Looks nice but I still don't understand why you rebadged it as a GS 430.

GS430 look alike. i was also struggling to find golden gs300 badges and found these 430 in gold so i thought why not lets stick them on . unless you lift bonnet you cant really tell if its 300 or 430.

The "R" reg might be a clue unless people assume it's a cherished plate.

very valid point... didnt think about that one

hmmm...i think im gona get rid of lexus and gs430 badge just keep L in middle.

Looking good, love the exhausts

Have to agree about the GS430 badges though........

looking good

new wheels make a good difference
could do with lowering a bit now

dont like the 430 badges....well not on a 300

nice looking car you have

Get rid of the 430 badges, anyone with a modern diesel will trip over themselves when they think they've managed to out perform a 4.3 V8 without realising it's 'only' a 3.0.

Iv'e just seen this on Piston Heads, why are you selling it?

i have seen one aristo MK2 for sale which i really really fancy. so hoping to sell mine and buy this aristo. only reason im selling my car is to buy this aristo but i am not desperate to sell my car and not desperate to buy this aristo.
