Firstly - welcome to the club John.

You will have electric folding mirrors as standard and have a browse around the site for modifications. Eibach springs and HKS exhausts are popular choices..........

Enjoy...... :zee:

Welcome to the club mate. if money is an issue, GO GOLD and get up to 15% OFF at dealers and other suppliers.

I don' t have an IS but I think your exhaust is stainless.

I would advise you to do a search on Eibach springs on this forum to see the group buy specal deal.

The rest I will let the IS boys sort you out with.

Enjoy the Car.

One question, the AvantGarde is an E-class... why you gone for a smaller car?

Welcome to LOC :)

Well there's another member here who's not long ago gone the other way - i.e. from a Lexus to an E-Class :lol: :duh:

Don't worry about the Sat Nav being CD based rather than DVD based. The CD still covers the UK in as much detail, it just doesn't cover the rest of Europe. It has the same (some say dreamy, some say nagging wife) voice as the DVD system, and it's way cheaper to upgrade the map disk - like £150 for the CD rather than £400 for the DVD :o

Anyway - am sure you will enjoy the new car!

next question do i have automatically folding mirrors or

Hi Lapat, And welcome.

Just to clarify, the IS200 wing mirrors do close, but only whenyou press the button,, not automatically when the engine is swithced off (if thats what you were getting at...automatic)

With regards to some basic mods,, i myself initailly wnet for the HKS Super Drager exhaust and also the Cold Air Induction Kit, both of which was supplied and fitted via TDi

Since then i have upgraded to the Supercharger and so i have a complete Cold AIr Induction kit for sale.. PM me and im sure we can work out a deal for you.. as way of introduction ;)

Oh and if people havent mentioned it before Go Gold, Go Gold, Go Gold.. :hehe::whistling:
