Ah I didn't think of them! They've always got prestige cars, and did you know the little shop there stocks Hershey's bars, yum! With regard to the windscreen, I've phoned RAC Autowindscreens and they've qouted me £197 fitted for a non heated, and £248 for a heated, all inc vat and fitted, sounds better! Sounds like Autoglass just don't want the work or they were supplying OE Lexus glass. Wingmirror on, being sprayed up next week and having the body damage sorted out! I'll post up some before and after pics when it's finished!

Hi Mate, Thanks for that, although I phoned Autoglass and they price they gave me was £596 including VAT!!!!! After picking myself up off the floor I figured I'd check some breakers yards. Do they ever come up? I've managed to source an electric folding mirror for £50 which I was pleased with, now just need to find four straight 18" alloys.....

Hi there, This is my first post so please excuse me if I'm in the wrong section, but I'm in dire need of some help regarding an 02 plate Lexus IS200. Ih a nutshell, the car has become mine because I've bought it off my brother in law who's about to lose his house without a cash injection, so I've bought his Lexus with the intention of selling it on once the "couple of bits" have been sorted and now I'm regretting it. It's fully kitted out with the 18 inch wheels and bodykit so it (was) a really nice example. It needs some work doing and any advice you guys could help with would be appreciated. Lets start the list!: 1) Busted Drivers wing mirror - thought this would be an easy fix, and if it were the passenger side it seems it would be, but locating one seems to be nothing short of impossible. Is there any way I can buy the parts and strip the existing mirror to fit a new case? No problems spraying it as I'm pretty handy. Are pattern parts available? Is it possible to get a passenger side mirror from a vehicle in the US (at a guess I assume they all smash of the left hand one!). 2) Bonnet Catch Sticky - I haven't checked this yet and it might be a case of just blasting out the crud and oiling it up, but is there a known problem with the bonnet catches I should be aware of? 3) Servicing in Cambridgeshire - Is there a Lexus specialist in or around cambridge? I've seen the price of the service it's due and hit the floor! Dealer prices seem horrific! 4) Windscreen - Insurance company say that the screen is too expensive and I have to pay not only the excess (£100) but an additional £300 on top of that. Sounds like BS to me, can anyone advise what route to take? There's a plethora of other things that need doing (tyres, brakes blah blah) but they are all easy enough for me. To be honest, pretty annoyed it's in such a state as I refuse to sell on a car thats shoddy, I wouldn't want an accident on my concience. Thanks in advance for any help you people can give - I'd seriously really appreciate it. Pretty annoyed as I've done this to stop him losing his house and I've ended up with a heap :tsktsk:
