Nice find idd Love all the JDM extra's, especially since very few of 'em were released here in NL

Cheers Rachid

So if you happen to find another one...

Was thinking about the JDM HVAC, it's gonna be more of a pain, since if I order all the bits I'd have to make it LHD as well (motors and stuff on the heater...) Still I think I can manage

Impressive array of corolla extras that I didn't know existed. Although while some of them like the under seat storage, burger tray, multibox, additional cup holders, extra interior lighting etc look good as well as being useful, others I think will just give the interior of the car a cluttered look. Here in the UK we were given very spare factory features. It would be lucky if you got a cigarette lighter with you car. I know I had a corolla GLI wagon manual transmission. Here automatic boxes weren't even an option you pay top dollar and they give you what you were given no option. Then found out the specs of a Jap equivalent and imported a Corolla G Touring Dignis wagon. Very happy as comes with auto box, 4wd, aircon, climate contol etc etc. One thing was missing though. And because I do gardening as a job it is sometimes a messy and dusty work. I would love it if someone had for sale or if they knew of a breakers yard were they have the original touring wagon boot mat. Would be very interested, and I know you can get aftermarket ones but I like to keep most things Toyota original apart from the stereo,speakers and the odd bit here and there.

Picture of what I'm looking for. Taken from trade car view.

I'm from the smog (London)

Once went to see a corolla wagon in Manchester about 6 years ago. Quiet nice it was too. But I passed on it as it was too old and fancied a newer one with the most up to date tech.

cool, do you have any more pics of your wagon?

No none a the moment. But when I get a chance and it needs a bit of a clean mostly on the outside as the pearl tone shows up the dirt badly. The silver below looks quiet clean and it is equally as dirty but this colour is one of the best for hiding grime.

What make of car do you own by the way ?

we all own a corolla on here, heres my build thread

That particular option is very rare unfortunately. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you though. I recently found one of those for my brother's Toyota Caldina GT-T about a month or so ago, which took me forever to find, so there's still hope, lol. If there's any other options you'd like just let me know and I'll keep my eyes peeled for those too

Thanks for seeing if there will be any boot mats around. The only other option I see that would be of interest is the under seat storage tray. I wonder if it will fit a corolla ae100 wagon? Would be worth a try anyway even if I needed to adapt something a little.

No problem . Yep, the under seat storage tray will fit the AE100 wagon. The mounting holes should already be on the underside of the seat, making the installation very easy.

That's excellent if they came up would be happy to buy from you. How much do you think they would cost?

heres some pics of the secret box, owned by a member on another site

Interesting... what's the point of that lol?

store something safe in there?

Oh, I see... you need to put in the code and then it opens again!

LOL have you guys seen the Secret Box episode of Spongebob?

I never saw spongebob lol.

I was thinking of getting a multibox/secret box accessory compartment last year but decided against it as a built in car satellite navigation unit would be a much better use of that space. Funny though It always made me think that having these boxes labeled coins, cash, card on display in the car was bad bad idea.

lol, where were you going to get it from?

i want those recaro seat!!!!!!!

Yayyyy! I have variable intermittent wipers and the trunk light! lol I really want the air purifier though... and an armrest... and those Recaro seats.. and those door panels.

hahaha i want all the options lol

Here's an option that'll probably make you guys chuckle - Rare AE101 OEM optional lace seat covers.......Believe it or not, these are actually extremely rare . This is the only set I've ever seen in real-life or even online and came with my Dad's AE100 SE Limited that he used to own. We found them in the cupboard yesterday so I decided that I'd put them on my Corolla so I could take photos and show you guys. And before anybody asks, NO, I'm not keeping them on there . They were removed immediately after the photos were taken . They're designed to fit the SE Limited seats but since I'm using the GT seats with the larger side bolsters the fitment isn't perfect, but close enough to show as an example:

They look like what the old women were making when i went to cyprus in the little village's. Any idea on the cost from the dealer.
