maybe a stupid question but if you guys are not letting the dealer drill the holes for the plates, how are you getting it home?.. just leaving it on the dash pointing out of windscreen?

It's not especially big. It would easily go in the boot with the seats folded.
In fact, if you took it out of the box, it would probably fit in the cabin, either on the back seat, or propped on the passenger seat. Then there's just a paper template and a bag of fixings.

If insurance is £3500 I’ll be cancelling

For very rough comparison, I insured by GT86 with manifold/remap for about £450 or so IIRC with ChrisKnott, and a quick check on CompareTheMarket gives the current cheapest quote with Admiral at about £683. I know comparing insurance between individuals is pointless, but I doub't very much you're going to be paying thousands more than you do currently.

EDIT: just to note, that there is already a thread talking about insurance, in case people want to discuss it there and not take this thread OT:

GR86 - Anyone managed to get any insurance quotes for the GR86?

Hi All, If 14th November is indeed the date the first batch of GR86 are rolled out, then 24th October which is 3 weeks from starting the insurance should be the best time to get a decent quote. Has anyone managed to get an insurance quote yet with the GR86. My usual punters are Admiral but...

Thanks, I've moved the posts to the relevant thread.

Arrgh. Apologies, I misread, thought we were talking about the spoiler, not the numberplates :/
I blame the fact I haven't had my morning cuppa yet, so not fully awake but in reality I'm just an idiot.

Last time I arrived with a roll of 3m velcro, scissors, IPA and spend 5 mins fitting them myself before driving off.

Just found the photo of me doing it :ROFLMAO:

I just got the email:-
  • *Payment Method – Cash
  • **Part Exchange –None
  • ***Private registration –No
Need to finance it now unfortunately, with the cost of living & markets as they are… 😠
 
I also received the email yesterday which I thought a little premature since my car is apparently still in on a 'slow boat from Japan' :unsure: :unsure: .
Perhaps I'm getting a cancelled one covered in bird poo instead :sneaky::ROFLMAO:?

Toyota have tried ringing me today and left a voice message to ring them back. So looks like cars are shortly about to be delivered to the dealers.

They phoned me this morning, thanking me for sending the 2nd form of ID (For the third time) and confirming what was said in email.

They couldn't give any update on delivery date for when we would hear etc. So bit of a waste of time but nice to know something was happening behind the scenes.

Dealer phoned about the rear spoiler - car is showing on their system as 16th November. Which is around the time the Dev tool hack showed before it was taken down and also ties in with 12 weeks form date it goes into "build" on app.
 
I also got an email yesterday to confirm certain things but I’ve since found my retention document so I replied to the email to ask if it can be added. I also took the time to ask about lead times.

The response I got back this morning said they were hoping for demo vehicles to be going out in the next few weeks then customer cars a couple of weeks after so that we could have the chance to test drive them.

I think they were just reiterating from the original plan but at least they didn’t just ignore my question.
