Want the GT86 UK look..
 
Okay so i'm still waiting for my car to arrive in November..
I like the stock look of the GT 86 in the UK, cosmetically these are the only two differences I could see

- GT 86 emblem
- OEM spoiler

Is there anything else different about the UK version compared to AUS?

The tosser in the drivers seat?

/hides :-)

You know you will have to drill 6 holes to attach that spoiler yeah?

Not sure about the badge, but I'm still pretty keen for that OEM spoiler.

I remember seeing it as an option on the AUDM BR-Z? I might be paying a visit to Subaru parts if this is the case... otherwise I saw it on eBay from Jap for ~700ish...

If you're feeling like a tool, you can even get these :D

Badges should be easy to get :)

I was likly that spoiler till I saw that it needs 6-7 holes drilled in your boot. I like the idea of the Nissian r34 spoiler,

This thing should fit and only 4 holes.

Pull the studs out of the R34 spoiler before you get committed, mount it with double sided tape and see if you still like the look. I don't think that square back will sit with the 86. Also. please remember that you have to keep it within plan view of the car if you're in NSW or Victoria, or you can be defected.

EDIT; Just my opinion. I reckon painted black it'd look alright though...

Yeah I was going to test mount it before drilling in to the boot. The best thing about with spoiler is its under $300 in Australia :D. By plan view you mean have the spoiler at 0 degrees so one can see car behind? It's going on a Gray 86 so it will be black or the like.

no he meant plan view as in looking down onto the car from above it, so you can see if it goes out past the edges of the car

Damn skippy. Not allowed to protrude -at all- past the edges of the car as originally equipped, at all. At all. Been done for this for as little as curb feelers.

phoenix2150 08-20-2012 07:43 AM

Ok I get what you mean now, I'm pretty sure it won't go over the edges of the car.
I also think this or a spoiler like this is available in 134cm & 154cm wide sizes.
Car parts and kits are so over the top in price for this car it's not funny.

Any one know of another spoiler/spoilers that will fit/work on this car in small to mid sizes (no big wings :slap:)?

Nezz 08-20-2012 08:07 AM

I dunno, $535 for an OEM part isn't that expensive. Especially with all its necessary subcomponents.
