Hello house,

I drive a Toyota corolla 2010 LE and I have always seen Toyota as a boring car, I got mine from Nairaland and so far I have upgraded the car to look like a 2012 model, what I want to do now is to change the instrument cluster light and also the HVAC lights from the boring orange color to either while or blue.

I will like to know if any nairalander has done this before. I am excited and looking forward to doing this.


List of things that I have done after buying the car

Changed the wheels to alloy wheels
Changed the front shocks and Stabilizer linkage
DIY installation of steering volume control
Changed the front grille to the 2012 corolla grille
Changed the headlight from the boring light to the dark one for 2012
Finally installed the 2012 trunk with boot spoiler.

so where is a pic of your new look corolla

see pictures below

Pictures for the final look.

I am hoping to get something like any of these done.

I thought you'll install a 3 pistoned Brembo ceramic brakes up front and a 2 pistoned type in the rear, Slam a K&N supercharger with intercooler to boost the engine, install a Recaro sports bucket seat, gear shifter and steering wheel, install a Holstein coiloversand then slam an 18" Velocity VW830 Chrome Wheels, slap a HID up front and LED at the rear.

OP oya go and install these parts before I vex

So if it was that boring for you to start throwing money at it to make it look better you should not have bought it. There are more interesting brands out there VW, Audi, Ford, Kia have cars that look better than Corolla

I get you sultaan , trust me for some of us in lagos, your day to day lifestyle determines the kind of car you will drive. though I drive a Toyota, I am still not a fan of Toyota.. economically it is fine for me.. and of course i will upgrade some day to the brand I love.

My brother, how much have you spent so far? And how did you do the DIY steering volume controls? Cos I want to do same on mine. Thanks

Please i want to buy a Toyota Corolla S. Please whois your car dealer that you bought yours from? Please urgently from today to sunday.

Don't be in a hurry to buy a car. You may not get what you want & might even get swindled. Do check the Autos section to carefully, you'd definitely have a profound choice to make.

PAQ:
Pls, I own a 2011 corolla Le, I am hoping to give it an S Upgrade. In that view I would like to know how much for these parts;
Blacked out Headlights
Front, Rear Bumper and side skirts

I dont mind getting dem used, but clean if it will be cheaper.

Since I will be replacing my headlights, will the old ones have any value? Or trade in and add something for the new one?

Buying a new car is quite expensive now, we can only make our old cars new again.

I live in Abuja, this is my number 08056416901
