puresilk

Thanks

I was Thinking 6K but if 8K is slightly more blue then I might just go for 8K!

Cos I have seen the 8K for £159 all in

I wanna upgrade my lights now my 30mm Eibach lowering springs have arrived and will be fitted very soon, But I dont know which ones to go for. I have seen HID kits and I think HB4/9006 is the correct one for the Lexus IS 200 but which ones shall I get from 6000K 8000K 10000K and 12000K.

I know the 12K is really blue almost purple and I have read somewhere its recommended to get the 6K ones but has anyone got any experience in these?

And finally how much should I expect to pay I have seen prices range from £120 - £250 why the huge difference?

Your help would be really appreciated!

It's my budget that's the problem, I've just taken vol redundancy and going contracting (IT), my budget is £4k as I need to pay off some plastic as well.

Wish I didn't sell the IS200 in July 06 now!!!

If you got a budget and are contracting, u want something reliable go for an Astra diesal or vectra or something not Alfa youll be catching the train and bus cos yr car will be in the garege 90% of the time!!!

If everyone went green in the uk I mean really green!

They would still TAX the **** out us for going GREEN! LOL

another Bull**** tax!

This save the planet business si the biggest load of B0"LLocks I have ever heard!

The planet has been around longer than us and will be around longer, thre planet has its own way of cleansing it self (maybe natural disasters etc)

So really were just trying to save ourselves from these batural distasters we couldnt give of F&CK about the planet!

USA population approx 300 million, China 1.1 billion and India 1.2 billion and many other countries are chucking out more Co2 then a poxy population of 60 million could ever do, there are much worse polluters then the UK, What does the governent think that we can create a pollution free zone over the UK????

It has to be a global effort or F&UCK it!

Its just another rip off TAX that the government are comming us into beliveing we are saving the planet!

And we are all so F&*CKING stupid that we moan and moan but never take action, but take it right up the arse all the time as a country in whole??????

It might a BMW mod!

But it looks much better on the Lex!

Id go for them esp as one eye is bigger then the other!

Yeh sorry to hear that mate!

Id love to catch one of those scrotes doing it!

I would love it!

Avoid it if yr having discrepencies so will someone else when you sell the car!

Get a Lexus Alfa are Shiiite!

That guy with the hook was an idiot full stop.

I see people preaching Christianiaty all the time in towns and cities!

You cant judge all by a minority!

And PIP judging by yr posts you seem to have a bit of hatred or ignorance about these communities in you which is quite SAD!

I thought UK was a multicultural society!

Id rather spend 100M on a mosque, Cinegog, Church, Temple etc then Billions on Blowing the S&%T out of Iraq!!

A lot of people do actually think that G W BUSH is on a Christian Crusade in the Middle East as he keps referring to the Axis of Evil etc etc,

My opinion is that he thins the axis of evil is Islam!

But at the end of the day Every religeon teaches peace why cant they all adhere to that? its when politics get involved and misinterpretations when all the grief starts and of course idvidiual idiots like G W BUSH!!

Hi

My winscreen had a stone chip crack about 8 inches on the passenger side!

RAC Autoglass came out and the guy pointed out that the Front screen on mine is Heated and the one he had wasnt!

So now I need to re book to get this done!

Its £60 excess and WILL NOT affect your insurance as it is an allowed claim due to safety reasons!

And what do you think Jews teach their children about arabs and muslims?

We could go on an on!

No just the clear plastic case needs to be popped off using a screw driver, fiddle with it and u will find out how!

The middle roof light for doors the one that completely pops off!

I changed my lights recently took 2 mins!

America have lots as a country!

BUT one thing they dont have and will never have is CULTURE!

Thats why they are all over the world trying to find it!

A lot of Americans have never been outside USA, mind u they dont need to they have evrything cities, mountain ranges, countryside, lakes, desert, the works!

And there is a lot of brain washing in america too from a young age!

I hate buying a new car cos 9/10 i dont know much about them i.e levels of trim differences in kit etc etc!

I didnt know 2 much about IS300's at the time of buying mine otherwise I would have got one!

Scarface's Lex was heavy!

Im thinking of dropping mine 40 mm!!

But mines a 99/T and i know ill start feeling all the bumps, and more squeeks and knocks will start sounding! the roads here are getting bad!

I need to see the Doc at some point too, my last set of tyres I has a lot of wear on the inner edge of both fronts although tracking and everything was bang on!

The media are just paranoid and trying to spread as much false information on Islam as they can!

As we are all well aware they are very powerfull and there are so many ignorant and people with a lack of knowledge that belive anything they read or see on TV!

Now i know how the Irish must have felt!

I get the road noise!

Its like you can hear the wind whistling slighly more than say for example my mates BMW!

But to behonest it dont bother me I just crank up the stereo!

And its very minor the noise anyhow!

At my local mosque the Imam is the leader of the prayer and in my views is a very pious and decent man I never see him get involved in the politics, once the prayer is complete the Imam usually goes off as he has many other things to participate in which may be a reason why no one challenges these idiots outside mosques!

