I used a spare Lamborghini Huracan front plate mount I had with a legal "size zero" fourdot plate.
Looks ok to me. It's road legal (I can't be bothered with the stress of no plate / wrong font / wrong size / wrong spacing / wrong plate material). It doesnt cover any intakes or the design lines...
I deleted the muffler on a UK car.
I used a valve simulator plug from BMW to connect to the unused valve motor cable. No errors, codes or CEL. The BMW part no is BMW part 18302411427.
No noticeable difference on throttle response. Bear in mind UK cars have a GPF.
I find it absolutely fine...
I randomly received a call today from my supplying UK dealer. The lights and luggage net were available for collection. So they should definitely be available to order in the U.K.
The BMW dealer cancelled the order 3 days later.
"Supra" OEM Puddle Lights
Toyota and BMW dealers claimed not to be able to order either the puddle lights or the net as of July 2020.
I completely deleted the back box, retaining the cat and OPF/GPF and putting the valve simulator on the valve motor cable. I disabled the ASD sound faker with Bimmercode.
I find it absolutely fine. On steady cruise throttle or extended lift off it's stock quiet. On large throttle there is more...
Overnight, 04 May 2020, the Europe Evo 2020-1 Sat nav data was released for Europe, available to download in Toyota Supra Download Manager. It is 29.08GB.

Other jurisdictions will have their own portal.
BMW just cancelled my order for 63312463923. “Not available”.
I guess try again in a few weeks. Unless BMW have disallowed BMW dealers from ordering them as a part not specifically for BMW cars.
I’ll have a look on the net for European BMW part suppliers who ship internationally.
I ordered the puddle lights from a BMW dealer in the UK ÂŁ106.80, inc VAT, 63312463923.
My local UK Toyota dealer did not have 0852D-14010 as a valid part number yet. Not surprising, the logo'd boot mat only became available to them in December, which was available in the US/Europe from last...
AC Schnitzer, a company known for BMW tuning, is supposedly offering Supra stuff.
Some info on their German website.

Supposedly they’re offering an engine map, muffler, suspension...
Any bare chassis part that will act as a ground is good. The unpainted bolt on top of the suspension strut is good. Just ensure there is absolutely no possibility of the + and - clips touching.
The Toyota part no for the exhaust clamps is:
Part number: 90118-WA371
CLAMP NO.1, EXHAUST TAIL PIPE (FOR REAR) , MUFFLER-WITH(OPF)
My Toyota dealer couldn't specify a time for delivery, whereas BMW could source them next day.
Exactly correct - just the muffler part, just like the video.
As to whether it's too loud, that's highly subjective. I found it fine, but didn't drive it at speed. Another person may think ridiculously loud, another may think quiet. It's not as loud as the US decat cars. The pops and bangs are...
No that’s the GPF. That is monitored by a pressure sensor. If you remove it, that is an MOT fail, error code, and possible CEL / limp mode.
I cut downstream, after that, and temporarily removed the whole rear section to the tips including the transverse muffler.
I cut the silencer part of the exhaust out entirely just past the GPF. It’s louder of course, but not obnoxious and less than any modded US car. Some small pops and bangs on lift off in sport.
I’ve now reattached the original muffler using the BMW official exhaust repair clamps, pending getting...
