    Yea I'm happy these are just the gun metal grey and not the added silver bits. Looks really nice and perfect condition

    In all honesty unless someone on this forum tells me somewhere cheaper or closer to get it i've already found a seller on Amazon for 80 pounds which is reasonable and you fit it yourself which isn't to difficult! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Toyota-GT86-Shark-Fin-Antenna/dp/B075DZSJ2G/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1506794898&sr=8-19&keywords=gt86

    Thank you Yeah the dealer has given me a slight deal on it but its still costing 400 quid! but they added that to the initial price of the car so its included in my finance WIll post more photos when its done if its obvious to the camera

    Attention the GT86 gets

    Wow xD yeah'd i guess thats because most people probably see the car (even more so if it is modded) and instantly label you as a boy racer who sits in car parks rev'ing his engine and doing donuts! Whether this is you or not is a separate matter But i think we can probably put it down to jealousy haha

    Soon to be a GT86 Owner o/

    Good evening GT86 fans! Just thought i'd finally make a post and introduce myself My names Charlie, i live in Milton Keynes and work for Thames Valley Police. I currently drive a Toyota Celica 2001 in Blue which has been an awesome car to have from the age of 21! But after many months of saving, reading reviews and staring at forums and posters i have finally placed my deposit on a GT86! I'm picking myself up a 2013 GT86 in red (manual) with only 29k on the clock. Unfortunately as the car itself is still being driven by its first owner (its being handed back to the dealer on the 29th for me to then buy) i have no idea if it has the spoiler or Pro interior spec but regardless i'm getting it anyway! In regards to mods, in the short term as funds will be low i won't be doing any mods. But in the long term (as i plan to keep this veh for at least 10 years if all goes well) will be to lower the suspension a little, get some wider tyres with some white alloys, and possibly looking into getting the stage 1.1 cosworth upgrade package to help bridge the mid-range torque dip! I am also really interested in any meet ups. If anyone knows of any local groups that meet around Milton Keynes (or anywhere in Bucks/Beds/Northants/Oxon areas) would love to know so i can come down as soon as possible! Other than that i will try to be an active member on this forum to check out other peoples ideas for mods etc and be part of the community! I will do a further post once i actually have the veh with some nice photos p.s - if the current driver of the veh MA13*** based in Milton Keynes is on this forum by any chance i would love for you to comment so i can get more details about your car as the end of the month cannot come sooner!!

    Hey @TTR! o/ Thats awesome, i live in Emerson Valley so nice and close Yeah if i'm actually off the 29th of October so provided i have my car and everything is all in order i will turn up! For the Silverstone pistonheads sunday service to i need to speak to anyone first or just turn up at a specific time? Cheers @DanJ Yeah as much as i love the BRZ as i have had a Celica for 3 years now i feel i would be a traitor if i didn't get a GT86 Thats understandable! life comes first Look foward to seeing you at a meet im sure! Hey @Mikey P Thanks for the welcome! I will look to come to the meet on the 29th Thanks @Cerastes Red initially was my last choice! But the more i look at it the more i fall for it! looking forward to getting some black alloys and black badges to really complete the red/black look im going to be going for Yeah very good price, most others i find online for 2013 at 14k ish tend to have 50k+ miles! so feel i am getting a deal I definitely would be interested in the TRD spolier, mud guards and Sharkfin. How much would each of those normally cost? and any good places to find them other than digging through forums?

    Hey Steeps! Thats great to hear, looking forward to a meet up once i have my Gt86 Would definitely enjoy a track day or two to have a go at drifting safetly before being confident for small slides on wet days! Yeah Steven egual in mk must have convinced this guy to trade in so i reserved the veh straight away due to the low mileage it has Thanks for the advice on the cosworth kits. I'll definitely take a look at amber performance and see what they offer as any package deals etc as i would prefer to pay someone a lump cost to do a package deal than source the parts myself then pay for labour as i would end up making a mistake! And don't worry, i'm not an officer, just take the 999 calls, i'm definitely very heavy footed myself. Regularly driving home on the a34 at 120 with my poor little celica gasping for a break xD

    Hey Lauren Ah okay good to know as i prefer it with the spoiler! i presume then that mine won't have the heated seats then? i can live without this anyway And yes its coming in as a part exchange so the driver is getting a 2017 model. Yes very good price, getting it for 13.5k, looking online for the same price you cant get anything under 50k miles so im happy with 29k! And thanks for the advice on the torque dip As i have read many times on this forum i will first drive the car for 3-6 months and enjoy it for what it is before changing anything though I'm going from a 16 year old 140bhp to a 4 year old 200 so im sure the torque dip won't bother me at all!
