I have a grey one on order since 27 May. Apparently it's just on the boat and I'll get it towards end of Sept. I'm making myself popular with the dealer by emailing every week asking for an update.

Yeah! So to compensate I keep on adding things like rear exhaust trims, sill protectors and a week ago the upgraded sat nav and rear camera.

Does anyone know what the 'sports rear silencer kit' is like that the dealers sell?

Nice, mine has the front lip and rear spats. The satnav is not particularly good imo i'm afraid from what i saw of one, but the rear camera is a nice addition.

I would go with a 3rd party exhaust rather than dealer ones, will be er expensive. The MY11 systems can be retro fitted as well.

Otherwise I'd drop JGM / Andy Forrest / Andrew Carr a line.
I couldn't find anything about this on their website

No thankfully lol I tested a BRZ and to be honest it just sounds artificial and a bit tacky.

Is that the standard upgrade unit? I've been offered the AVIC-F860BT with the camera.

I'm not an XXR **** but I do think those new saloons would look better with a nice set of 19s on.

Definitely looks better lowered a bit.

19s tend to ruin the handling, had some on the blob which was similar weight and it made it pants. 18s are where its at.

Thanks. Bit disappointed with the seats in it, the seats in my 2010 saloon we much more supportive. Apart from that it's great. Even managed 34 mpg this morning

Do you have to drill a hole for the reverse camera wire and is it difficult to route back?

No holes to drill. Positioned it on bottom of bumper and ran the wires through one of the grommits. Just need to remove the inside sill trims to run to dash.
