続・フェンダー交換
2017年7月30日
2017年8月5日
昨日の続きを改めて…。
部品倉庫(と言いつつただの納戸w)からスペアのフェンダーを引っ張り出してきて、一人黙々と装着。
しかし何か変だ。インナーフェンダーが付かない。ネジ穴が届かない？？
車体下から這い出してきて、ちょっと遠くから左右を見比べてみたら、片方だけ下膨れになっとった。
なんだこりゃ。バンパーよりの部分だけ下側が広がってたのか？確かにバンパー付ける時になんか角度が合わなかったけど…。
保管中に歪んだのかな？1号機の残骸のはずだけど、1号機に付いてた頃から歪んでたのかな？？
ある意味オーバーフェンダーだけど、普通延長するのは上側だろうが…。
このままではアンダーパネルも付かないし、インナーフェンダーやたぶんリップスポイラーも付かないので、ムギュムギュ押してそれっぽく戻してやった。
やれやれ。ムギュムギュやる過程で、フェンダーのフチ(リップを固定するネジ穴のあたり)が割れちゃったけど、気にしないことにする。
ていうか、これ、わざわざ交換する意味あったんだろうか…？

Hi there! I am a ST206 owner from Hong Kong, sorry I do not know much Japanese but I searched “カレン 左フェンダー” on google and found your blog. My Curren has been sitted under a tree for over a year by the previous owner and I wanted to raise it from dead! Could you please let me know where I can find “カレン 左フェンダー” in Japan, better in white colour like yours? Also do you know this front bumper -> “https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v507496017” will fit on Curren? Please let me know I will wait for your reply!

Hi Lim-san.
Recently, it is hard to get the Curren’s parts, I think…
If I look for it, I will use Yahoo Auction or used parts site (e.g. http://www.recojapan.com/).
By the way, this fender is the remains of my first curren. :-p
The bumper you found is probably TRD Sports Curren.
(e.g. https://autos.goo.ne.jp/used/detail/700050081130170508001.html)
You found a good one!
I wish you’ll restore your Curren successfully. Good Luck!
Really appreciated for your reply! I rather prefer the front lip of your Curren, I think its “HIRO Body Kit” right? I can’t find any of those on Yahoo Auction… but on some Russian website, tried to contact the seller but no reply at the moment…
On the other hand, I really want to know if you could find another carbon fiber bonnet for Curren like yours? I think my Curren is the only one running in Hong Kong so the parts are very rare here…
Yes. This lip is “HIRO”.
Mmm, official website has gone? The maker went bankrupt?? I have not seen much in the auction recently…
My carbon bonnet is semi-order made. Over 10 years ago, a shop made only 10 bonnets. I have the 1st of them.

Today, another shop seems to make a carbon bonnet for Curren. Check the below.
https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w37483476
They have 3 type of bonnet.
– Carbon (Clear paint)
– Carbon (Black gelcort)
– FRP (Black gelcort)
Its so hard to find HIRO front lip… I can only found a in Russia. So I am thinking to buy “Okuto” one I think its in Okinawa, similar to “Varis”. To link below:

But still asking for the shipping cost to Hong Kong…
And the bonnet looks nice! I will think about it (shipping is so expensive….)
Thank you!
Additional information.
‘White color’ of Curren has two type. Be careful.
– Color No. 049: white pearl mica (ホワイトパールマイカ)
– Color No. 040: super white 2 (スーパーホワイトⅡ)
My Curren is 049.
(This is reply to http://farine.orz.hm/~tapo/blog/?p=5263#comment-17762)
The size of aero parts is large, so the shipping will be higher…
I found a example of “Okuto” user.
http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/797534/car/676867/3552144/parts.aspx
He said, “Reasonable, but fitting was so-so…”
Now, there is few maker makes aero parts for Curren.
Using these parts as materials, arranging, you can finish your special Curren!
たぽsan!
Its been awhile since your last reply!
During the time I have the fender, rear bumper and HIRO front lip (YES! My friend found one new posted on yahoo auction and I won it!). Now waiting for the front lip to be arrived in Hong Kong. I will definitely post the after-photos here:D
Hi Lim-san!
Congratulation!
I’ll be waiting for your photos.
Please send mail, or upload to other photo site and tell me the URL.
Thank you!
I just realized that your front bumper has been cut for the front lip’s air tube!
Yes.
That is air duct for brake.
