Thats The Start

[rig-pig]

thats a start made

painted calipers and added lexus badges as you do lol

the new grill is on

and some new headlamp bulbs

getting new reg plates hope today if not should come Monday, il get alloys after winter and start on engine mods then as well

[Chimp]

nice tidy work that!

im doing mine on my day off on monday weather permiting, going to get some hammerite today... (was debating doing blue myself so its really great to see how that looks) personally think the blue suits your car down to the ground. :D

[Lexus2D]

Did u get that grill of E-Bay ?

Saw 1 just like it on there ?

[WylieCoyote]

A bold risk painting calipers blue with red stickers, not one I'd have tried but it's paid off - nice job! They really suit the car and stand out. Not sure about the grille, not really to my taste but if you like it, sod what I think!!!

Nice looking car matey.

Nice m8, the little mods make a difference as you say that grill looks differnt to most.. Where as I now see everyone has the Sport one even though they don't have a Sport IS like myself ;)

[Unregistered_User]

Howdo fella,

Nice work, very unusual grille - looks very different to anything around and about! Any more pictures of it?

Well done,

Jamie

[rig-pig]

il get some more pics up soon m8

but why is the grill that most people put on called "the sport grill" when mine is a sport and dosnt have that grill ???????

[Lexus2D]

Your Grill reminds me of an Altezza 1 without the badge

[chrisis200]

il get some more pics up soon m8

but why is the grill that most people put on called "the sport grill" when mine is a sport and dosnt have that grill ???????

I agree I also didn't have one on mine and I have a sport 2.. It has a silly sport badge on, so they call it the sport grill, probably just another way to make some money out of us..lol

Or maybe they fitted them to the later sports models? I don't know to be honest, I believe the sport has lower suspension but because mine is the 99plate I dont think I get that either.. Lexus need to stop robbing me lol

[rig-pig]

yes it duz i think with a L.S.D to ???????????????

[rig-pig]

the grill that i put on came from Germany il try to find out the make

in the meen time iv taken appart the standerd grill and going to see how i can get that looking

[rig-pig]

ok since last post iv added a K&N pannel filter, a set of Denso IR plugs, a set of PIAA bulbs and what a difference and i have just got a sports grill so will get some pic's up as soon as its on.

the HKS B/B will be getting order'd at the end off the month

[Rob's Lexx]

sounds good mate.

liking that grill, quite stealth looking.

at some point i'd suggest getting HID's, they are one of the best and safest mods you can make to ANY car....absoloutly fantastic!!

[rig-pig]

the grill thats in the first pic will be getting changed out for a sport grill and i will decide on what one to keep and the other will be going up for sale all i know is the grill that is in 1st pic is from Germany as it has it stamped along with date made

[rig-pig]

ok thats the grill on today and a TRD badge at rear

[Unregistered_User]

Nice one mate - you pleased with the result? Seems to be that your disease is replicating...

Jamie :)

[rig-pig]

dont know what grill to keep hav'nt made my mind up yet so may change them over again

[WylieCoyote]

I think the sports grille takes some beating. I watched a documentary about Jaguar once and they were saying that cars are always designed from the grille first.
