The Official AUSTRALIAN Thread

[BMWAF]

Are you referring to the puddle light under the doors? As in, we do have the light so we can swap, plug and play with the Supra puddle lights (the light that shines the Supra logo onto the ground when door is opened)?

There are two orders at my dealership. Mine (blue, gts+alcantara auto) and a yellow gt manual. Toyota offered us a car this week... and it was the yellow one :'( so 50/50 and I lost haha.

We ended up declining it though because that customer said he doesn't want a Supra anymore. Hopefully being the only other order I see it early next year.

I think it's about 3 months shipping time to Australia from Austria anyway (yellow one just got built and is in motorpool).

Woah.. Which dealer? I am after a Yellow manual. Are you in Victoria? Alcantara? Is this worth telling my dealer to try and grab it? Am I asking too many questions?

And with regards to the puddle lights, I just meant that the light exists so I would assume the cabling is there and ready for an Aliexpress $20 puddle light lens kit.

Gah, just noticed in those pics that it looks like we get the toyota badge above the supra badge on the back.
Hate it, that will be coming off mine.

Yeah.. same. Hopefully the manuals will see the red badging too.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up - I'm keen to pick-up a set then! /goesandorders

Hopefully the PM's made sense with the manual yellow GT too. Sorry man, so close, but so far away

They do not, on the GT or GTS.

Zoom in on the posted pics of the blue one MA617M.
You can see it in the pic.

That's why I posted the pics. There's a lot of misinformation going around and I think most of it is because the sales guys largely know far less than anyone who has browsed this forum for thirty seconds. Two prominent examples are the garage door button (a sales guy told me these were standard on all Australian cars) and I read somewhere that the new red strut braces were included too. I guess there's a possibility that manual variants may differ but without actual empirical evidence, I think that car posted above is indicative of our GTS equipment level.

@Vanta Got any pics or insights to share on your car?

 

[MA617M]

Sorry, misquoted.
I meant the red 'Supra' badge.

But yes, no garage door opener for us - was on all early O/S models too, but we never got it. Was a shame.

Ahhhh ok, gotcha MA617M.
The red badge would have been awesome, the toyota one above it sux.
Could probably get the supra badge enameled red or something.

 

[MA617M]

Yeah, I didn't remove the Toyota badge on my 2019 8AT, but I will when the 6MT arrives.

It feels weird having two Toyota badges there... last Supra to have it was my A70 but they don't have the round Toyota badge, so I guess it makes sense...

I'm going to try and get my hands on an official red Toyota Supra badge as I think it would look great. Annoyed we don't get it. Anyone know where to start.. I'm all over the p/n thread but our US brothers are pretty precious about their A91 status symbol badges lol.

Maybe going through Europe? Anyone got any ideas?

 

[MA617M]

Yep, all EU 6MT had the red badge, so nothing to be precious about. Their special editions are just cash grab versions of our GTS haha.

Maybe ask one of our UK members to take a look?

 

[Snakes70]

Wohoo, finally got a batch number for mine today.
Means its still months away but its a start at last.

 

[MA617M]

Yeah I haven't got anything.... my dealer is chasing it up the chain...

 

[BMWAF]

Zip here too, predictably.
