Jason, that'd be awesome if you could! I'll even make u a cuppa!

Is200 manual XE-03-A, sport style please!!

My poor car... Looks a lot better than it did tho! Got a single ring coming from a guy off ebay who's willing to sell me one for a tenner, better than buying another set i suppose....

Right, I've finally got round to fitting my angel eyes but one of the rings out of the 4 doesnt light up !! i've swapped over the connections from the smaller one to the bigger one & that means its not a dodgy inverter. Do these break in any way ? I was rather careful when doing these & i'm dam sure I didnt break it... I might have to go back to the guy who sold me them on ebay but the trouble is... If i can't find a fault, is there a way of buying just one ring from anywhere or anyone ?

I've had my manual 2004 model for about a year & a half now & havent had a better car or smooth box.

Well I've put my name down for a set, we'll have to see if they come up with the goods ! BTW does anyone have a part number for that Grille ? If not i'll just give them a call & see if I can explain it. Ormi, struggling to find those dials too, none on ebay ?

Fil, when you say get rid of the chrome in the headlamps, sand them down & spray them black ? Oh and that grille you have, is that from an earlier model to mine?

Hi all, I'm fairly new to LOC however have been reading posts for a little while. I have a standard 54 plate IS200 Sport (couple of dodgy pics taken today) which i've had for about a year & a half now & after looking on here at other peoples IS200's I think i'm gonna tinker with mine a little. I don't have bucketfuls of cash so i'll be doing a few bits n pieces when i hit my monthly bonus which should give me £300-£400 at a time but its a case of what to go for. I've just purchased an angel eye kit for the headlamps which should arrive next week, nice n cheap for starters. I will get the HID xenon headlamp conversion at some point too. I want to lower the thing cos it does sit a bit too high for my liking but obviously this model already sits 15mm lower than the standard model & due to my budgeting I think I will simply get some lowering springs on their own however does anyone have any recommendations on which ones to go for as I believe the normal 40mm lowering springs that would take it down 25mm wouldnt be enough ? I have seen the LED rear lamps which I absolutely love but have seen chrome ones & also a smoked type & not sure which one would suit my model, opinions really would be appreciated. I'm gonna change the front grille to a badgeless one which I have seen on a couple of other peoples IS's as I think they look good, not looking at changing any of the bumpers of getting a kit for it just yet, one step at a time. 1 month's money will be spent on upgrading the discs & pads all round & painting the calipers, gold i think is the preferable opinion in these forums, i'll get the lexus decals to go on them at the same time too. Like I say opinions appreciated as this'll be the first car i've really done bits too as all the rest of my cars have been real dogs up till now ! Roger
