Congrats dude. How did you end up finding it?

And the more important question do you like the orange? lol. I have passed on two of them so far.

Congrats. It's funny, you orginally wanted a grey GTS it seems but had to go with an orange. I wanted an orange GTS (ordered June), but as it is looking like my orange would not arrive until april next year, I switched to a grey which should be arriving in Dec..........

Haha nope! Pic is when it just got off the truck on my end. She is actually really dirty as well although she had a bath tonight

Really REALLY happy with the orange and don't regret the colour choice at all as it's really 50 shades of orange depending on the light

One question for all you guys who have had delivery. . . Was there a mount or bracket for the rear plate? I have tried to mount the rear plate but there is nothing but two taped holes and the plate sits out directly and rubs on the paint. (See below)

ZZT86 · 11-07-2012, 05:48 AM

Ahhh, so you got it already! Super. If you have any square/rectangular blocks of drilled plastic from old or previous plate covers you could use these to mount the plate, same on my celica in which I applied same method & works a treat, plate is solid and doesn't move or vibrate.

Colour is awesome imo, very interesting & ever changing

No bracket came with the cars. Just put some foam on the back of the plate to stop it rubbing or better yet just secure the plate with 3M 1inch x 1inch squares that way(if you have a personalised plate or a NEW personalised plate incoming) you don't have to drill into the plate. Also greatly reduces any chance of vibration and scratching the panel.

Thanks guys all good now pretty much followed the above

I always use the little rubber feet for glass tables to ensure that both the plate isn't touching the paint, and reduce vibrations

spr1nter · 11-16-2012, 05:49 PM

Took a few pics over the weekend, have to say I am LOVING the velocity orange

ZZT86 · 11-16-2012, 06:22 PM

Looks awesome. The one thing I prefer about the 86 over the BRZ is that colour option.

Nafe · 11-17-2012, 04:41 AM
