pm'd : )

aliexpresss is a good 40$ cheaper and 99.9% likely hood its completely the same item from the same factory and seller tbh

and there i was thinking i had a reply and sold something : ( will do tomorrow when it lighttt

I have a set of rear door cards id like something like £90 shipped for no idea of the value but i think that seems about right? Also have a full set of manual pedals the 3 pedals and resting plate £45 seem reasonable? Everything came off a 15 plate car with around 6000 miles. thanks alot : )

Let's do it 😂 What's the best way to fit it tough bolting or what?

Hi all I bought my gt86 a week or so ago from a snows Toyota dealer. After I got it home I noticed there was some paint on the passenger little side light, on closer inspection I found that the light was a little wobbly especially compared to the other side which is solid. I assume the bumper or part of the bumper was resprayed but its weird that there is over-spray on the side light as that means they didn't not remove the bumper or bother cleaning the light which to me seems very odd and likely a bodged job. Also the bumper doesn't sit completely flush with the wing as it does on the driver side. And in the corner there is a little bit of corrosion it seems where the bumper and wing probably rubbed together when it was damaged. To me the evidence points to a low speed hit but i suppose anythings possible. I will take the car to my local body-shop run by some family friends tomorrow and ask them if they can give me a quick assessment of the damage and whether there is anything lurking behind what I can see. In all honestly its very hard to spot and you wouldn't be able to see it unless you were looking for it. However its obviously something id want to get sorted at the dealers expense or be compensated for as it is something that would affect the resale value of the car. Aesthetically it doesn't bother me too much its just more the fact that its there and it definitely effects the value of the car. Can't believe I missed this when I looked around the car and when i asked if there was any damage he pointed out a minor scuff on one of the alloys (the front passenger one where the rest of the damage is) and said that is why a spare wheel was included. Any and all advice would be appreciated and my main questions are How to deal with the dealer and go about the whole thing. I just emailed them some pictures and explained it similarly to how I did here and will be giving them a ring tomorrow. How bad the damage is assuming its just the corrosion, unflush bumper and a couple of minor nicks/scratches and wobbly light and a scuff on the top passenger corner of the number plate mount I'm assuming from the same bash How to deal with the dealer if they are unhelpful, fingers crossed they are! What would the value of the damage be and should i seek some sort of monetary refund and keep the car as is or should I look to have everything repaired or just reject the car completely. Ill include some pictures of the issues and the car is a 15 plate black aero with 9000 miles and the JBL sound system and half leather seats sat nav and rear sensors. I paid 19350 for it with a spare wheel and a few other bits so adjusted probably around £19000ish for the car which i think is a cracking deal (if it wasn't damaged =P). Thanks in advance for all your wisdom and hopefully this will all get sorted without too many issues and i don't think I will lose any sleep over it anyhow!

Cars finally dried up today as it's been raining constantly since I've bought the car. My local body shop say they will take the bumper off and remove the headlight and have a proper look to tell me exactly what's wrong with it and put it in writing for me to present to the dealer. Since the car is finally dry I've noticed this along the bumper it looks essentially like cracked glue that was put on the outside. I'm unsure why as the bumper feels just as sturdy on either side. Really starting to think it was a very cheap repair. Surely I'm best to find out exactly what the problems are before I take it back to the dealer as I'm sure they would try and fob me off.

Please have a little look at the other reply I just did as well. The chips away guy was really helpful and said he wouldn't know until he started the job if he could remove all the rust and if he couldn't then he wouldn't be able to offer a warranty on the repair and it would be better done by a body shop. He was really 50/50 on whether he could remove all the rust. So I guess it just comes to the revised quote from the bodyshop. He said it could be caused by chafing of the headlight as it could be too snug and somethig could be deformed from the bump, like I said the bumper doesn't sit quite as flush as the other side. I suppose the only thing left to do is investgate with the bumper off and see what's going on and maybe I can get the bumper back on a bit flusher we will see. Cheers for all the advice! While I've got the bumper I'll take some good pictures of the peeling paint and rust and send them to the chips away man and maybe he can give me a better idea of if he would be able to remove the rust!

It's not that it's really loose as the clips buggered probably from the last repairman ripping it off. Chips away just came this morning to have a look and quoted £168 to repair the rust and touch up any bits, which seemed quite fair. But he said the damage to the wing is most likely caused by chafing of the headlight and I should take the headlight out and have a good look. No rain today so I suppose that gives me something to do. Any idea what I should be looking for behind the bumper and behind the headlight. If it turns out there's any deformity behind them is it okay if it's only minor or should I want it sorting. I'm certain the dealer wouldn't want to sort it.

Im awaiting the quote. The body shop quoted 585 to sort of do the proper job not just fixing the major issues. including a full repray to the wing ect. But that included the cost of sourcing and fitting the new side light which was probably 125£ of that quote. lel. I asked him to give me a quote to just fix the car in the way chips away or the dealer would and said I would get there and take the bumper off my self for them to do the repairs and then refit it myself. Better than 18 hours driving : ) So the chap said he would get back to me tomorrow with a revised quote. Fingers crossed the everryone is in a good mood tomorow.

