under. I figure the effort spent is good kharma.
