TheCaptain 8 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Hey all, been a member over on gt86ownersclub thought I'd make an account here too, so just saying hello. I'm from around Sutton so will say hello if I see any of you guys! I have a 14 plate red 86. Don't some minor mods including black badges, sequential valenti tail lights, cobra catback and rota force wheels. 1 Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're the ones I brought. Genuine Valenti sequential off thespeedline. Cost about £190 after import tax 🙁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Welcome. Same lights as mine. I was looking at black badges too, trying to find somewhere that is reasonable for them. They all seem to be expensive just for a plastic badge. 1 TheCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemo 24 Report post Posted April 6, 2017 Welcome! Was good seeing you today - hopefully see you again soon around the area. That cobra exhaust does sound nice! (I'll probably be putting my coated JDL decat uel headers up soon if you eant to make it louder and rumblier....)

They all seem to be expensive just for a plastic badge. I just used plasti dip mate. Takes about half hour/45 minutes but you can always peel it off so if you mess it up or fancy going back to chrome. Very easy stuff to use. 👌 Brought the genuine stuff off amazon for about £20 or halfords sell a similar product called rusteze I think. It's cheaper, would need to do an extra coat or 2 as its a bit thinner but just as good in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't see you sure I would have noticed your car haha. Was out with the misses last weekend in her car driving through coulsdon and you drove past and she goes "why didn't you get a white one it looks so much better then red!" I can't win.

rob275 1817 Report post Posted April 7, 2017 I'm not using the 86 as a daily anymore, keep an eye out for a blue Auris estate and it'll have me in it She's right though, white is better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCaptain 8 Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Must be so depressing driving that after your 86 😂 Mate literally I can't win. When I had the crash she kept going on about now's my chance to get a "nice" colour and one that doesn't look like a hair dressers car. You seen me? Do I look like a hair dresser!? 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted April 7, 2017 I get stick for having red too. It's just jealousy, at least I hope it is. 2 TTR and TheCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted April 10, 2017 Glad to see someone else who's gone for black on red. It does work nicely . Yours is a lot cleaner than mine though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 TheCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't had the time to read through it all had a little skim, sounds absolutely ridiculous but mate I'd love to see that in person once it's finished! Definitely going to be following this haha. Kinda shits on me trying to get my UEL fitted and tuned... 🙈😂 1 smudge reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
