  1. Been looking into Tinting the lex, everyone in previous posts has recomended tint-r in nottingham. Might have to give them a call and discuss further. Whats everyones thoughts?, I like the discreet look so may go for the minimum light smoke tint (for back/rear windows). I think on a black lex the rear tinting looks good. What different tint options are there, and would all who've had it done recomemend it. Cheers in advance guys Manps
  2. Very Nice mate, Ive got a very similiar one however no tints... hmmm to 'tint or not to tint' i like it!
  3. I have to agree with all, its not very nice at all.. but again if the owner likes it, thats what counts.
  4. Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. I've booked it to be looked at by Lexus, (warranty should cover any work i assume/ and i hope lol) Cheers
  5. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before: When breaking between 65-60mph (no matter which gear i'm in) the steering wheel judders slightly. However everything is fine before and after the 65-60mph range? To be honest it only vibrates slightly and is more of an inconvienence because the car is so smooth at any other breaking speed. Aditionally the breaks do squeal sometimes aswell?? As the car is under warranty until the end of this year, its probably worth me paying a visit to the nice folk at Lexus Derby. Anyone have any ideas-suggestions on whats causing the problem so i can act like i know what i'm talking about when i go to see them? Cheers in Advance all.
  6. hmmm No gold member icon next to my name yet.... but its cool... all good thing come to those who wait... :winky:
  7. I just became a Gold member about 2 mins ago.... got in straight away. Just my Gold member card to wait for so i can start flashing it around Hopefully i get the gold member icon next to my name now when i post too lol. Next up i need to find my self some good deals and start ticking of items to do in my checklist. Cheers Manps
  8. Very good point........ ashamed i didn't think of it. Manps
  9. Good topic... I think i suite my IS200, Its like me stylish, unique, oh and a bit sluggish lol ... wouldn't change it for anything. I look good in it on the way to work (suite, tie etc). However on the weekends i think i come across abit dodgy, unshaved, footy top on and listening to load embarasin music.
  10. Cheers mate, I will try and see how much the prices vary... Still find it odd how each dealership has significantly varied sale/service prices etc, its like there competing with each other lol.
  11. Thanks for the info, much appreciated.. Its actually an intermediate service as the car has done 20,000 miles in three years and had its main service last year, thus its due for its intermediate one in year three. Thats why i though £190 for an intermediate service was abit steep... but i want the lexus stamp so will go for it. Cheers Manps
  12. Hello all, Wondering if anyone has abit of advice on a couple of questions I have. Basically brought and 05 plate IS200 SE in November, its due for its first ever MOT (Three years old) and its intermediate service in March. Its got a full Lexus Service History and has only done 20,000 miles in three years, which i think is very low. I'm going to book a service/mot at my local dealership and have been given a quote of: £50 ->MOT and around £190 for the service. Does this seem a good deal wondering everyones veiws on it? Ideally want to keep Lexus service history as a few years down the line think i'll have myself an IS250 in exchange. Cheers in Advance Manps
  13. Unfortunately the original alfa thread I started posting on has been removed by them… I think due to the limited intelligence of some of the alfa owners, as I kept on mocking there cars and they had no response (apart from the odd personal digs at me -which I said to them ‘is very easy to do on the net, not so when your face to face’ hehe) From now on when I see an Alfa on the Hard Shoulder with it’s hazard lights on (which happens at least once a week lol) I’ll have a wide grin on my face!
  14. Haahhhaa... don't think it was me as i haven't raced anyone on anyroad in my life.... i leave that to burberry cap wearing, about to get or already have an ASBO drivers like you mate.. woooohoooo Peace all, no more time some of us have got work, projects and people to manage... i'll leave you to playing gran turismo After my latest response i think i may no longer be welcome at the alfa site.... oh well thats enough now... time to be mature an leave it... it was good whilst it lasted, hopefully it will amuse everyone on this site. See ya Manps
  15. I've just sent another reply saying: I had an Alfa previously, however it was fifty-fifty if i'd make it to work and back without calling the AA :winky: 25 years old and i'm still a kid at heart lol
  16. A relaxing Friday at work as usual, i came across this thread at the Alfa ownership site (don't ask how ): http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/other-marqu...tml#post1596210 Basically a load of them discussing the lexus is200, not in a favourable way. Everyone's opinion has to be valued so its all good but i couldn't help myself from signing up and responding.... Have a read... No problems with Alfa's, i actually like them but can't let a bad word about the lexus pass :winky: Manps
  17. This is an onging problem, and i do think that they need to be taught some respect........... i would grab one or two of them, drag them into the garage and lock it with just us in there, next we can try to talk about the issue and come to a resoloution.... if not then i'd just batter em in the garage so they won't be coming back. Also get the digital camera and take a load of facial snaps of the tw@ts. honestly there is no real resoloution as these little 'skinney runts' carry knives around with them.... shows what society is coming too Manps
  18. Good topic and responses were an intresting read.... I remember listening to good ol Notorius B.I.G (hi-hop artist back in the day) rap about a lexus a few times when i was a young-un think i was about 12 or sommin.... then when i saw a lexus is200 and wanted one. I use to try an follow em on the motorway with my good ol trusty punto at first lol. When i passed my test it took me 5 years to get one (after paying of student fees and loans and finally getting a decent job lol) Good image, perfect size, and makes you feel good. and you don't see a 100 of em a day (like beamers, audi's and mercs).... Great car but i don't want to recommend it becuase i like not seeing them on the roads (even though i see more now )
  19. ?When i was looking for one i saw one advertised as "persian quartz" -> probably the worst colour on an IS i've seen so far..... apologies to anyone who's got one of those :winky:
  20. Cheers for all the responses.... and the pics posted were very helpful!. I think i'll wait for the weather to improve and then dedicate a saturday to doing it, decided on painting em black as it doesn't stick out to much but looks very smart when noticed. And goes with the very important young director/entrepreneur look i try to portray when i'm driving lol. along with a personal number plate i think thats me done in changes. Cheers and i think i'l carry on reading through some of these other very handy threads Manps
  21. Hello all, I've joined the ranks of lexus ownership a couple of months ago and absolutley love the car (IS200 SE with the works sat nav etc -which is great as i often get lost l :winky: ) I've been reading various topic over the last month and am impressed with the knowledge being dished out... A quick question, i'm wanting to get my brake calipers painted red (give the car a better look).. however my car knowledge is limited and i know its something i could do myself. But i'll probably end up taking it to a garage (most likely lexus derby), however do they do this and how much would it likely cost. It seems like a quick basic job??? Any advice would be welcomed... (i've seen threads that explain how to do it but realistically i don;t think i'll have the time) Thanks in advance guys Manps
