Made the most of a rather pleasant day down south, and fed up of being stuck indoors, grabbed my keys and went for a drive then a mooch around my local country park and get some fresh air.
Looks like I picked the best day for it! Happy new year everyone! My resolution is to enjoy the car more this year and get to as many shows and meets as I can.Made the most of a rather pleasant day down south, and fed up of being stuck indoors, grabbed my keys and went for a drive then a mooch around my local country park and get some fresh air.

Could I please have the link you have for this from Ali expressWireless CarPlay USB dongle turned up in the post from AliExpress this morning. Forgot who and which post recommended it but thanks to who ever did. Working great and very easy set up.
Christ that's steep. Wasn't the Gen 2 bumper designed in more sections to make repair easier (and hopefully cheaper)?! MadCollected the front grille piece to replace my pheasant strike.

Unfortunately it’s Eurospec and has parking sensor mounts. Fortunately I spotted the error before I left the dealer and was my fault as I provided the part number but didn’t think there would be a variance.

So a new part will be ordered. Unfortunately, the new part is double the price at £816 versus the £414 for the European spec.
I just can’t work it out how the same part made in the same factory with just a different mould can be double the price as it’s the same materials.Christ that's steep. Wasn't the Gen 2 bumper designed in more sections to make repair easier (and hopefully cheaper)?! Mad
No problem, this is the one I picked up:Hello cou

That's madness. Somebody on the crack pipe doing the pricing up it seems.I just can’t work it out how the same part made in the same factory with just a different mould can be double the price as it’s the same materials.
Instead of one part you can sell three different partsChrist that's steep. Wasn't the Gen 2 bumper designed in more sections to make repair easier (and hopefully cheaper)?! Mad
Would it be cheaper to just have front sensors fitted?!I just can’t work it out how the same part made in the same factory with just a different mould can be double the price as it’s the same materials.
You’d then also need the rest of the bumper as there’s 4 sensors.Would it be cheaper to just have front sensors fitted?!
And lastly does anyone have some experience with the Engine Sound Enhancement (ESE) and Active Noise Control (ANC) settings of the car? And what are your preferences?
I had them both turned off for a long time just to have it "all natural". After my drive today I used Carista to delete some error codes and I thought why not try out ESE on again? And I must admit that I like it actually. Many of these kind of systems sound horrible but in the Yaris it sounds kinda badass to be honest.
Just don't know if I want to keep it on since I do think it drowns out some exhaust and turbo noises.
which drive mode? I never had the chance to take mine out in snowit has been not so much driving recently with GR. now went out for familiar 100km recce route the other day. Its nice to have a quiet road closeby that has 3 good sections (maybe 25-30km twisty roads in total) to enjoy the car dynamics and environment.
Maybe getting old but its quite tricky car to drive on limit - rear snaps off quickly if you're not ready. Nowadays prefer (wet) summer conditions as there is less surprises with grip, and car can actully deliver its power vs. spinning with all fours on 4th gear in winter.
