Just wondering if anyone knows if they are sold out now and how many cars were in the second batch? Did everyone on the waiting list who wanted one get invited to buy?

Looks great. Definitely prefer to black. What was the cost and did they spray them or powder coat?

I guess there must be a few curbed wheels out there by now. Has anyone had reasonable results using a touch up pen? I used a black sharpie to make mine a bit less noticeable but thinking of doing something a bit more permanent. I’ll probably smooth the scuff with a dremel first. Interested...

With talk of a second batch from Toyota, why would you pay a flipper £35-40K for a nearly new second owner car, when there is a chance to get a brand new one for £30-33K. Doubt prices will increase until after the extra cars are announced

5 minutes dabbing the area with a permanent marker pen will make it a lot less noticeable, don’t ask me how I know.

A long while back I had a very nice e46 325i coupe sport that I left at one of those car parks - you leave the keys and they were supposed to park on-site . When I returned from holiday at 1AM they had lost my keys - they said someone had taken it home with them accidentally - still suspicious...

When I checked with a paint thickness gauge it wasn’t too bad, around 120um. The issue is the paint is very soft and will scratch if you just look at it.

You can also do it fairly easily without dropping the glovebox off. You should be able to see the silver box and the connector in the bottom from the side panel. You’ll need to use a flat blade screwdriver to push the tab in. Access this from the glovebox (there is a hole in the top left when...

Probably not much difference, I guess nice to have Toyota stamped on it as per the original rather than something else. On my other car I just asked the insurance to fit OEM glass and they didn’t argue, just took a couple of extra days to get it.

Do you know if they have OEM Toyota ones or aftermarket? Had a windscreen replaced on a newish car previously and they were going to fit an aftermarket one, but told insurer I wanted OEM which they did.

I haven’t got round to getting mine done yet, best guess is there might be another update or recall pending so possibly want to lump them together

….Just to add, if they aren’t there in the standard screen, CarPlay etc. then it is likely a fault with your reversing camera. You could try getting your misses to tap the camera while you look at the screen to see if they go away or get worse. (Ps please don’t run her over though🤣)

No😬

Did you remove the seat from the car to fit, if so was it straightforward and did you disconnect the battery first?

Started to watch the other day, but found the reviewers style quite dated, kind of William Woollard meets Alan Partridge. Got bored half way through and aborted.
