GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

I bought some plastic nut/bolt covers and fitted to door check and under bonnet... Beware, it gets addictive :)
Ooh, I do like that idea. How many of what sizes did you get? I bought some smaller caps (from the same seller) just so as to be able to fit one on the boot strap's nut.
 
Booked in for PPF and new car Detail to see it through the Winter:
Two stage machine polish; Xpel Ultimate Plus self-healing ppf to front bumper, bonnet, wings, A-pillars, wing mirrors and side skirts; Gtechniq Halo coating applied to ppf; Gtechniq 5yr ceramic coating to all other areas.
Wallet now recuperating from open heart surgery ❤️‍🩹
Who's carrying out said invasive financial dis-planning?
 
I bought 100 x m6 and 20 x m8 with 12mm spanner head as more expensive, but need another pack
I called Subaru with the part number to cover the door ones. They just laughed and said one was in stock, in the UK. Don't know when more will arrive. Forgot all about it. Did fit the covers I forgotten about over the door strike plates today though 😁👍

SWMBO flies a Spitfire? Wow! My first wife was WRAF - we'll leave that there though eh ... 😬

As for what I did with the GR86? I bought a headrest coat hanger from Hangerworld; £5.99 inc delivery! 🤓

Driving towards Manchester this morning to collect SWMBO from the hospital and a guy in a blue Mercedes A220 flew across two lanes and clearly didn't look... Very very close to taking me out which would have been a disaster.. Only my quick thinking and stamping on the anchors saved me I think

Idiots everywhere... Up to 450 miles now and love the car
 
Love the wheels. I am on the lookout for some nice bronze rims. Do you mind me asking what those are and where you got them?
eBay - believe they are from the GT86 Blanco Edition: 18x7.5 [BP 5x100] 10-spoke in anthracite, embossed GT86 - powder coat by https://alloycarecentre.co.uk/

Tyres: Michelin Alpin 5 [225/45/R18] exceeding expectations. :)
 
I received something in the post this very morning which made me realise how time flies.

My V11 Vehicle Tax Reminder!

I suspect I won't be alone, with the glut of December deliveries.

What with that and the annual service booking to think about, I'm wondering where my first year with my GR86 has gone...

Ooof I'd forgotten about that. To be honest, I'm expecting my insurance renewal reminder this week, which is what I'm really dreading though.

Good point - selfishly, I hadn't thought about that as I switched provider in April. I'll worry about it then...
