Help transforming a stock 2019 Toyota 86 GT.
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi guyssss. My goal is to transform a stock 2019 Toyota 86 GT into the picture posted below. I believe it is an Australian/European version and I much prefer the look over the US GT version.

The wheels are the similar to the stock 860 Special Edition and I found them on ebay for $1,550 including shipping. Any recommendations for where I could find them cheaper? Or preferably these exact ones?

The side marker/blinker in white is easily available so should not have a problem acquiring that.

The only little piece I'm unable to find is the little sensor-like patch right under the headlights. I don't think it's actually a sensor but I feel it just adds to the overall appeal of the vehicle and ends up making it look a bit more aggressive. Any clues on where I could find it? I like it so much I'm willing to consider ordering the European bumper internationally just so I could have it.

I only wish the car came in Ruby Red in the US because I feel the color looks bomb on this vehicle!

Help is much appreciated and will result in prayers of protection and long-life for your own 86! :thumbup:

:thanks:

That sensor you are referring to below the headlights is a headlight washer pop-up nozzle.

Welcome to our happy forum, saadvaka - :clap:

Have fun modding your machine.

As far as that little door, maybe you can order the part separately and just glue it onto your car - ;)

@el-guapin I'm 28 years old and visit UK frequently and saw this a lot but never knew what this was. Thank you. Since it's not aesthetic I'm certain I can't just obtain a piece to attach to the bumper so will have to order it from Europe, and even then it will only be for the looks and not functional. Would have been nice to have it functional but I might just completely skip that one.

@humfrz thanks so much! That's not a bad suggestion actually. I'm going to research a bit more and see if I can find it.

That little piece is attached to the headlight washer so it is not part of the bumper but you would have to figure out how to make that happen. I'd give up that idea.

It's gonna be a tough job moving that steering column and wheel to the left side of the dash....may not fit.

So...those Brembos.... gonna go OEM or Aftermarket Brembo? :)

Wheels and brakes look a lot like those used on the BRZ Performance Pack (US) Sport Tech RS (Canada) models.

I think the only real differences is that its got the white side markers, the headlight washers (bumper 'patch') and the available performance package (brembos + sachs) and those wheels.


Otherwise I don't think theres anything else you'd need to change to get it to "Aussie/UK" spec.

You will also need to get a UKDM 3rd brake light and also UK spec exhaust tips. The US exhaust tips are recessed