There is a quote from the Holy Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) where he states that "At the end of time there will be 73 different sects of islam" my undertsanding of this is that muslims are "pick and mix" with islam to suit their needs hence not following it correclty. And belive in some parst of the Quran and dismiss other parts of it!

I can understand why some of these extrememe views are taken, as it is a fact that muslims and Muslim countries are being persecuted and attacked by the west steadliy over the years, examples In chechnya in the late 80's early 90's tens of thousands of muslims were murdered and ethnic cleansing was rife by the old Soviet Union and no one intervened for years!

Another example is The illegal invasion of Iraq and occupation of it, some 500,000 children have died and countless others what crime did they commit? Was the removal of one corrupt leader Sadam Hussan whos Bath party was put into power by the US in the first place worth all the bloodshed? If iraq did not have oil would the US and UK who blatently lied about wepaons of mass destruction have gone in? Who is paying for this war and why are the oil feilds so well guarded in Iraq by the US forces?

In palestine innocent muslims are being killed with tanks and shells by the Isreali army villages are being wiped out but non of this is shown on the news! when a palestinian whos whole family, neighbourhood has been wiped out by Isreali bombs, straps a bomb to himself and detonates it in a crowded isreali market, there is uproar and it is all over the news! But one must ask himself is that a normal thing to do i mean to strap a bomb to yourself and blow yourself up, you have to really P*&%$D off at something! It is not a normal thing thing to do!

After 9/11 it was stated that all them men involved were of Suadi descent not one of them was Iraqi or from Afganistan! So why did the US attack Afganistan and Iraq? and why cant they find Bin Laden? I mean they have satelites in space that can read a news paper from the ground and they cant find 1 man? something aint right there! Yet the saudi's are best friends with the US and the BUSH family has business ties with the Bin laden family through their corporate companies !

And now the US are gunning for Iran!

All the above are the views of some of these extremists that I have heard and a lot of it is true and fact, BUT i do not agree with the way they want to change things and a lot of the political statements they use on young muslim boys who have no knowledge of the bigger picture!

That Lex looks crap!

I would be embarressed being seen in it!

Hi GWilso

Interesting post but here are some fo the facts about ISLAM!

I know there are a lot of false preachings in mosques but a lot of this is political and has nothing to do with Islam, there are a minority who claim to be Muslim and dish out this crap at mosques but a true muslim ignores these and tries to correct their political views of those who are trying to put these views under the flag of islam!

Any true muslim goes by 2 things the teachings in the Holy Quran and the Prophet Muhammed's (PBUH) sunnah. Now the Quran is the word of Allah(***) and the Prophets sunnah is how he interpretated the Quran in his daily life and gave examples of this as a lot of people do not understand the Quran fully so they look at how the Prohphet did things.

In Islam you are not allowed to have sexual intercourse with a women who has not reached puberty and is of marriagable age.

The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) also stated in his sunnah (teachings) that you must respect and abide by the laws of the land that you live in, therefore if in the UK the laws must be respected and that goes for all muslims.

For example Interest is forbidden in Islam but you have to get a mortgage in the UK if you want to buy a house, and you have to pay interest so Islam is understanding of this and it is accepted that you can take out a mortgage, even though a mortgage is a blatent rip off and the ammount of interest you pay back is almost 3 times what you borrowed hence why Islam forbids Interest. You can get an Islamic mortgage but the jury is still out on them cos you do pay interest somewhere its just called something else like part rent etc etc.

I know there is a common belief that muslims and Islam promotes terrorism but I assure you that in the Quran terrorism is forbidden for any true muslim and so is murder and ill quote a passage from the Quran "anyone who kills a single soul it is as if he killed entire humanity" so you can see Islam forbids murder and denounces terrorism and states that every soul is very precious.

Islam also forbids Racism stating that Allah created Man and made him from different races hence a white man is no more superior than a black man etc.

Also in the time of the Prophet Muhammed non muslims lived alongside muslims where christians and jews were allowed to practice their faith and live amongst muslims in peace, Islam teaches muslims to be tolerent and polite to people of other faiths and respect them despite what you might have heard.

All the above quotes and explanations come from my understanding and reading of the Quran and Sunnah so Islam is a religeon of peace, but I know there are many so called muslims who dont pray, read the Quran, or have any knowledge and they preach hatred and false views for their own political gains and means under the flag of Islam and they are the ones who I am wary of.

If you have more questions feel free to put them up if I can answer them i will.

I had a Calibra at the time which was nice and slick with leather but so unreliable, When I first noticed Lexus IS 200 i just thought WOW really sweet car nice shape and i loved the alloys. It was different to BMW and the colours along with rear lights made them stand out!

Now that I have bought one its the best car I have had its reliable, smooth, full of gadgets, not a BMW and when people ask what I drive and I say Lexus the say WOW like im driving a Bentley or something LOL

So the brand must have a lot of credit!

Im going for a factory painted Lip spolier for my Lex which comes with 2 adeshive strips for easy and fast fitment!

I was wondering has anyone had any experience with these after market spoliers, and has anyone had any probelms wit them i.e paint comming off, water getting underneath them, spoiler falling off etc etc??

Yr advice would be gratefully recieved!
