Bump and a Dropbox folder full of pics now that I’ve actually got it with me and in the sunlight

I like your style but I think if the police had a close look they'd frown upon it. Those are two fairly hefty bits of steel sticking out the back of your car directly and directly connected to the body frame. One thing you might want to think about is if someone were to crash into the back of you, you're transmitting the load in a very concentrated manor to the steel structure of the car rather than the bumper...
As for lateral load on them, I think they're fine for a bike, but wouldn't want to put much else on. When you're towing a car it often has some lateral load on the towing eye round bends and such so they are made for it.
-
That looks great, have you got any videos of what it sounds like now?
-
Best of luck, looks like a good car. A couple of months ago I'd have been on the phone to you. Wish I'd been more patient and waited for one with a manual box!
I think I've decided that trying to sell anything expensive just before Christmas, unless it can be given as a Christmas present, is not worth the hassle.
-
I don't even have a car to put it on at the moment. Definitely a new year present for myself, that one. How do they come? Just in primer or bare plastic / grp gelcoat?
-
Ah I'll wait for the next batch if you want that one willfmair, I'm in no hurry.

Bump - it case anyone hasn't seen it. Probably a little niche, mind!
-
I've technically owned it 3 weeks, I don't know how long it's been on the car however. I can ask, but as far as I know it's in perfect condition.
I believe it's a pretty easy job to fit but I'm afraid I didn't fit it, so I don't know. The original one probably won't fit in the car, no.
I'll give Fensport a call and relay these questions to them.

I've decided I don't like my carbon bonnet, and having felt how heavy the OE one isn't, I'm probably going to refit it this weekend rather than paint the carbon one.
Anyone interested?Looking for £500, part is located in Bedworth, near Coventry.
-
Sweet, that’ll sort it. Good job.
-
Something odd about the side view, either the ride height is a touch too high or your tyres are a bit too low profile. What size are they out of interest? They look very slim.
-
How much are these usually?
-
I can do instalments, I just need your bank account number and your sort code, sir.
-
so much interest, so little buying?
-
Bootlid and spoiler are alas meant for each other, the mounting work involved drilling so yes they'll have to go as a pair. As promised, here are some pictures. I've been assured there's no damage to either item so I guess it's now up to whoever gives me their offer first!
-
sorry guys, still not had the pics through. I've sent him another email.

2 hours ago, rob275 said:Are you sure? They insured me fine +100bhp...
I’m sorry, you’re right I’m talking balls, it was Chris Knott. I didn’t call Greenlight because the missus only has 20 months on her UK license and they required at least three years.
Apologies, I made far too many phone calls yesterday and got mixed up.

By the way, these are genuine questions of interest because they're affecting me in the near future... Last one, what if you buy a modified car second-hand and don't know fully what's modified and what isn't?
-
What do you expect would happen then for instance, if you hadn't told them about your, I don't know, TRD wing fins, and you pulled out in front of someone? Surely the only thing they can do is not replace your wing fins, they'd have to prove they were a contributing factor to the accident?
Obviously if you'd supercharged your engine and spun into a tree as you accelerated off a roundabout, that's a fair cop, I just don't see how something unrelated to an accident could prevent a pay out?
Do each of these things add to your premium? I've never actually had to insure a modified car before.
-
My goodness, you're thorough. You told them about LEDs and brake fluid!
-
They wouldn’t insure me, apparently you’re only allowed a 75bhp increase in power, and the last on the phone was surprisingly sarcastic for a customer service representative. Anyway, I’m curious what 57 things have you modified?
edit: this is nonsense, sorry, got my companies mixed up!

Hi all,
Having bought a GT86 with these parts, I now have them in my ownership but don't really want to keep them. They're currently being stored at Fensport. They seem to be £804 (wing) and £951 (bootlid) new , looking at the Fensport website:
I'm told they're in good condition, although I've not actually seen them. I guess it's best if they go together because the boot probably has the mounting points for the wing? Anyway, let me know if you're interested in buying. Ideally I would like around half their new value each for them (£400 and £450) so £850 for the pair, but open to offers.
Pictures will be added shortly, once I've been sent them.
Thanks

I'm signed up, be good to meet a few of you. My M3's MOT ran out so I guess I'll have to bring new '86
