Picking Up My Is 200 On Saturday

[Steviewevie]

Just arranged to pick up my new (well, new to me) IS 200 Sport (Platinum Ice) on Saturday. Woo-hoo, can't wait ! :D

Through browsing the forum I'm already considering painting my brake callipers, getting a sports grille, and arranging for it to be WIM'd. Methinks the start of a slippery slope has begun !

Congrats on the car. The three things you mentioned are a good idea - painting brake calipers is dead easy and makes a huge difference to the car - put some Lexus stickers on them too and it transforms them. I don't have a sport grille on mine but I'm pretty certain they're relatibely easy to come by in platinum ice prepainted from dealers. Pretty cheap too I think.

Post pics when you get it.

Sounds familiar, I just got mine and have already fitted new tyres, sports grill, and hoping to get geometry done soon too!

Congratulations on the new car :)

haha congrats mate, seems to be the thing to do at the minute! I picked mine up last sunday uploaded some pics couple of threads down! You will absolutely love the car, I can't stop driving mine.

Welcome. You won't regret it.

At least you are starting with the cheaper mods! Cheap but effective, definatly reccommend sport grill and painting calipers, and getting the geometry sorted, if it has not yet been done.

May i also strongly recomment HID headlights. Under £50 now on eBay, easy to fit. Ask anyone who has them if they would ever wanna drive a car without!!! You will get only one answer!

One more tip..........never leave your Sat Nav on display!

Heh, funny you should mention that. My previous car had Xenons, and I did see some threads on the HIDs, so that was something else I had under consideration !

Having been used to Xenons I suspect the standard IS200 headlights are going to seem a tad on the dim side.

have fun with the new car :)

[Steviewevie]

Thanks for all the positive feedback. Just got back home with the car, woo-hoo, I'm so excited, I love it ! :D

That they will. So cheap now though. Dealers still charge £500-1000 as an option on some new cars though!

Congrat's on your new IS200 Sport.

Picked mine up last Monday and it is also in Platinum Ice - great colour. I am chuffed to bits with mine and the unbeleivable thing about it is that it's only got 24,000 miles on the clock and it is a 52'plate, but have changed that over to my private reg.

Have been thinking of painting the calipers myself.

All the best.
