I had a similar problem of small stones chipping the inside edge of the rear wheel archs so bought the OEM mud flaps to fix the problem, like others have said they should have come on the car from factory as besides being functional they also look great imo! Added some photos of them installed on my car, no real close ups for you unfortunately but being black on red it might give you a better feel. Do be aware that if you want to install a body kit/side skirts in the future these might make it hard/impossible to find a kit that will fit as the OEM mud flaps wrap round the body on the front and bumper on the rear which you can see in the second photo I put up.

It's a little hard to explain, I discovered what was buzzing after searching "gt86 door rattle and watching the video I linked, go to 1:40 they show what I mean. In the video they somehow remove it from the plastic piece that screws into the door card. I was too scare of breaking the clips when I tried to remove it so just wrapped mine in a load of electrical tape which seem to have done the trick for now but I think I'm just going to glue it in place when I next have the door cards off but its up to you what you choice to do. The tolerance in the two plastic pieces is shocking and when the volume of the speakers is even moderately loud the control box vibrates like mad making an irritating buzzing sound. Make sure you do the window controls on both door cards as they both vibrate. I'll try and explain better if this still isn't enough

Looking to pick the Valenti rear bumper bar light (3rd break light) but Im having trouble finding out whether they are a straight plug and play. Im not interested in the 3rd brake light function ect, all im interested in is having it mimic the current OEM features (reverse and fog lights) but im not interested in having to tap into the car wiring to do so, anybody know if it is straight plug and play with euro wiring harness? Any help would be appreciated, included a picture of the light to avoid confusion.

I'm currently in the process of doing this my self, currently only have some CCF and a little sound deadening mat. Nothing rattles now but road noise is unbearable, so im going to put in MLV in under the carpet and door cards in the summer when its warmer. Here are some good links I've been using, might as well save you the time: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53511 https://www.flickr.com/photos/86194869@N08/sets/72157633425405068/with/8711031372/ https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35604 materials: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/acoustic-insulation/8814557/ https://www.carinsulation.co.uk/product/car-heavy-layer-insulation-3mm-5kg-car-heavy-layer-deadening-5m-roll https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yaheetech-Proofing-Deadening-Insulation-Adhesive/dp/B01MDUB6T6/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1PRW4Y2I9IIF8&dchild=1&keywords=closed+cell+foam&qid=1610298378&sprefix=closed+cel%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-7 These aren't the cheapest materials so do look around but they'll give you a feel. In sort different materials block different wave length of sound (vibrations, road noise, wind noise all have different wave lengths) there is no one material fits all unfortunately. The forums I linked above do a good job of explaining what materials should be used where. Do note that they will add weight, MLV will add the most mass by a mile but it the best a blocking road noise and worth it to stop my ears from bleeding. Also I have the focal speaker package, Kenwood head unit as well as some better 3 1/2 inch speakers in the rear, great sound and more powerful but they cause my door cards to vibrate and rattle when a song with bass comes on. So the door cards they're coming off in the summer to address this. Just food for thought. Finally when you have the door cards off tape/glue/wedge something in between the housing of the window controls and housing they sit in. You'll thanks me later. Hope this all helps

Yeh typically they send you a letter when they have your item on UK soil and then you have 3 weeks or so to pay import and then they'll ship it from your local depot to your door. Alternatively if you see your package is at your local depot on their tracking app before you receive the letter you can pop in and see if they'll give it to you early. This is what I did, I was driving by my local parcel force depot and went in and asked and they were happy to give it to me but now thinking about it this could be why I didn't get away with import as they probably looked a little closer at my parcel as I was asking for it from the front desk apposed to a robot/computer sorting it and missing the import charge, but that just a guess. No if you've got your parcel and they sent it directly to you with out sending you a letter saying you need to pay import then that's fine, if you don't pay import they don't fine you they just send your parcel back to where it came from. Has happened to me as well when I ordered something that cost £30 I paid no import. Again im just guessing here but if they have a high volume of parcels they might not be able to check them all ect.

Just checked, they put £109 for me also but according to .GOV website you've got to pay tax on anything over £15 so I guess yours slipped trough the crack. lucky!

I read somewhere that if you email them and ask them to put a lower price on the paper work attached to the box you'll pay less import tax/no import tax. If true I wish I'd known about it sooner as I got stung with a £50 import fee when I bought mine from speedline but even with import cost included it was still cheaper then buying from a UK based company.

Hi all Just received the Eibach pro kit lowering springs I had ordered and I have a couple questions for anyone who has them fitted? I had watched a load of videos on youtube before I bought them (mostly American owners) of people installing them on their 86's and almost all their kits has smaller bump stops and dust covers included in the box, but when I received mine I just had the springs in the box. I contacted the supplier and they said that they aren't missing form the box. So my question is do I need to perchance these separately, or do I need to cut the OEM ones? The box came with no instructions and I cant find any online. Whilst we're on the topic of the Eibach's, im looking to install 18 x 8.5J ET:40 wheels does anyone know if will I have fitment issues with them hitting the OEM shock body now the car is an inch lower? Many thanks (new to this forum and not sure if I posted this in the right place, so if not I can re-post if some directs me to the correct place lol)

oh okay cheers! I thought that might be the case, after all Eibach is a pretty high end spring manufacture and I didn't think they'd expect you to take a saw to OEM parts lol. I have used that tool and its great but unfortunate it only shows fitments for stock suspension and coil overs, I was wondering if the OEM shock body with the Eibachs installed will stick further out and foul the wheel or does it just occupy the same space as the OEM strut currently does?

Thanks man! Im not looking to go past 8.5j as im not planning of going down the coil over route, probably going to do a 25mm drop on lowering springs just wanted to make sure the wheel wasn't going to hit the oem shock body or fender. Have you rolled your fenders?

Loving the look of those JR11's mate! Exactly what i've been looking for! But being a bit of a newbie in the modding department im unsure of what fitment it get. Looking to run 18 x 8.5 which I think yours are if im not mistaken, but im unsure of what ET to get. You seem to have fitment down to a T! Can I ask : What ET your are running? What tire size you've got on them? Have you had any issues with rubbing or fitment?
