No extra cost mate, because they’re not performance modifications, just a spoiler and splitters, but check with your insurer first to make sure

Ok thanks. I think you're very lucky if your insurer doesn't up the price for these mods, in my experience most do.

I'm thinking of doing some mods to my IS250 but would like to know how much extra was your insurance for those you've made so far.

@LEXUS-4-LIFE The Grom BT3 and USB3 are not meant to work together. To use the USB3 unit with Bluetooth you simply add the Bluetooth dongle accessory for £40 - a lot cheaper than forking out £120 for the BT3 which won't work with the USB3 anyway https://gromaudio.co.uk/toyota-lexus-usb-android-integration-kit.html

I had EXACTLY the same thing happen to me. Both lights definitely on when I left work after night shift at 5am. On the way home noticed one light was out seeing the reflection from the car in front. Got home and switched the lights off and on again, got out of the car to take a look and the affected light was barely on. The next morning after night shift I was looking at the lights reflection from the cars in front most of the way home, both seemed fine. Got home and had a look, the light that was giving trouble the morning before was absolutely fine and looked exactly the same as the other side, and has been fine ever since. Strange isn't it?

Another recommendation for Uniroyal Rainsport 3 here. Just fitted 225/40/18 fronts and 255/35/18 rears 2 weeks ago and they do inspire confidence and strangely feels like there is a lot less roll when cornering. Great tyres for a great price - £417 fitted.

If the fronts are compatible with AFS put me down for a set of the fronts, I already have the rears (smoked) but not fitted yet.

Gents. If AFS is the folllow you round corners headlight guidance then it’s a no ☹️

Ok so no AFS feature, nor I suspect auto levelling. I think the pros outweigh these cons so put me down for a set.

If the fronts are compatible with AFS put me down for a set of the fronts, I already have the rears (smoked) but not fitted yet.

I always do the same if parked in an outside bay (always preferable) to give a little extra room should someone park next to you.

Nice shiny tail pipes too, well done!

Instead look into F Sport intake mod.

or K&N Performance Intake Kit 69-8701TP

Fog lights are built into the indicators so they do both jobs just like the latest Audi lights.

Ah thanks. Made an offer and got the smoked ones for £200.

I was looking into this some time ago, but it appears that with all aftermarket rears they're mostly made for the American market and don't have fog lights.

Thanks John, will see if they're still good value compared to newer spec tyres.

A quick question if I may. I've also bought a set of refurbished Hoshi alloys, not fitted yet, and will be using them for summer tyres, retaining the 17" alloys for winter tyres. I see you have Pirelli Sottozero 3, which is what I was considering, especially now as winter tyres are cheaper to buy during summer. So my question is how are they on the IS250 in the snow/ice and general performance at 7C degrees or less. Thanks in advance.

Absolutely fantastic job, the calipers look super cool. Well done!

Hi everyone.

Nobody seems to have mentioned the boxing/packaging of the exhaust. @Exdee how was the exhaust delivered? Was there adequate packaging? Any item can be sent via courier if it is adequately packaged. I realise an exhaust is going to be a challenge to package, but it's far from impossible.

Nice job with the cleaning. Only things I don't like are the F-Sport badges, and the shark fin placement, it's too far back. See below for what it should look like.

Thanks Texas. As soon as weather permits I'll put the shroud back on and refit the sensor.

Hi Linas - so this sensor is the little bobbly thing that attaches to the side of the plastic Battery cover? If so then I left the cover off as I also replaced the Battery. So refitting this and putting the sensor back should fix the Battery warning light issue? If so I'll put it back on - if it fits a Bosch S4 Battery.

Ever since replacing a faulty alternator 2 years ago my Battery warning light stays on, it does go off sometimes for 10-15 seconds but then comes on again, but the car drives absolutely fine. This previously wasn't an MOT failure, does anyone know if it will be under the upcoming new rules?

I'm interested to know whether you have to inform your insurance company of the modifications, and if they charge you extra, how much extra? Would be nice to know as potentially its an extra cost to bear in mind.

I have Nexen N8000 all round and never had any issues. I consider them a really good tyre for the IS250.

Looks good, but out of stock
