Auris - Lack of Inspiration
 
Started this Toyota Auris SR 180 about a week ago and it's been fighting with me. Firstly, the wheels - Couldn't find ones that matched (still not sure about the ones that are on it). Secondly, it's screaming to have some kind of design on it - some sort of checkered flag or something red, but nothing too OTT... :confused:
Any inspirational ideas are gladly welcome ;)

Well i definetly think the wheels have to go then if i was you i'd wide arch it, take off the liscence plate and badge and proberly do something with the front lights but not sure what yet lol :D

RebelRaven 04-14-2009 03:01 PM

Well here it is with new wheels on it (thanks to BT959). The idea for this one is just to make it look a little more sporty... Kinda like the Nurburgring Astra, so don't really want to take off the badge or change it too radically.

LOL gave myself an idea! :D

Will see how the wheels look in black and the caliper in red

BadBlood 04-14-2009 05:56 PM

yer they look heaps better than mine coz your going for the sporty look
i think for the one i did , it looks more like a show car with those other wheels

blackace 04-14-2009 11:26 PM

Looking good so far and i agree about the badge aswell. Seriously tho wide arch it add some decals, side vents (above the front wheel arch if ya can) and maybe some sort of bonnet vents (like the DB9's i think)

Not the best at wide arching cars, but I'll have a go and see how it turns out.

:o Thanks... Stole them from an Nurburgring Astra :D

RebelRaven 04-17-2009 12:13 PM

Well, here's the Auris minus the badge and the number plate and also with a red caliper. Having a bit of trouble finding a vent of some sort for the bonnet that will match up/look good. Same with decals.

Well..let me try a different approach here then Raven.
The red mirror draws too much attention.
You have this nice sleek and sexy white shape with a red dot in the middle of it.
Mirrors are one of those things that are necessary from a functional standpoint but totally suck from a design standpoint. They ruin the lines, create drag and are nothing more than an ugly appendage. In my opinion you want to blend mirrors, not accentuate them. Thankfully in the very near future, technology will phase them out and mirrors will eventually end up like the chrome bumper, the aerial antenna and the dodo bird. :D

WHITE CARBON FIBRE :D Or do a race flag type of thing :)

blackace 04-17-2009 04:08 PM

I was thinking a raceflag style aswell lol so ya can keep the car away from boy racers style to track car :D

RebelRaven 04-17-2009 04:44 PM

A race flag was my original idea, but it's finding one that will suit that car and not be too... too... too tacky? :confused:
Maybe something like this?
