My 08 Yaris D-4D TR

Good evening folks!!!

A couple of months ago I bought myself a 2008 Toyota Yaris TR D-4D. Had only 31,000 on the clock, has 90BHP standard, £30 a year to tax and insurance was £450 for the year.

Happy days.

This is what she looked like the day I bought her.



First thing I did was get the windows tinted and ordered some Heko Wind deflectors of ebay Set the car off just nice I think :)



So Monday I headed off out to see the local tint and vinyl wrap bloke. He very kindly fit me in at short notice to tint my lights (He used the fly eye stuff) and carbon wrap my bonnet! I will be heading back to him in a few weeks to wrap my roof too. He did an absolutely shit hot job!



So this is how she's standing so far :) Wednesday I shall be de rubstripping and de badging the car and hopefully spraying my front and rear toyota emblem black.

All I got to do now is lower the car and buy new wheels. I'm really struggling to decide to go just springs or coiliee, and I have no idea what wheels I want to get! When she's done though, I aim to have her looking like this:



I look forward to showing you all my progress :)

Nice

The Carb-Fi hood looks awesome with that color!

must say mate I was reluctant to get it done at first. Didnt think there was much point! So glad I did now though. really happy with it and it doesn't stand out too much! Very subtle :)

Subtle is good....usually Carb-Fi is the focal point and detracts from the rest of the car.

Like what you've done there!

Looking good so far. I don't think we ever had that color offering on the US Yarii, it looks great! And 67mpg?! I assume this is a diesel?

It sure is :) I'm getting between 50 and 55mpg on short journeys :) I do a lot of miles due to my photography business so this is amazing for me!!!

You dont have Tacuma Grey in the states?????? I feel sorry for you! This colour is stunning! The first thing that attracted me to it :)

This ~65 mpg is with Imperial gallons or "American" gallons?

Here in the US we have hybrids from Toyota but no diesels.

Thought so.

Still I would like to see how many mpgs I could get with a diesel!

In Canada in 2011 diesel was still less than gas.

It's imperial mate! With the price f fuel around here it's very much needed. Diesel here in the UK can be as much as £0.12 per litre more expensive! I'm surprised there is no diesels in the states! As I hear fuel isn't much cheaper than what it is in the UK!
