    Thanks Paul. May follow up but at the moment just enjoying the car.
  4. May take my GT86 overseas for trips and would like a spacesaver. There are companies that offer wheels but I would then need to by a screw to hold it down and then buy or make a platform to fit over it to take weight in the boot, stow the tools as foam holders would not fit etc. has anyone else already done this and knows anyone that provides these parts?

    Windscreen glare

    Just joined so apologies if this topic has been exhausted earlier. In the sun the glare in the windscreen of my GT86 above the instruments is terrible. Never had a problem this bad in my previous cars. Reading all the posts, Mats seem to be mostly in the USA. Sprays can cause damage. Sticking on fibers takes a long time and is possibly not reversible. Polaroid glasses are recommended. Has anybody found a easy, simple, reversible, non-damaging solution?

    Parking Sensors

    I bought a GT86 a few months ago. My village has no street lights and reversing at night in my last Toyota Avensis in the pitch black was a nightmare. It had a camera but it was hopeless in the dark. I had aftermarket rear sensors fitted. Had the proper Toyota ones fitted by Toyota (There are cheaper options out there and DIY). Not cheap, £229.17. but they are excellent. Front ones are available on some Toyota models but not I was told on the 86.
  7. I bought my first GT86 in Oct. 2016 from Toyota. 2014 model. Found the previous owner had made a number of modifications. All parts from Fensport and are on their WWW site. I have kept most of them but : Car was lowered with TEIN Luxury Master High Tech Spring Set - Front -25mm, Rear -25mm. Bought from Fensport July 2015. Now £156. Unfortunately where I live and drive this made the car too low (though it looked and drove very well) so I have had to revert to standard springs. It had SAMCO sport Red radiator hose set. Now £97 which Toyota said had to be changed back if I wanted warranty. Which I did. So, now for sale - 4 springs and 4 hoses (+6 large cable clamps and 1 small). Sell as 2 items or one. No idea what they are worth so will take best offer by 14th April. I live just North of Bedford (UK) and would prefer collection but will post as cost if required. Dave.
