    Spooky my other car is a legacy saloon lol I read that the sport cross didnt do well thats why is absent on th 2nd gen IS & as i remember some countries didnt even sell the sportcross when it was in production, some of these countries had fairly big market for wagons ! imo i thought the sport cross looked ok, if i was looking for a wagon a sport cross prob been one of my first point of call than a 03 accord or a merc c class wagon

    Well im not gonna count/rely on scrap yard co's to call back or email back as i knwo alot in past i contacted i never heard from when i knew for fact they had a certain car with certain bits in stock, from my old car as for some reason they got back to other people at same time :( anyway the dash tray well i was thinking its a novelty / for misc stuff like lose change or a phone(obviously i wouldnt leave it there when im not in the car !) than compulsory for glasses or a tom tom holder etc and no imo not worth all that money !

    Dont like the look of that accord cross tour, hope it doesnt come to UK, the bmw 5 series gt or whatever is called is bad enough ! As for the IS sport cross yeah surprised there isnt a new one seeing bmw 3 series, c class etc all got wagons even though some calssed the sport cross as a hatch or combo of a hatch-wagon lol, although seems like there lots of estates people go for now in UK unlike years ago, im not a estate type guy & last thing i/we want is lexus bring a IS wagon/hatch & discontinuing the saloon like what subaru did to the legacy in UK & not everywhere else which gets both the saloon & wagon :(

    Made up of 6 different parts plus 14 screws as it does not come in one piece :( So you would be looking at about £235.00 in parts :o Scrappy sounds good to me :winky: Andy £235 ?!?! WTF OMG!!!!! when i bought a front spoiler from lexus it only costed £140 all in and that dash tray!!! if a choice of either 1 only i choose from spoiler over that dash tray anyday!!! i would go scrappy peeps there isnt one near me not really worth while going x amount miles & spend x amount of time all for nothing unless i ring up of course i guess i do later, think for time being i go for jdm non smoker box !

    My dad had his windscreen on his 06 IS250 changed by autoglass (i think) last year from insurance due to a 'slight' crack that would fail MOT not sure if pilkington or original lexus, just wonder if i should look into whether its a OEM lexus one, far as we know been no problems or leaks or any noise saying if there was problems due to bad design by pilkington should we ask autoglass to sort it out. My old car a 2003 corolla t-sport glass was by pilkington i think there OEM suppliers to the corolla and certain vehicles seeing some other corollas where too, not had any problems during the 3 year owning that car though.

    Seeing the JDM dash tray is rare nowadays and most likely discontinued i came across this, from what i found out its a dash tray fitted to the 2003/2004 lexus is200/300(thats the only thing i found out about it), anyone know the part number or if it was available in UK ?

    By searching and reading some posts of the IS220d is it really that bad ?? ok some had no pprobs/enjoy the car but seems like alo dont.......only reason my dad didnt get one is they dont offer a automatic so he got a IS250 auto, likes it though we all do! despite mercedes, bmw audi & lots of manufactuerer offering an auto diesel...

    OK Are the main (high) beam of a is200 (no hid) 60watts ? i read somewhere it is however would it matter if i bought some 55 watts light bulbs for it & vice versa if its 55 watts and i bought 60watts bulbs ? also found a pic on online of a is200/300 fitted with 'blue' colour high beam bulbs, anyone know what type these are? if xeonon, etc?? think they look good, as long as it emits a white colour and not blue ! Cheers

    The GS430 got replace by the GS460 in UK in 2008 but both the GS300 & the GS460 is no longer sold in UK as of early this year which leaves the GS450h as the only model sold currently in uk, same with LS460 now isnt sold here only the LS600h, bad decision really as lexus is a luxury brand not a hybrid brand!! also why source from UK ? where is it you want to export the car ?

    Yep on a sport a -30mm is only -15mm drop not really worth if you paying all that money for a princely drop of -15mm, i got my eibach 2nd hand as it didnt lower the car enough for the last owner lol, however thre are springs out there lower the ca say -45mm, -60mm as was told standard shocks can be used,!! but i wont risk it causing lower life of the shocks.

    The only thing about the 1st pic of Altezza custer is it only goes up to 180kmh (114ish mph), looks good, i only ever seen a TRD/modelista cluster from japan which goes upp to 220kmh or 300ish kmh on the TRD ones, odd as usually japanese is restricted to 180...
