Good afternoon y'all.

Just took delivery of my new GS300SE - its the facelift model smile.gif

I'll be doing a comparison between my previous one and this new one in time!



But here are some pics for now:




















Quite chuffed with it.


See you all at the next meet or thereabouts.

Very nice, and interesting to see the updates for the '08 model year.

As a question does it look as though the new chrome grille surround could be retro fitted to a car with the previous grille?

From the photo it would seem the new surround just fits over the existing bumper moulding.

Thanks in advance.

Would be nice though, but would be even more expensive!

They've managed an AUX in, which most car manufacturers often refer to as "Ipod" connection...

Basically just your standard 3.5mm stereo jack - no controlling your ipod from the car's controls or anything...

Not really - the whole front bumper mould has been redesigned to accomodate the new chrome grill.

But you should be able to see more or less what I mean in these photos:

Pre-facelift:


Post-facelift:
