Just saw this on the blog  

Was originally posted in May 2019 and pinned in General Discussions -

As the post is now over a year old, the pin was recently removed.

In Uber forum there are recent complaint about cat stolen, it is still going on obviously and would go probably worse as anything else when economy is going down.

Shopping yesterday

In car park saw same Yaris Hybrid as mine - but nicer white, racy machined alloys and mirrored side mirror casings 

 

But, when I saw the front, it's looks different - WAIT! That's a non-Hybrid bonnet!  

 

There was no HYBRID badges - so, do you think this is a PETROL Yaris but owner put in HYBRID rear cluster LED lights?  

 

I didn't noticed if it had the HYBRID front lights though 

 

[flash22]

Was it a Vitz RS or a GR-S,  facelift and the 2nd facelift have both front different front and rear ends to the OG

[Wayne2015]

Pics I got from internet, 

 

Definite this front bonnet (not sure of lights nor bumper)

 

And definite these rear lights (not sure of bumper)...

[Wayne2015]

These alloys...

 

Sorry, I no longer take my mobile with me when shopping (covid) - so no actual pics..😷

[flash22]

That's a t-spirit

[Wayne2015]

Ok

But is it a hybrid or not ? 

[flash22]

It was the top of the range, a lot of the early hybrids are top spec and had the pano roof (Lounge spec in Europe) a friend has the exact model on a 62 plate

 

shame you didn't get the reg, a tax and mot check will soon tell you

Ah

 

I thought that bonnet only applies to non-Hybrid ...ok thanks 🙂

Well, it's been a while 😷 

Where we are, last week we started our local lockdown  

 

Anyway, going back prior to lockdown when I look/bought a spare full size allow (as a full size wheel to replace the space safer) 

 

 

[Wayne2015]

Tested a full size tyre today, and....

 

 

 

[Wayne2015]

Dilemma...🤔 

 

Full size fits, but...

01. Raises the boot floor by several inches 

02. Will the space wheel securing nut work on the full size wheel? 🤔 

 

 

Hope everyone is well and safe 🙏

1. The carpet is over mine (spare wheel sub) but i have the boot board to hide the junk https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Toyota-Yaris-Hybrid-Rear-Boot-Parcel-Shelf-Black-2013-584100D050B2-/221837768166?hash=item33a68fb5e6

2. possibly not without a longer thread (wheel face down) a thread extender or coupler

[Wayne2015]

Will take the spare alloy out and check if thread is long enough, if not will look into a thread extender as suggested then...

Not checked mine as I want a full sized spare
