Hi, mods please don't ban me if I post this here. I'm unable to find a section for "free stuff giveaway". Also I'm unable to purchase gold membership at the moment and want to contribute to this forum. I have a brand new rear parcel shelf from IS220 IS250 in beige colour to give away for free. It will only fit cars without rear curtain i believe. This genuine Lexus part was given to me by my close friend who sold his beloved car, so it is up for grabs! Collection from London, East London. PM me if you interested. Completely free of charge. Picture attached.

hi thanks for your reply. It is Lexus IS220d 2008

Hi chaps! Hope everyone is doing great. (and enjoying the last rays of English sunshine before autumn & winter kicks in) I have a question as the heading suggests, I bought OEM Front and rear brake disks and all round brake pads. Would I be able to fit this myself or is it something that a professinal better do? Many thanks for your kind help! Arthur

Have a look here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-D4S-HID-XENON-BULBS-PAIR-LEXUS-IS250-4300k-OEM-SPEC-/160571075563 These are pretty cheap so ideal for your test out...

Your best bet is either ebay.co.uk or salvage companies...

Ask these guys if they do it: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PROFLOW-STAINLESS-STEEL-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-LEXUS-220D-/170557227144?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b600c088

All I can say is I wouldn't chip IS220 if I were you. It has negative effects over the time + adds too much tension on the diesel engine. This quote taken from another forum: " "Chipping" or more accurately reprogramming a modern day diesel is in my opinion just a bad idea. Aside from protecting your engine warranty if still applicable the risk is high that you will shorten the engine's life." Can't be any clearer. If you want more rough power, then go for IS-F or M3 types...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Most probably shouldn't buy these...can you imagine how much you'd end up paying to the UK Customs, in a shape of an import duty tax? God forbid me thinking about it...:D

Hi All! In need of a wheel alignment. Never done it before, so any tips appreciated. Perhaps someone knows a good wheel alignment specialist in East London/Essex? How much does it cost roughly for all 4 wheels? Also had my alloys refurbished recently, so don't want them getting scratched. Has anyone ever had their wheels scratched during alignment procedure? Thanks a lot for your help chaps! Arthur

Old wheels...

Like the colour. Don't know what colour to paint the callipers...

I'm also thinking of painting my callipers in either yellow, silver or black. Undecided yet.... Which one you think will suit my windsor blue car colour with recently refurbished smoked chrome alloys? Pics added. Thanks

Looks like it's bloody brand new! Well done mate! I'm in need of detailing my car too. What procedure you used to get such a deep shine? Love it completely! Nice car too, sometimes I wish I went for IS250 for its smooth engine sound...:)
