Its against my better judgement and my advice would be, don't fit an FTO wing to your Celica, but.....

Measure the distance between the mounting points of the wing.

Measure the surface on the car where you want to fit the wing.

See if you have got access under where the holes will go in your car.

Drill holes and bolt wing to car.

That is a bad *cough* you have there mate ! Rolling Eyes

To answer the question - I have a big aversion to putting non-Toyota stuff onto a Toyota, especially aesthetic 'improvements' such as wings and spoilers that give no performance gains at steet driven speeds, or any given speed for that matter.

Was it designed for the car originally?
What are the chances you will get a better result if you fit it?

Its a super gay idea, dont do it.

Keep in mind that is my personal opinion and it shouldnt reflect if you do it or not.

Cheers,
James

do you need to lay off the coffee??

anyways... there was a small spoiler that came on the ST18x coupes, whether it was specifically the 184, i cannot say, it may only be the 182s...

Cheers,
James.

alpha - i believe the coupe did come with a small wing on the back as an option - look on th back of any EL falcon and youll see a similar wing i believe ..

Seriously though - the guys are right on his one - money wise - put your wing cash into say - suspension or nice rims - and youll be a happier car driver Smile

actually, i got another (stupid) question looking for help

i want to change a 16"or 17" rims, what's the thing i should concern??do i need to change the whole parts?with the suspension? or it's can be fit in my car even i don't change it?

i got the orginial one should be a 15" on my car.

Is it really got a difference if i change a 17"? or just the looking?

how do i know the new wheel will fit in my car??

BTW, i am looking for a front bumper, the paint is very bad. i have to change another one, or get it reprint, anyone know how much is the paint work?


Thanks all guys..^^

(ignore my gammers pls...i am just a non-english guy...^^)

If u want new maybe even bigger wheels then offsetis what u should look at.

I'd assume any tyre shop will have the offset of your car on their books so they will be able to tell you what wheels you can put on ur car.

Also if u change the profile of the tyres then ride quality might change, but i'm not 100% sure the car might even handle better i've never had a car the same as yours and put 17" wheels on it.

To repaint your front bumper will most likly be cheaper than buying a new one so i would suggest it.
unless the front bar you have now is damaged.
