    GR86 "That's a fresh whip bruv"; or the Toyota GR86 collated feedback thread

    Deciding i need to finally jump into this thread... Apart from the usual "nice Supra" and/or "Giz a rev m8" from some of the usual suspects, the thing that catches me off guard the most is appreciation from bikers πŸ˜† On more than one occasion, a biker has filtered up beside me, and given a...

    GR86 Red '86 - Leamington

    Walking to the Saino's locale from my house Saturday around 1:45pm - Was stopped in my tracks (literally) by not only seeing my first GR86 in the wild, but one also in ignition Red! Whoever it was went on to unsuspectingly drive right past my one parked the other side of a hedge πŸ˜‰ Between...

    GR86 The number plate thread

    I'm afraid I don't - I've been busy trying to break 1000miles 😬 Yeah, I'm keen to have a look aswell, but before I commit I can try mock up the rear plate and take some pics to give you (and me) and idea of how it would look. Pretty sure I ended up getting an 11x8. Will confirm when I get a...

    GR86 The number plate thread

    Today is the big day for Car Collection (finally!) and I had hoped to land and see these plates I had ordered from adorning the car: However I was informed earlier today from the dealership that they are not fully UK legal as they don't have the 'Suppliers Postcode' on the bottom... Needless...

    GR86 The number plate thread

    I may just have to bit the bullet and be a guinea pig for the square plate at the rear - will be stuck on rather than screwed so can always change it out 😁

    GR86 The number plate thread

    Yeah, I'm having the same thoughts, so would be keen to see anyone who's gone and done it! Lots of US / JDM spec cars to oggle at - but obviously not the exact same proportions... 🧐

    GR86 The number plate thread

    Thread Resurrection..! Any GR86 heads considering a square plate a la JDM like some of our Yaris brethren? Assuming that you can legally have the square plate at the back as long as it meets size / spacing regs? Nabbed this during the week :)

    GR86 The number plate thread

    AH ok, I've had some tell me I'll get to choose from a shortlist of generic 'available plates' come registration time? Doesn't make much of a difference I suppose. Assuming once you have your plate bought / registered, you can try and purchase different styles / sizes of plates from 3rd...
