Hi all,

I'm Steve, aka Spitelli, and i'm the proud owner of an RS200.

I come from a Toyota background with a tip top MR2 Turbo running 406bhp (Built & maintained by ToyotaGT) which has now become my weekend toy and the need for a 4 door saloon presented itself.

Thanks for having me, look forward to meeting you and catching up on all things Lexus/Altezza.

BR, Steve

Welcomw to LOC fella, get sum pics up of your RS and MR2.

Welcome mate,

Stav

Welcome mate

Thanks guys, Mucho Appreciated.

I will get pics up of them both in the next few days and feedback is welcome of course.

I have the JDM Altezza grill with the red diamond badge in the middle and I've been looking all afternoon for the black meshed grills with colour coded surrounds that some of you guys have. I love the look of the TRD Carbon ones too.

Where do you buy them from and how much are they?

Thanks for your help.

Steve

The Grill your on about is the IS200 Sports grill, available from Lexus dealers for £35 painted i believe.

Stav

I paid £41 for a sports grille (from a Lexus dealer) a couple of months back, that was including a LOC Gold member discount. List price is higher than that.

Hello & Welcome mate, last week i paid £48 included painted & delivered from Lexus Glasgow.

Guys thanks again, i'll take a butchers into my nearest Lexus dealer.

First impressions you are very welcoming and helpful. I'm really happy to be aboard the LOC

Welcome to the club matey

I only paid £36ish for my grille from Lexus L'pool different dealers might charge different prices as there franchised so it's pretty much up to them, either that or massive inflation.

Hello & Welcome to the loc.

Some shots of my Altezza







Some shots of my MR2

Altezza looks smart mate, like the white/black wheels combo.

Not so keen on the MR2, but its all personal choice.

Stav

Welcome to the LOC

Still getting a warm welcome, thank you.

I have another question about wind deflectors, do these also come from the dealership or are they sourced elsewhere?

May I also ask how are they secured to the car?

Cheers, Steve

elsewhere I think, and just slot in I believe.

Nice looking Altezza mate

hi welcome to loc nice looking cars

welcome to LOC matey...nice tezza & MR2...

welcome to the dark side of the club matey , glad to see more tezza owners in here

The dark side hey, he-he

Thanks guys, I'm really happy to be aboard.

There are some very nice examples on here, looking forward to seeing what they have had worked on.

By the way, does anyone know what make of body kit has been fitted to mine and if it's factory spec?

Yes mate yours has got the TRD skirt kit fitted as seen on quite a few of the IS200/300's and Altezza's but not sure if its a factory fit as a lot are fitted after by the owners

Excellent, thank you aztecbandit1. Can you tell me where I can get a TTE boot lip spoiler to add a bit of style to my boot?

Cheers, Steve

Not sure if Lexus dealers might still have them ? Think they come unpainted.

I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for your motors, I don't live far away from you !

Correct yes they do and Neil over on parts @ Teesside has just done me a deal on the TTE lip spoiler and i'm over the moon. Really really good service, price and next day postage too.

Sweet!

Hi Steve,

Im a new boy too also with the need for a saloon with a bit of oomph and the RS really fits the bill.

Anyway,i have been trying without much luck to source the red grill emblem so if you do change it then please bear me in mind.

Enjoy the car,

Chris

Ok Chris, I sure will.

Happy motoring pal
