James Hilton 4 Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Picked up my new GT86 on the 18th of August from Macrae & Dick Toyota Inverness. Spec: Red Aero Half leather heated seats Centre armrest JBL sound pack DAB Sat Nav Roadhawk HD dashcam Covered just over 1,200 miles since it got it and ran it in by staying out of 6th gear and cruise control, and drove in one lower gear than I usually would. Every 250 miles I up'd the revs from 4,000 rpm by 500 rpm until reaching 1,000 miles. Now I can really enjoy it! Been down to AMD Details of Elgin to buy a whole load of new washing and detailing stuff. They sell some of the best products I've used on any of my cars. Anyone looking to get the Aero, Toyota have changed the spec slightly by getting rid of the OZ Racing alloys and replaced them with their own black ones and added a black tip to the rear spoiler. Both of which I think look much better if the car is in red. Going to de-badge 'Toyota' & 'GT86' on the car this week and PlastiDip the front and rear Toyota badges black. I'm also looking to fit some Jap style plates, however I'm looking for some number plate mounts (front & rear). Does anyone know where to get some that don't require any drilling into the bumpers? 4 jimmyjimmyjimmy_, GT86-Ian, Lauren and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Congrats! Looks very nice. Probably a bit challenging but any chance of some pics where you can see the actual wheels more clearly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Hilton 4 Report post Posted September 5, 2015 Gonna give the car a wash today so I'll stick up a couple of pictures of the wheels and spoiler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking perhaps fitting the Jap style plates just using the sticky pads. 330mm wide x 165mm high front and rear plates where what I was looking at getting from Demon Plates. Anyone know if the holes left from removing the front number plate mount would be hidden just by using pads? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foulsmell 120 Report post Posted September 5, 2015 Lovely looking car. You do realise if you de-badge it people will think it's a Vauxhall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foulsmell 120 Report post Posted September 6, 2015 Lol in what way would people think that it was a Vauxhall? It's seems to be the reserve of the Vauxhall owner to de-badge. Either that or they just fall off because of regret and apathy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varelco 211 Report post Posted September 6, 2015 Struggling to see the relationship with debadging and vauxhalls. Anyway, IMO I prefer removing off the badges on all my cars it cleans up the rear end 2 adam and Tareim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ztox 230 Report post Posted September 6, 2015 You will cover the holes on the front fine James, they are inside the holes on the mount. On the rear, my holes were kind of raised slightly, not sure if that will cause an issue. I've just drilled the new plates and used the holes, although I do need a sticky pad for the bottom really as it flaps a bit when I close the boot Take a look at my project thread for an Aero with a Jap style rear plate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
