Yeah, it's S18RSG. They are nice, and kind of 5 spoke. They're an option for me if I can't find some with a solid 5 spoke design for my budget.

Been thinking of using 86worx in US who ship AME GT-V to the UK at $425 per wheel + $88 delivery so around £400 each. Not sure about import duties though.
 
How many letters are in your number plate? I do like the idea of a JDM plate. I do have a rear one already in the garage - just thinking about it. What and where do you get the JDM plate holder parts from? 😁

My car does use the JDM front holder but I don't have my reg# over 2 lines. I can get away with 1 line. My reg is X15XXX (*X denotes other letters!)

Here is the front plate holder:

Regarding plates, there are loads of makers online. Depending on what you want to do, there really isnt a fixed size. My front plate is the width of the holder but its not as high as the plate holder so I have a black part above and below. I had the plate made with legal font but scaled down, so I guess the characters are about 15% smaller that it should be but because everything is scaled, you dont notice. The rear plate is full size characters and plate height but with custom length.

I don't remember what sizes I ordered or who from as I cant find the order email but if you goto this thread, it'll have all the answers to the questions you may have.

GR86 - The number plate thread

The place to discuss all things number plate related , fixing , legality, show plates etc . @Polymorphic has already got a thread going for Registration Numbers so try and keep that just for the actual registration numbers folk may have for their GR86...

It's ironic that people with long hair, want short hair and people with short hair want long hair..... Same with cars I guess... You always want something different.

Now, spot the difference, both pics are of the car with the same difference. Let's see how well you guys know the GR86.

That front splitter looks too be about 5mm off the ground!
 
I've looked for ages and can't see anything apart from possibly a ride height change
 
Haha... Both answers are too obvious!
 
Well done! You both found Wally!
 
All GR86 come with gloss black mirror caps. The BRZ comes with body coloured. I ordered a pair of factory painted mirror caps from Subaru and swapped them over.

Not sure I like them as much as black ones but let's see after living with them.

Again, well done for spotting it.
 
I thought about this when I had silver wheels fitted and would have preferred body coloured mirrors however with the stalk and bottom section being black, I thought it might not look right with the white. Seeing yours I think it works.

Anyone know if there is a Subaru colour the same as the white?

I think it will work well on a white car. Don't quote me but I'm sure the white is the same. Just google the colour name and colour code. Both cars should have the same code even if the colour names are diff.
 
So there's no difference between the 2 pictures? That's what I was looking for 😂
 
I doubt you'll get this amount of attention to detail out of a paid job.

It's something I installed myself. I'm ex-trade so it wasn't difficult.

Hardest thingwas getting the colour right and it's still wrong after 2 rattle cans..it's close enough and it'll have to do.

GR86 - Parking Sensors?

Interesting to see the variance in cost for the sensors. I'm second batch so no benefit of free ones, but my dealer charged £680 painted and fitted. I was on the fence beforehand as I've never used sensors before, but after polling family members who had them, the concensus was to go for it...
