materia update

Forum: 

been a while since i posted, been busy.
fitted body coloured rear spoiler got it from carstyling to go in holland, cost 242.00 euros
courier damaged it & small corner piece broke off, contacted them & they discounted it
by 50% as i,d fitted it thinking they wouldn,t have it back.
bonded piece back on & stuck a small rising sun decal over hairline crack.
materias do look cool with this spoiler fitted.
had auxillary drive belt fitted as its been on since new ,vinyl wrap for roof arrived today
a job thats been long overdue will finally get done .
fog light bulbs !!!, beware cree led type hb4 bulbs are not direct fit , fog light bulb hole is just too small, i,m going to machine the hole & fit them when it stops bloody raining, i,ll let you know how i got on later .
into the realms of wheels!
i have calibre eclipse 7X16 fitted , decided to get another set of 15" alloys as tyres on orig
daihatsu wheels are nearly new semperit speed lifes (fitted when i bought the car , used for 2 weeks only), try finding 7X15 alloys that look ok with the right offset, i have decided dare rs
look the best as i like the euro/retro look, now i only have to see a wheel in the flesh with the right offset, guess what Unknw loads of places sell them but have none on display, i,ll let you know
about this later aswell

Hi Mat, Materia mods all sound very good, great car the Materia for customizing etc, have you any pics of your Materia, pity this forum doesn't get a few more visits, seems to go for weeks without anyone posting.

mods etc

i was going to post pics several times but didnt due to lack of interest.
got my 15" wheels (lenso bsx), waiting for a tyre to arrive so can fit them.
roof is being vinyl wrapped on the 18th, so i,ll post pics later.
your right about materia owners not many post on here, dont know why ! its a very popular car in holland, germany, italy,& japan etc, check owners clubs for daihatsu coo & toyota bb.
to be honest i,d given up with the forum because of lack of interest until forum sent me an email .
check my other posts if you havn,t already,thanks for your post, keep in touch.

Thanks cpg, will look at Daihatsu coo etc, Bob on this site said many owners now post on facebook, cracking car the Materia i had a 2009 grey materia manual, nothing else like it on uk roads, also some great deals about if you search, the main importers sell a lot of new Daihatsu items on ebay, i know they do a genuine set of materia mats for £18, and things like genuine dog guards etc etc, worth looking at if you have not seen, if you need the name of the ebay shop i will look it up, Cheers Dave

thanks for your reply velocette, wish mine was dark grey sometimes, wouldnt show the dirt so much.
purchased gen mats from the supplier on ebay & some chrome outer door handles (not fitted )maybe too blingy.
if it wasn,t for customs charges etc etc a supplier in mayasia can supply a gen momo steering wheel with air bag for £272.00 but charges are vicious.
coil overs are too expensive as well, lowering the front a further 10mm ( wiil be 40mm then)
spring arriving soon from germany.
cheers , cg.