I spoke to the manager today and he basically said that if I took it back they would have chips away fix the damage and replace the side light. He said if the bumper isn't fully flush its not worth the labor to take it off and refit it since its really not that noticeable. Which i do kind of agree but maybe i should take the bumper off and have a look to make sure everything's in order or maybe just taking it off and putting it back on will fix it and make it flush. He also said I can get a quote from chips away myself and take it to my local body shop to get a quote to fix the corrosion and any damage to the paint where its peeling and he could order me a new side light. From the way he was talking he was willing to chuck £150-200 at the cost of repairs. Should I be happy with that standard of repair. He made it sound like if I took it back he would do the repairs as cheaply as possible and was a bit lackadaisical. When I took it to my local bodyshop they reccomended repainting the part of the bumper that was resprayed and he said he couldnt beelive they didnt take out the fog light surround or remove the side light to respay it and that it wasnt a great job but it was sort of on the verge whether it was worth repainting or not. He said the corrosion definitely needs fixing properly along with any peeling paint around that area. Should I be happy with chips away sorting it and not worry about the bumper being a little but out as it isn't really noticeable

I just spoke to the manager on the phone they said they have record of the previous repair from 2015 where the only parts they used were a bracket for 25£ or something and it was probably sprayed then. Which means the paint on the light is 2 years old? He also said They would be happy to have a look at it and fix it but I would have to leave the car with them (9 hour round trip leicester to Torquay) for a few days. He said they wouldn't look to pay for me to have it done locally and asked me to forward him some pictures. I just sent and email with pictures and asking if they would provide me with a car to get me home and back if I came down and if they would consider me getting a quote from my local body shop to refit the bumper so its flush and also blend the corners where the corrosion is. I also said id have a look at the side light and hopefully its just a clip on the side light that's broken not the bumper that's damaged and i could just have them source me a new side light which I'm sure would be very cheap. I said that might be a lot easier and less costly than 18 hours of me driving +150£ in petrol + me borrowing a car and them having to get it sorted out. Do you think I'm underestimating the repairs although I'm sure this would be good enough providing there isn't any further damage and is it reasonable for me to ask to have it done locally and cheaply so i don't have to make the 9 hour round trip twice and leave the car with them for days. Cheers! Also if they were to deny my request to borrow a car I'm probably looking at £250 in petrol and trains to sort it out which is pretty lame where do i stand in regards to transport costs ect hopefully they will let me get it fixed locally and it wont be too bad or if they do decide i need to go to them they will lend me a car but ive still got 150£ to spend on petrol and 18 hours driving which is less than ideal

What can I do to stop them conducting the same cheap crappy repair as they did the first time around even if they are helpful. Ask them for a full description of the work they intend to carry out and then check it has been done? should i also request a copy of their toyota 2 hundred and whatever point check on the car before it was sold

cheers stu! this was basically my plan and I'm glad my understanding was right. The chap I dealt with was ridiculously nice to be fair although I assume most salesman are hehe. But I'm more hopeful than not that I'll get it resolved amicably fingers crossed. I also paid 500£ of the bill on my credit card on the day and the rest by debit card just for the section 75 protection could i potentially get it repaired by my credit card company if the dealer decided not to help I also read online that I can contact my credit card company at the same time as the dealer and should do so to get the ball rolling in any case. You seem pretty knowledgeable so would like to get your take on that! In regards to proving it was done before im sure it could be proved that the overspray on the light was more than a week old somehow and that the bit of corrosion in the corner didnt sprout from the corner of a respray i had done as id only had the car a few days

If you consider crashing your car into things wear and tear then more power to you my friend, thanks for your constructive input to the questions I posed.

That would ofcourse be a last resort! I intend to do everything possible to resolve the situation prior to that fingers crossed I get some answers tomorrow atleast

I cant work out if the damage is extremely minor or quite bad and whether it would be worth rejecting the car if the dealer stonewalls me as it would definitely come under grounds for that if it did come to that the dealer would probably offer a repair instead anyway

When I was having a good look at that corner of the car I'm pretty sure the salesman pointed out the scuff on the alloy again and had me have a good look at that and then I moved around and didn't notice this : ( That's the only excuse I can think of, that or I'm a bit blind

it has rear door cards : )

SOLD! : )

Bought a full set of gloss black badges from america for around 110 dollars plus tax which is around 88£ + tax. I prepaid the tax as to not get stung with royal mails 12£ extra charge if i was taxed : ) Decided im probably just going to debadge my car now so they are up for grabs and you can get them next day first class! Anyone whos worried just get some warmish water and a squeegee and the badges come off with ease then use any cleaning product to carefully remove and residue and you are good to stick the new badges on its really easy!

If anyone wants to do a group buy with me or something I can reship to your address for free. makes it 150-175 USD or £120 to £140 a diffuser which seems like a bit of a bargain to me providing they arent absolute crap

Tim any chance I can join in with you, I'm tempted with the under diffuser and a bonnet or am I better of going alone or would we save a bit on shipping in regard to the third party carriage company. If they both turn out to be a load of tat at least we can giggle at eachother

is there a listing for just the trim that goes around the window buttons anywhere or if anyone buys the kit and decides they dont want those bits ill take em off your hands!

im down to go halfers on the fees for two so we dont have to pay double shipping! if theyre naff at least we will be idiots together!
