I didnt think a Corolla saloon would strike so much interest
for the moment, I think I'll just go with getting new bubls, oem alloys, maybe a set of fog lights and probably a spoiler for the back (original toyota one again, the low-down type).
Personally, I would love to go down the whole coilovers route but the car is too good to do that to it just yet.. Maybe when I clock up more miles :pac:0 -

Use original bits and write off the cost when you buy something else. That car will be a rarity...might take 20 years but it will be.
In the meantime well wear.0 -

Nothing wrong with Thurles people but yeah looking back at the photo the bales do look a bit off, but they are intended to be round
I remember selling a car from the farmyard before (it was off the road for a couple of years, had to be towed away) and the people coming to buy it spent more time walking around the farm and asking about the animals than actually asking about the car! They came back the day after with their kids - I genuinely felt like some sort of tour guide!

i can't believe so many people are telling you to leave it alone tbh. it's your car, do whatever you want. Corollas are so so customisable in a tasteful fashion as there are so many models and variants from so many markets that there is an endless list of OEM toyota stuff you can get for it.
if it was lowered with a few factory goodies on it, it would be a really nice car.
you know there is an increasingly popular mod where people fit the inlet manifold, throttle body and injectors from a 140bhp Celica which are all relatively easy to do D.I.Y. and lads are seeing 120~bhp with their 1.4 engines. these parts are direct replacements for the ones you remove and are dirt cheap to buy second hand.
As suggested, facelift tail lights would be a great place to start. without getting into the boring details, there are a host of different interiors and dashboard styles to chose from, T3 seats would look great in that car, particularly with cool blue.
fitting front fogs or the T3 side skirts would look pretty cool too, even more so if you lowered it.
these are the wheels Colm is suggesting, lovely wheels but finding a set might be tricky
you should also keep an eye out for Corolla T-Sport wheels, there is always a set or two on donedeal, they would look great on your car too and being 16's they would fill the arches a little better.

Thanks for the suggestion, i love the look of those Yaris alloys! Next thing ive to do now is find a decent car dismantiler that will have plenty of toyota parts, f3ck all on donedeal and none of my local dismantilers have anything (no car dismantiler in Thurles, had to travel to Clonmel, Nenagh and Portlaoise)0 -

I'll try get around to all that this evening. Thanks so much for all the help and suggestions, i'll let you know how I get on!

was thinking i might buy a used Mark Levinson for it :pac:
could be salvageable but it looks like i'd have to break solder to check any further and that is beyond me skill level. i'd say a repair place could do it, but i'd end up paying them the price of a new head unit, which seems a little stupid.
googled that stereos model number and apparently it's pretty common.
the only thing still on the car now that was there when i bought it is the ****ing paint job

washed her yesterday. Still need to get fog lights. Bought a polisher a few months ago, but it's amazing when you go to start polishing your car how you notice every chip and dent. Started trying to fill chips months ago and tried to learn a bit of pdr to get minor dents out. Havn't made a whole lot of progress since.

It is their car but they did ask. The saloon corolla doesn't take well to mods. A set of genuine 15 inch alloy wheels (like the ones in the pic below) and maybe genuine front fog lights are about they only tasteful mods for the saloon.
