I think what the guy is trying to say is that he is getting better throttle respose when his car is cold. i.e: his revs drop off much quicker from a blip of the throttle when he has just started it than when it is warm. Can't say i've noticed in mine but ill check later.

Well done on a good choice of colour. Rare colour too, i was so dissapointed when i saw the first other green one drive past mine. Mines a sport though - so i have the added bonus of speed bumps trying to rip bits off the back of my car if i go over any faster than 2 mph with anything in the back!

Hi Guys, I changed my brake pads the other week as they have been needing changing since i bought the car about 3 months ago. This is managed painlessly with the notes from the forum - so i would like to thank Matt Clawley for that. However when i was changing the pads i noticed that some clips were missing from my front right brake caliper that are there on my left. It seems that the clip stops the pad from moving too much and the fact it is missing is probably the reason my pad clunks when i change from forward to reverse. Does anyone know the part number for this and prices etc? Just want to see if its worth me buying one/some. cheers, Ed

yeah i hope so too. Just need ot find my cheque book now, so i can wing a cheque off for the grille. Been running round the house today trying to find it. That and Ikea don't make for a fun day off.

Allready asked, but they said something about not being able to mix private and insurance jobs together. I think they were just being difficult as they were busy. The paints in a spray can now so.........i'll do it myself and hope for the best. I'll just have to be patient and wait a day between coats an all that. Chris S will sort me out a white grille so all is good :D

Right, well i've got the aerosol paint from halfrauds and some primer and laquer. So i need ot get the grille in. On a side note some Indian guy hit me in his Mitsi Shogun pulling out on me without indicating. So the car is in the shop getting the drivers door skin, whole drivers side wheel arch and headlight getting replaced. Driving a mitsi colt atm as a curtousy car; i swear its about to topple over on every corner i go around (maybe a little fast!)

hhmmm interesting. Thanks tango. I'll look into it.

I know but i think that as the green is a rarer colour there were less around to start with or something like that. Even the guy on ebay has no green ones. I'm just going have to hope a member with a green one gets a body kit sometime soon so i can buy it off them or get one and have it painted.

Yeah thats what the guy said on the phone. They are just selling off the stock now so the variety is thinning out. Well it looks like this is going to be more expensive than i thought. £30ish for the grille and probably £100 for the paint. :( I'll have to look out on ebay have only been seeing the carbon fibre ones. Thought about those but decided against. Descisions, descisions..........

Hi Guys. New to the forums here. Just bought myself a lovely green IS200 sport. Very happy with my purchase. I would like to change the silver grille for the sport one. However my local dealer (Twickenham, and i've read their reviews :( ) says they dont stock the grilles and they are not available to order in that colour any more. Now i know i can buy another colour and repaint, however its gonna be a lot cheaper to buy it in green. Anybody got one for sale? Or is there anybody i can contact who can help? Thanks in advance. Ed
