First full day with the car. Did a few errands and showed it off to the old man, realised the dealership didn’t put any screen wash in which is just delightful 
figured out and setup the dashcam app. The mrs drove it for the first time too. Smiles all around I’d say!

One thing I noticed whilst doing the first clean was the huge gap where the boot and rear windscreen meet. I'd totally dismissed the "TRD GR Aero Stabilizing Cover" up until that point but thanks to some speedy shipping from @Fensport its now fitted and I think looks great!
^ massive gap for collecting leaves!
Also had a play to get a better picture in my head of what a black ducktail might look like... I like it!

Hmm. It does look better, but it's annoying having to buy a piece of trim to account for what essentially appears to be a poor bit of design. I'd rather that such a simple piece of trim was just fitted as standard.

I would prefer the duckbill spoiler in black as a contrast against any of the colours that were available for the GR86.
If the carbon fibre duckbill spoiler was cheaper that would look great too.

Great pictures. Your car looks stunning, beautiful finish to the paintwork.
Love that finish. Have you taken any paint measurements beforehand? What pad and polish combo did you go with and how many passes?

No measurements. Single pass using Koch Chemie micro cut with purple microcut pad. Overall the paint was pretty good. Light cut high gloss has come up really nice. Now applying Gyeon Mohs. Wheels done with gtechnicq c5.
Who dis?
I dropped my car off at KDS this morning. Now on the train home. Looks like we have had the first official GR86 owners meet without their owners
it's nice to see another one in the flesh, the electric blue looks stunning @Conscript you are going to be one happy man, I had a good nose 
the paintwork is looking absolutely fantastic, you aren't going to want to drive it.
The guys there are amazing, very passionate and knowledgeable.

They've just sent me a quick video showing a 50/50 on the bootlid...
Should have used the opportunity to get it cleaned on such a nice day!
i’m more likely to spend my free time driving it at the moment, might give it a clean when its run in
