Best part is that the knocks are gone

To be replaced by some rattles in due course no doubt

Since the Celica isn't acting up since about 2 months (knock on wood), it's time to concentrate on her looks.
So i ordered these:



That's about as much i will change exterior wise (except maybe finally repainting).
Next on my wishlist are plasma dials but they became pretty expensive since i last bought them for the Mazda... Painting parts of the dash is something I'm contemplating as well.

Seems like you are pretty happy with this car overall, right? Well deserved after such a terrible journey.

Just my luck, the tail lights were due to be delivered between 8am and 6 pm, I had to drive my wife to work between 12.30 and 1.15 pm. Of course the delivery dude came within that 45 min. timeline...
Same for tomorrow but I'll be home then,except between 8.30 and 9 am and have to start work at 4 pm.
I do hope this won't happen twice.

I just don't understand that in these modern times they cannot estimate a time of delivery narrower than the 10 hrs they estimate now...

The tail lights came in yesterday but haven't had time to fit them yet.
What's troubling though is that they don't have the E-mark needed for them to pass MOT.
They were advertised as being certified so i e-mailed the seller for an explanation:
