My 1st Is200

[LEECOUSENS]

Hi folks as you can guess iam new to the forum, we picked up our new baby yesterday an IS200SE AUTO with side skirts and rear wing, is there a proper term for this model (aero pack?) she is red with 58000 on the clock (1999) this is the 1st car with rear wheel drive and auto that i have ever owned.The old car focus st 08 went to a new home the very same day , still a little sad but enjoying my new toy , just need some decent weather to give her a good clean.

Jobs to be done are refurb the alloys and paint the calipers, what would look best gold or red, has anyone got pics of either on a red car?

Well look forward to learning from you all.

cheers Lee

That would be great if you could , i bought the car privately from a lady that had owned it from nearly new , the only thing is they have managed to loose the service book so only some reciepts, its just had a fresh MOT and the cam belt and water pump have been done , how much for a new set of dics and pads? the breaking does not seem as good as the ST probably seems different because of the auto gears.
