Thanks winnie for your reply. So becaouse the paint is thin i probably shouldn't get the chipped bonnet and front bumper resprayed as it will probably get chipped again?

Hi everybody. My name is Taavi and i'm from Estonia. Hope you guys don't mind me joining the UK lex club but Estonias lex club is a joke and you guys seemed to know a lot about lex-s. Oh and sry bout my bad English... I recently bought myself a Kensington Green 2003 IS200. Really love it. I almost bought myself an A4 but thankfully i got a test drive with the IS and fell in love with it. I've got a few questions though. 1. Has the IS200 had a face lift?. I'm asking this because around town i've seen alot of IS-s with silver rear lights but mine are black. I know that they are factory lights becaouse the car had only one owner and she was a close friend of mine. 2. The car has some paint issues, becaose the previous owner lived in a place with gravel roads. Is paint chipping a common issue? . Also the paint doesn't shine anymore. I set up an appointment with Lexus Estonia to get the car polished, but im having my doubt's about it. 3. I'm probalby paranoid but my Lex is an automatic and well i've had it for 2 weeks now, and well you know how it is with new cars, i've been pushing the accelorator maybe a bit two much (hate the fuel consumtion btw) and im getting the feeling that the gearbox has gotten a bit more jerky. Can this be possible? Also here's a few pictures of my pride and joy :D
