GR86 Sapphire Blue in Norfolk

I am lol at this. I just came indoors from rolling around on the floor and contorting myself into the drivers footwell for 30 mins to try and remove this!!

Alas no joy. It won't budge!

So I guess I have to remove it like you did? What a PIA . GRrrrr h.

Yeah, it's infuriating. Maybe it's because it's transparent instead of the usual blue, so it is left in the car.

Removing it from the car is just two screws (M8 I think), but the laziness got to me first. It's a strong film and even pliers didn't remove it all. Much easier to do it inside, I'd recommend haha.

Good luck 🤞

Thanks. Sounds like a Saturday job.
 
Winter sun light is as good an excuse as any ☀️😎🤗

I really like the Sapphire, and shadow chrome would probably have been my choice for the wheel colour too.


Looks wonderful

You have some nice photos showing it off, but I think this one is my favuorite, as the dirt showing eases my jealousy a little:

Thank you, I'm so glad I got the wheels repainted. At least you can see them now.
Sapphire was my second choice after Neptune, but alas Neptune wasn't available in that batch of cars.

It's a bit of a paradox. I love the look and the shine of the paint on a clean car. But it's made to be driven, so it'll be dirty way more often than shiny 🤷‍♂️
 
First drive since December 13th as I was on holiday on the continent. Started first thing despite having been left abandoned in the cold.
The about 8-mile journey to work reminded me how responsive and good everything is 🤗

Even managed to sneak a detour to the dealership in Attleborough to pick up the cargo net that finally had been delivered.

How long can we expect the battery to stay charged without driving?

Not sure, at least 3-4 months with some struggle to start . I don't know about Toyotas but that was kind of the standard at Ford.

Here there was no delay or hesitation after 2.5 weeks, so the new battery is doing good 👍
