Maybe not everyone's cuppa tea, but my roots are back in the 70's and 80's and I love it. The final cost, everything included, was R1479.

So, I've got R3k+ to blow on booze.
Let's party...
Looks good - buy us a round on Saturday!

Well done... Is there a pattern on the spoiler or smooth finish.

Smooth finish. Plastic is black and I've left it unpainted.

Overnight @ De Doorns, Hex River Valley.
890 kms today, and the 86 is as comfortable as it gets, even for us wrinklies who get lots of aches and pains.

Also weaves through the N1 truck procession with effortless ease.
Who said this car ain't got no powerrr?
Just wish that the average speed monitoring system between Beaufort West and Laingsburg would electrocute it's operators. Miserable sods!!
I might not have got it quite right.
Will be watching my mailbox with a bit of dread...

Nice. Did you get the GT 86 emblem at the back with the car or is it aftermarket?

Also bought mine from a dealer in the UK. Was a mission and a half finding one willing to help and they were not available on eBay or anywhere at the time.

Remember to follow the Toyota fitment instructions. There is a very specific way of mounting it to get it in the perfect position.
