Darrin 7 Report post Posted April 1, 2022 Hello everyone, I’m Darrin and I’ve just bought the car I’ve always wanted. I’ve always had sensible, family type cars on PCP deals. Then suddenly lost my dad, inherited a little bit of money and thought - life is too short. So, much to the wife’s dismay, last Saturday I bought an 86. To be fair, we only have one teenage lad and she has an Evoque to run us all around in - so I think she’s just jealous. My lad loves it and I’m clearly the coolest dad on the school run! I’ve joined the club because I know nothing about the cars except they look fantastic and handle like a dream. I hope to get out to some meets during the year to have a nosey at everyone else’s. Hope everyone is doing ok. Darrin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 1 _Mac_ and RocknRoll Guitar Star reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not many of them out there i don't think.I have noticed a few folk comment on the lack of rear spoiler - is that because it wasn’t spec’ed in 2017?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That’s exactly the same spec I bought brand new back in 2017. They did two trim levels back then. A GT86 which is what yours is and a GT86 pro which gained half leather and perforated alcantara interior with heated seats and alcantara door trim. Plus the black aluminium boot spoiler and a sat nav stereo. I wasn’t fussed about the seats and didn’t like the boot spoiler so saved myself £2k and bought the same one as you. I’ve have since added a 5 axis boot lip spoiler as I think it finishes off the rear of the car nicely. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have half leather seats and have heated seats, a Sat nav stereo, alcantara door trim (and dash). Have you a photo of the 5 axis boot lip spoiler fitted on your car? My log book states GT86 Pro D-4S. So I’m thinking it’s a pro but for some reason doesn’t have the spoiler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luke 193 Report post Posted April 20, 2022 So far as I know you couldn’t order a pro without the boot spoiler, however they might of had a friendly dealer who swapped the boot for a non spoiler version. Either way here is my non pro with the boot lip spoiler. 1 Darrin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
