First thing I did was try and get insurance on it. Comparethemarket don't see it either

So happy I went blue

Both front and black plates drilled, hope they listen to those of us asking them not to do that on ours!

Nice to see our exhausts appear to stick out the correct amount as well, unlike the US cars.

That does look fantastic. Mind you, from what I've seen on reviews, so does the black, red, white etc - I can't wait to see them up close.

There's not a bad colour across the board which is great. Other manufacturers really mess this up and stay with bland colours

There seems to be a distinct lack of (rear) parking sensors on the car =[
Looks like I'll have to get used to it after 10 years of them haha

Good spot. If that turns out to be dealer fit as part of a parking pack then I'll probably leave them off I think

My brothers first gen 86 has sensors but feel very after market. It was a dealer fit option (have the invoice) and they don't look as OEM as today's sensors but they are color coded, if not brilliantly (pearl white is hard anyway

Got a reply on Instagram, dynamic press release this week and press reviews after that, so not long to wait

I'm beginning to wonder: "should I have gone blue?"

In which case I'd be more inclined to give the camera only a go first and see how I got on. Mine is Pearl white too.

It's not a big car, side mirrors are pretty big or rear visibility is OK. The camera solves the rear screen issue but I've always found maneuvering in the last 86 fine.
