Hey everyone My names Mark and I'm from Warwickshire. I've had my GT86 for about six weeks now. I've been using the *other* forum for a couple of weeks and only just stumbled across this one so I thought I'd pop my head in and say hi! Here's my mandatory car picture, from right after it got delivered: Got a couple of mods planned over the coming weeks/months and I'll be making an appearance at the Amber Performance meet on the 3rd, so it'll be good to get to know some of you.

So I was at the Fiat garage earlier today with my girlfriend who was signing for her new 500. I was talking to the salesman about Supagard, which I've always liked the sound of, and he mentioned that they could apply it to my car for a discounted price of £200. Seems pretty reasonable, but my question is, is it worth it on a 3-year-old car? Or is it kind of pointless at this stage?

Thanks, I'll take a look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty sure I'll be able to make this. Hopefully my car will look a little different to last time too.

Haha. Thanks all. I think that's a pretty decisive answer to my question. Think I'll be saving my £200!

Cheers buddy. I'm not very hands-on but it sounds like it's worth a try, I'm sure I'll fumble through it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Steve. That's helpful to know. Might get the rear diffuser while I'm at it as they have that at a decent price too.

Nice! I'm having trouble getting my misty rear lights sorted. Took them to Toyota once, but had the same issue a couple of weeks later, so I spoke to them again today and they told me that it is "deemed as an acceptable phenomenon that cannot be cured" (their words). Pretty p*ssed off at them right now.

Not that I'm aware of. I've always understood it to be any transaction. Fair point, Rob. But, to be fair, I only plan to get Valenti's as a stop-gap anyway. My end game is some Buddy Clubs, but I can't justify the £450 price tag right now, and these Valenti's are about 50% of what I'd pay for them from a UK dealer.

Five rear light clusters? That almost counts as hoarding! Yeah, it's the Valenti's I'm looking at. The PayPal option is definitely good cover. If I was looking at something non-electrical then I probably wouldn't even hesitate. Might just chance it when pay day comes around. I'll keep you all posted if I do.

I hate how sensitive the volume knob is on the stereo. When you have that OCD that your volume has to end in a 0 or a 5, it's really hard to get it spot on while you're driving along! Re. the doors unlocking, I just double press the unlock button on the key fob (apart from when I forget, and than I also get moaned at by my girlfriend).

Everything needed to fit them included, inc wheel nuts? Do the wheels have any scuffs or are they clean?

If you've got a picture of them fitted I might be interested?

Let this be proof that my car was clean. Just in case I get attacked by a flock of birds with diarrhoea or something.

Hey Rob Any plans to add these to the store? Wouldn't mind one if possible.

My addition. My Apple Watch doesn't really compete with some of these beauties though.

7:30 sounds perfect, Will. I'll PM you my number in case anything changes.

Hey Will Coventry Showcase would be fine by me. Just let me know a time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone traveling down in convoy? I'll be heading down from Nuneaton/Hinckley area if anyone wants to meet nearby.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but I tried to order some stickers from the store and had a problem with payment - wouldn't let me put in my details. Am I just being an idiot? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Update: confirmed - I am an idiot. PayPal link obviously wasn't working earlier but seems to be fine again now.

Thanks guys. Yes, looking forward to the 3rd! White pearl is the colour of kings! [emoji146] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice. Should be pretty easy to spot! I work over at Westwood business park in Coventry, so not too far.

I love the keyless entry and start as it's something that was missing on my previous car (Astra GTC) and I'm a bit of a tech geek. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to the joys of 86 ownership! Quball - where'd you live and what colour do you drive? I'm in Atherstone, so I'll keep my eyes out for you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
