GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

[Dal3D]

if you ..have back issues or the flexibility of a hippo you will struggle.

That's me buggered then with my glass back!

On another note...

I'm trying to change the bulb in the boot light, how the hell do you get the cage off it (I know it hinges at the bottom)

 

[Moonballs]

I remember I disconnected the wire from the bulb while still in the cage and swapped the bulb outside the car. Maybe that helps? (make sure the wire doesn't disappear into the recess)

Can’t wait to post on here. Picking mine up on the 3rd March. Dealer called me today to say they are fitting the spoiler and mud guards this week and pics will follow shortly! So excited!

If they are OEM I seen a comment that the similar / identical styled GT86 incorporated ones removed more paint than they saved via abrasion due to the way they fit - might be worth looking into this and / or getting your dealer to use something like helicopter tape https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=helico...724812&tag=googhydr-21&ref=pd_sl_8kd2hpjdzt_e

its a pain in the arse, but its possible.. think i used a small flat screw driver to first loosen the cage, then removed the wire, then swapped outside. I wasnt able to open the cage and replace whilst connected.

Seems to be straightforward here - https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxj9la_QmF-ffymiALA_6P7IIfcZDSl_s2

I managed just now, by opening the cage as per this video, easy really when you look at the way it locks together. Much better light in the boot now.

I bought some of those from the far east, but as soon as I tried to fit them, the old fart mechanical engineer in me said they're far too tight and I'd struggle to get them off so they're still in the packet.

Nice.

I was considering the black option but went for the silver - I think both look good and it's nice to have the choice!

I have the red ones on my winter wheels, really pops. Even my wife noticed.

So everyone is posting pictures of there nipples now this used to be a high brow, appropriate forum without gratuitous photos.

Next we'll all be posting pictures of our knobs in some collated thread......

Kids got me up annoyingly early so I sacked them off (*) and drove South until I got here

Then kept going until they made me stop!

...peace at last

Guess I should probably head back now... The long way! Should be nearly 800 miles by the time I'm back.

(*I love my kids really!)

There's some lovely B&Bs or boutique hotels on the south coast...

Attached a keyring, in case I forget what the key is for

Knob turned up, fitted it. It's a tight fit to get it straight though. Also used gliptone to keep the wheel good and the leather bits of the driver seat
