My 93' Corolla from New Zealand (JDM AE100)

not a bad fit that... do you mind me asking which one?

iv seen alot of people use the renault laguna splitters tooo

Yeah it's almost an exact fit. All I need to do is use a heat gun to heat up the sides of the lip as the Corolla bumper curves in whereas the lip goes straight around. Heating it up will make it more pliable so I can push it in against the bumper, then I just have to urethane it in place. I'd prefer not to say which model the lip is off because I want to keep it unique, but I'll PM you

One more shot from a slightly lower angle. Please note that the split in the middle won't be noticeable once the lip is finished. It's the joiner which holds the two pieces together, but when it's painted white you won't be able to see it

nice splitter there mate, i got one off an e12 corolla and had to cut a little bit out of the middle to

ahhhh its about time you got a lip for the front bumper its been long overdue lol and it looks like a decent fit mate

Thanks mate. The bit in the middle was split from factory but fortunately I won't have to cut any of it down as the length is near perfect. It's the sides which are a bit different. A bit of urethane will fix that though

Cheers bro. Haha yeah a front lip has been long overdue for sure. I've been trying to decide on one that not only fit, but also suited the car without being too flashy or over the top.


I just bought some rare map lights from the junkyard. These were available as an optional extra when new and were fitted to each C-pillar so the back seat passengers could read maps and whatnot. I won't be using them on my car unfortunately as my interior plastic is a plum colour whereas the lights are grey. If anyone out there is interested however let me know

Well, you could install the lights even with a different color, because the color is contained within the lines of the light... if you know what I mean lol.

I'm happy to see that you will indeed fit the lip perfectly

But I was not happy to read this:

Sure, it's your call, but this is the first time I've ever seen a Corolla owner purposely keep key valuable information to himself.

Trust me Scott, you car is and will always be VERY unique!! lol. And since you are in NZ, chances of us finding that lip in Europe and US (it won't even fit the US bumper) are small.

Haha, I kind of know what you mean. I actually just took a closer look at the lights and they're black, not grey. So I suppose Toyota designed them to tie in with any interior colour.

Here's a pic of the one's CLK has in his Corolla:

Ok ok ok, I'll spill the beans . The lip is off a 1990 Nissan Bluebird SSS. I guess I wanted to keep one part of my car secret because the rest of it is very exposed throughout the internet etc, but since you put it so kindly I no longer mind sharing the info

woohoo, whew, thanks Scott, glad you didn't take that the wrong way and get offended! I mean, I completely understand how you feel about it, wanting to keep things secret so that it is unique. I have felt the same way. Of course, the stuff I do is so off the wall that no one wants to do it anyway haha

But the front lip thing is such a hot item for our car. I am glad that you finally found one!

Again, I was really just suprised that after sharing all of your other info, that you'd keep a secret for once! lol. I mean, I did notice on the forums that you were only saying "Nissan" but I knew that you knew which car it was lol.

But as I suspected, I've never even heard of that Nissan!! We sure don't have it in the US that I know of. And it wouldn't fit anyway. We'd rather use Civic lips lol.

And that is what I meant about the rear light, it doesn't have to match, it can be a complimentary color! Because you know I'd love to see this rare part in your car (trying to convince you lol)

i see you spilled lol... but it will be a nice addition to your car...

btw pm'd about the map lights

Hey, I just installed mine a few days back... Funny how parts are taken off entering the countries. Cuz if you open the pillar cover the space for it is there.

^^
do you have any pics?

Haha no worries bro. I don't take offence to things very easily . I must admit that I'm kind of glad the SSS isn't found in America as it wouldn't be the same if I saw the same front lip on another Corolla, lol. Can't wait to get it fitted

front lip looks savage,well done

Nice find on the lip and map light Scott! It'll match the side skirts and bring the car closer to perfection.

i want your junkyard

Here's my latest mod that I installed today - An OEM key light. They were a rare factory option. I got it from an AE100 Sprinter, which has the exact same interior as the Corolla. Everything was literally plug-and-play which made the job very simple. It works as soon as the door is opened, and when the door is shut it remains on for about 10-seconds and then dims out.

mann your always finding the good stuff scott , lol thats a really nice find indeed.

Great option, i like it!

Nice! Is it easy to install or do you need to mod something?

Thanks guys!

It was extremely easy to install, 100% plug-and-play in fact. There's a small plug that goes into the interior fusebox just above the fuses on the driver's side which is the plug for the interior light. All I had to do was unplug it, plug it into one end of the new loom for the key light, and plug the other end of the new loom back into the fusebox. So all the new loom essentially did was act as an extension and provide additional wires for the key light to work. Toyota made things very easy to install, which I'm very grateful for

any pictures of the plugs?

No sorry. The plug for the fusebox is located between the fuses and the relays at the top. It should have two black wires going to it (wagon models have 4 wires as they also have a second interior light mounted in the roof near the trunk). If you take off your lower dash panel you should be able to see it

you know, I was thinking over on Toyota Nation about how you said that it plugged in over the fuse box. Well I had seen the wires, and they are not very long. But that makes sense because you have RHD! So your ignition is right over your fuse box. The wires wouldn't reach for LHD.

Hmm, isn't the main interior fusebox on the driver's side regardless if the car is LHD or RHD?

Exactly.. on LHD the fusebox is also on the left. But ignition key is on right side of steeringwheel..
