  1. Looks much better mate. I did the same in my old lexus. I also removed the orange indicator strips and used led indicator bulbs. Gives the lexus a more modern look
  2. Hi everyone. Just was curious to know if this is a good item or not. Its a chip which connects to the OBD connection on the car, Its a piggyback chip. Is it any good and would it work in my car and would it improve fuel economy? Seems too good to be true http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Performance-Economy-ECU-remap-chip-LEXUS-IS200-250-IS300-350-/170695150830?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27be394cee Thanks in advance for any replys.
  3. Well I've had no probs with my strut bar. I can feel a difference in the cornering and the steering is lighter. My strut bar was delivered with the towers on the wrong sides. Took bar apart and swooped the towers over. Perfect fit and is prob 1-2 inches off the air box. no modification needed. For the money you can't go wrong!!!!
  4. Well if the exhaust pipes are standard they should be 2.25 inches diameter. you can buy stainless steel pipe by the metre in most metal yards and maybe pop into some where like quik fit or humphreys. if they havent got any then im sure they can reccomend somewhere local to you.
  5. They look good. I've got them in my is200. But I have left the 2 outer rings so they don't work and am only using the 2 inner angel eyes. So it looks a little differrrent like one of yr pics. Looks more aggressive too. But angel eyes look good on a lex. But i Don't think I will be putting daylight running lights on my car
  6. Pretty light weight. Main strut is polished aluminium. The two suspension towers are steel and come painted black. Car handles much better though
  7. Just look on eBay for an inverter. I had to replace one on my car. Was about £7 plus postage. Most of the angel eyes kits are the same with same connections and inverters. LOok at the sellers selling the angel eyes kit and then look at there other items. Most of them sell spare inverters. Hope this helps
  8. I got the same one yr looking at. And I'm pleased with it. Car handles much better
  9. if you need any more help/tips on fitting feel free to send a pm. One more thing the one i used came covered in fabric,re did it in leather from a volvo armrest...basically the same color leather as is200 half leather seats. Hi Cou;d you send me a guide on how to install the fiat stilo armrest into an is200 sport. Got an arm rest on order but not to sure how to install it. Thanks
  10. Hers a couple of pics of my car with one on it. I brought the car with it on and never knew it was a cupra spoiler. But i think it makes the standard bumper look a little better.
  11. I had my wheels painted by a friend who works as a painter in a large car company. They only cost £140 to have done. They are not the standard wheel silver either. Its Jet black metalic and i think its arctic silver?? metalic. Look awesome when they are clean and in the sun. Really brings the standard alloys come to life
  12. Thanks for sorting my pic out. My headlights were very hazey and dirty looking. I used super resin polish ( Autoglym if i remember correctly)and they now look like new. Also used the polish on my rear fog lights and rear lights. They look like new again. £5.99 a bottle from halfords and 5 mins elbow grease and amazing transformation for a fraction of the price of new lenses or lights
  13. When i did mine i detangoed the front lights and replaced with LEDs also changed the bulbs to HID and installed Angel eyes. As my car is silver i didnt paint the interior of the lights. I took this pic recently and as i went to take the photo a bloody pidgeon shat on the front of the car. http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n540/thalystgv/IMG_2613.jpg
  14. I changed all my indicators to LED. Defo recommend load resistors. The relay option is a pain as you have to disconnect all the leads in the fuse box on the drivers side. Then unscrew the fuse box to get into where the relay sits. I just used scotch locks and load resistors. much quicker and easier. Managed to get my rear LED bulbs (Offset pins) and load resistors from Halfords. Said £19.99 on shelf and when it was put through the till it came up as £3. Absolute Bargain!!!:)
