Polar White Hatch - Toyota Yaris Forums

acrbill · 11-28-2006, 08:37 PM

Picked up my polar white hatch yesterday. No power, 5spd. convenience package.

Its supposed to snow later in the week so I decided to put a coat of wax on before the salt is on the roads. I was just going to wash it and put a coat of glaze and wax. Upon closer inspection there was all sorts of contaminants in the clear coat so I spent over an hour going over the entire car with a clay bar.
I put a coat of mothers sealer/glaze and topped if off with carnuba.

By the time I got finished with the detailing I ran out of daylight so I found the closest parking lot to snap a few pics.

you have my car! ;)

how much did you pay OTD? i paid 13,2.

hope you enjoy it as much as i am enjoying mine! i've put on two coats of wax so far and changed out the tranny oil to redline mt-90.

take care.

Congratulations, nice looking ride you have there. Know you're going to love it.

Ride with pride.

Congrats! Nice looking ride! Pardon my ignorance but what is that green in between the hood and the bumper/quarter panels? Maybe its just the photo and lighting

Happy motoring.

I took it off when I washed it. It will go back on unfortunately.

$12,900 is the number it worked out to, but it really doesnt mean anything since they had to work some magic with my trade in.

Grats on your new car. Let me know how it handles in snow. I have a friend who wants one, but they live in snow country and were wondering how it takes to the snow.

wish we coudl take off the front plates in IL :(

Lets get some more IL yaris folks in here - that way we can have more for the meet :)

acrbill · 11-29-2006, 10:07 AM

I drove around for 3 years with no front plate on my Escort. I was going to tell them not to screw the plate into the bumper but it was too late since they do that when they first get the car. Now that there are ugly holes I figured I might as well put it on.

I already decided that my first mod is going to be power locks and keyless entry.
Using the key is for the birds. I guess I'm going to have to order a universal 4 door setup so I can do the hatch as well.

Took the Yaris out on the tollway today and it performed quite admirably. Had no problem settling in at 75mph. It tracked straight and handled some heavy gusts of wind. I had hoped to take my favorite off ramps at speed, but it was very cold and we had a bit of freezing rain.

solarVitz · 12-05-2006, 11:16 PM

nice. white is definitely a very nice and clean color. ill probably getting white also. congrats.

60 Somethings · 12-06-2006, 01:04 AM

OR and WA definitely are - think CA is too, but I managed to keep a front plate off of my '74 Alfa Spider when we lived there (like 18 yrs).
