haha no a rear windscreen wiper would be better than an arm rest! Anyway more realistically... Thanks for posting that guide for the lights i may order both HID lights and some coloured bulbs and attempt to do the lights this weekend. Tempted by angel eyes though. For coloured bulbs will these show up orange if i remove the orange part of the headlight even if they are not on? Peoples lights at the meet appeared completely clear when off which looked great.

Hi thanks for the quick reply. I have a 1999 model. I am after a satnav upgrade as plan to travel to Europe in the summer but not sure i can handle the job of the complete replacement which involves cutting the frame and inserting a sony one and am also not sure about upgrading the current one as stated in other forums the 1999 only had cd not dvd changer and im not sure about the possibilities of a swap out. One thing i forgot to mention i will be doing soon is a trip to WIM. If getting arbs done is it advised to get new springs? I would like my car lower but i think without coilovers which are abit out of my budget as i have the sports suspension already spring will not make a massive difference? If doing these suspension mods should i wait to go to WIM until everything is done or if i go before then make the changes will i need to go again? Regarding the front lights will the orange bits just pull out or will they need replacing? Think i should ring the dealer about parts but dont wanna get too ripped off. Thanks

Hi i am a new member to the forum but attended the Midlands meet last weekend. Was a really great meet and got to put some faces to profiles and got some great ideas for my completely standard IS200 sport. So far my only mod is debadging and a k&n air filter. I opted for this over the prolex induction kit as i may upgrade to this later. Money is however obviously the main option and so id really like peoples opinion on what they think i should get done first. I am quite happy with the interior and sterio at the moment so am mainly looking for exterior and performance gains. Any advice would be appreciated: Performance Exhaust: The blueflame was reccommended strongly at the meet and looking at around £265 ARBS: CUSCO from ebay: £300. C-ONE from prolex-uk: £400. Is it worth the extra £100 for the extra brushes? In a seperate forum people reccommended arbs over exhaust and i use country roads often so am interested in how much difference there would be between CUSCO and C-ONE Exterior Lights: Looking for some eyebrows but just the straight ones and i have struggled to find any - most of the ones have two dips in them Front indicators: clear ones looked really good at the meets but struggling to find any. Does the entire front light need replacing? Rear lights: Smoked lights looked really good aswell but there are many different ones on ebay. Many people at the meet appeared to have standard ones but smoked. This is what i have been considering so far and if anyone has any suggestions on other mods and particularly suggestions on any suppliers i may be able to use it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi i got my IS200 sport this week. Completely standard and will be until i get paid at end of month but would be great to get some idea for mods. It ok to come down?

purchased my IS200 Sport last week and first post in the forum. coolrides that looks great can i ask what year your car is? Mine is 1999 and as posted in another forum sits higher at the back than later models. Will start mods next week and induction kit and lowering is first. A couple of questions: 1. For this amount of lowering are coilovers needed? I have standard sport wheels with eventual plans to move upto 18" 2. Springs i have found are stating 35mm lowering front and back. Will different springs be required to lower more at the back and if so what make can anyone reccommend? I really want to drop mine at the back and as the sports suspension is already lower than standard a 35mm spring will not make a massive difference i think. Thanks in advance.
