Did you glue the brackets with the tape that came with the set or did you also use polyurethane glue for car windows?
GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

I just used the adhesive pads already attached to the brackets. The adhesive part of the brackets only serve the purpose of locating the brackets against the glass for when attaching the nuts. It act as a gasket between the steel & glass mainly.
This is because there is inbuilt maneuverability for fine tuning the final position (bracket mounting hole in the wing is 10mm & threaded part of the bracket is 6mm).
The bracket adhesive offers no real structural bonding strength as the forces are pushing the brackets towards the window (not pulling away).
The only thing you need to get that isn’t included are 2 x 6mm nuts & locking/serated washers to fix the brackets to the wing
Hope this helps

Was the tape that came with the bracket sufficient, or did you also use a larger tape?
I apologize for being so persistent, but I'm picking up the brackets tomorrow and I'd like to finally install the wing (it's been sitting in the garage for a month).

It was sufficient. No need for any other tape. It will become apparent when you are installing the wing. Just get the M6 nuts & washers and you’ll be fine

Paid it a visit, still sans some bits.
End of the month, apparently.
Might take advantage of the easy access to remove the old horn...

How much was the wing itself, cheapest i see is 5000 eur, without markup through official channels. I wonder how some get it for 1700 pound or eur.

I love how the wing looks, but I’m trying to understand if it actually makes sense performance-wise on its own. My very basic “F1 brain” says aero parts should work together, not just be slapped on randomly.
I’ve seen people mention that the front of the GRY gets a bit light at higher speeds and that adding a front lip helps balance things out. So now I’m wondering… does putting just the wing mess with the balance at speed?
Anyone here running the wing only – do you actually feel any difference in stability or is it mostly for looks?

I also installed a front splitter; I know it's necessary. On the 911 Turbo S, the rear spoiler extends at higher speeds, and the splitter extends under the front of the car. I also installed different grilles to better protect the radiators.

When buying in Japan, for example, as I did, the cost of the rear wing, including shipping costs to Poland and fees (customs duty + VAT) is approximately 2500 EUR.

Nice, looks like a solid setup
Did you also go for the underbody aero bits?
Have you had a chance to properly test it? Any noticeable difference in stability or feel?

Mine's due an MOT and I discovered one of the fog lamps is out. Cue wondering how much an integrated light costs, thinking about the effort of getting parts from a dealer, worrying that it could be related to the wiring for my light bar...
Thought I should at least diagnose the problem before I pay to foist it on someone else - I know my way around a multimeter. So I peel back the front wheel lining only to discover that, whenever it last had the bumper off, they forgot to plug it back in.
Ah, you gits. But at least it was the cheapest and fastest possible fix.
