Am thinking of respraying a grill as mine is broken I have found another one in a diff colour anyways has anyone done this themselfs using a spray can

and do you have any tips if i mess up no big deal take it to bodyshop and get it done but thought il give it a go myself

have no idea at all first time. someone said somthing about leting the paint bake? what does that mean or cant i get the same effect doing it at home

Astral black has to be the best in my opinion do like the the scarletti red and the kodiak somthing or another on the is200 le

I have fixed the car I have replaced the bumper and bonnet but am having a problem which i hope you can help me with

the bonnet fits ok but is raised a very little from the passenger side cant tell unless you know run your fingers over am guessin i cant do anything with it becouse its only one way to put the bonnet on has anyone one any idea how to sort it or is it a lost cause i mean i can live with it but if i can fix it rather fix it

Heard this somewhere a while ago and stayed in my head

Evil prospers when good men do nothing

I think its a good and very true statment

No nothing like that mate was just watching it and thinking to myself as soon as you step out of your house your being watched by cameras and now thay can watch us while we drive our cars big brother getting a little out of hand or prob just me being paranoid

I was watching something on tv and thay was showing something about how the Automatic Number Plate Reconigtion camera also takes a picture of the driver and passenger was wandering if this is true

Just saw on the news jury has returned with a open verdict

Am thinking of geting sony psp i like the old retro games. Fire & Ice, Chuck Rock etc anyways I heard someone at work mention you can download them from the net and save them on a memory stick to play them on psp I think thay call them homebrew games was wondering has anyone on here done this what firmware version psp do i need and are the games good quality

I thought I'd seen a report that he'd left the country and returned via Ireland, but there's been so much misinformation published I could easily be mistaken.

EDIT:

This must be the report I was thinking of.

It was probably corrected later.

Doesn't alter the fact that he wasn't running from the police, wasn't wearing a bulky jacket, didn't jump over the barrier, or commit any of the other suspicious acts which the police invented to justify their mistake.

Well said if Garethr

If the police had owned up and said yes we made a mistake was given wrong information and acted on that. I dont think it would have got this far and so much media attention. thay should lead by example not setting a very good one by telling blatent lies and making things up that never happend just so the blame doesnt rest on them I mean is that not a offence in itself

I thought same thing that Froch can realy take some heavy shots and thay just seem to make no differance to his performance at all he just kept coming back stronger. Both boxers were very good.

I dont realy rate Audley Harrison much if you be honest he is not very good at all have no idea how he won a gold medal

The other fight i cant wait for is the manny the pac man and Ricky Hitman Hatton which should be a great fight hopefully as good as the Froch one

Boxing these days you have to admit is not what it used to be. I was watching Carl Froch fight last night on ITV and have to admit it was one of the best fights I have seen for a very long time. Every round was exciting with both fighters going for it right until the end you just dont see fights like that anymore.

I saw the doco on bbc one about this a while ago. The police changed there statments lied about what thay said happend that day. what thay said was completely different to what the cctv showed and to what the witnesses saw who were sat in the same carrige as him. just a sad ending for everyone concerned

Thanks for the idea am going to ask folk on eBay who have any is200 bits n bobs for sale if thay have the parts i require if that fails will give Alan a ring and get a new one nothing much else i can do

I've rang emailed them all seem to have front end damage or parts sold. goin to take couple of days off work next week and try to get it fixed going by taxi to work and back is geting expensive

Looks like am going to have to buy a new one not having any luck at all finding a 2nd hand one fingers crossed thay have a christmas sale on lexus parts :hohoho:

Hi looking for a is200 bonnet and bumper pm if anyone can help

No checked for cctv but no luck. cant seem to find a 2nd hand bonnet anyone any ideas how much from the dealers. Not having any luck with the scrappers must have rang at least 40+ thay had everything apart from what i was looking for.

I finshed work last night and when walking towards my car I noticed some ****** bumped in to me. Breaking my bumper and headlight washer thing and also left a ding on the bonnet. Wanted some help finding the parts thinking 2nd hand ones but need car for work so if no luck with 2nd hand would have to get new ones. Not good with christmas coming up which would leave me broke.
