Took a chunk out of one of my alloys last week, still havent got over it. Think I will put the spare on at the weekend so I can wash the car as the dirt is currently hiding the mark.

Nice one! Its good to get recommendations for this type of service because you never know whats round the corner (hopefully I will never need to call them...) B)

Has anyone else seen the Sportcross police car driving around Swindon? I was on my way home tonight and had to do a double take as this police sportcross went past me. I didnt know blue lights were on the Lexus option list otherwise I would have had them.

Very Nice!!

I tend to agree I think bad fitment caused problem! Dealer must have been quoting from their standard excuse list!!

Car returned from dealer yesterday (they had it for two days), not very impressed with the long wait to get this sorted! Anyhow they have not replaced front bumper but just resprayed it. At the moment it looks "as new" but im a bit concerned this wont be a permanent fix, any thoughts? Do you think I should have insisted on a full replacement bumper? According to dealer this problem has happened before and they blame manufacturer, apparently there are two companies that supply styling kit and they have had problems with one of them.

Hi Nige, You probably had the original wheels from my IS200 Sport with styling kit!

BLUE IS BEST! Welcome to the club.

According to my local dealer "Lexus" was etched on windows instead of "Toyota" sometime in 2000. :P

Fit them yourself, local dealer fitted a pair on my brand new IS200 and scratched the paintwork I paid less than £200 (fitted) but only because I brought a brand new car. They are well worth the cost, your life will not be complete without a set!

Purchased my IS200 Sport recently and only paid £750 for Lexus Styling Kit (18" alloys and TTE bodykit), also got 3 years free servicing B)

Hey Fever Ive got socks older than you!! Neil 34 from Swindon

Can't do this weekend, but up for a micro-meet some other time. When and where ????

All new IS200s now have smoked rear light clusters except Platinum Ice (according to dealer). I have them on mine and they look coooool B)

Took it to dealer so they could have a look, they claimed they had never seen this type of problem before and even checked another IS200 with styling kit. The same stress lines are appearing on the otherside as well but not as bad. Dealer confirmed styling kit fitted at UK import centre, waiting for them to advise if front bumper can be replaced under warranty.
