in all honesty i've never looked on the door part, I remember from my old car finding the paint code but now i'm not sure if it was under the bonnet or near the door, but yeh it'll be there somewhere

Yes thanks that helps ! i hope getting other ready painted items isnt a problem seeing lexus havent got a sport grille in 8n8 ! thanks guys !

Yep 8N8 is the right one for a 2003 car (strathcaron blue) - the sports grille was never available in 8N8 so it isn't a stock problem. You'll have to buy another colour and have it painted.

Hi,just a thought get a black one and especially as the standard one the car came with is sort of black you won't need to paint it(assuming you like it that is?)

It's also on the V5, you probably keep that somewhere warm.
