Is your insurance policy currently on your old car? How about contacting them and finding out what the cost would be to change the vehicle?
EDIT: I misread, I just cancelled my parent's policy (sold car) and they pay annually. The insurance company refunded the remaining amount, and did not charge a cancellation fee.

I did mine earlier on this year, I decided to get a more unique colour, and found this paint: ebay link - the paint in the tin was good quality and has held up well.
To prepare it, I used these drill wire brush - Cheap and I got a better finish in minutes with them, than I would have done if I had to actually work hard and manually use a wire brush 😛

If you copy and paste the link in the box it should work (Don't click it), as it doesn't add the reference from this site after the normal URL

EDIT: It's pretty much exactly word to word as the Lexus LS Wikipedia page.

No worries! £800 is a bit steep but it will be an OEM fit and will be included in your warranty so its worth the premium I guess
EDIT: Could always try negotiate them into the deal
-
You can add them as an option though if your budget allows it.

The rear reminds me of the Honda Civic Type R.

Hey,
Maybe its just the various components cooling down?

Hey,
With the two problems you've said, I would first check the pollen/cabin filter.
Not many people change this or are even aware it exist so it usually gets neglected. If you find it is dirty then, (obviously!) replace it, and the smell should disappear and the air flow be greatly improved. And whilst your there changing the pollen filter, use those air con treatment/anti bacterial spray.
Hope that helps!
Here's a link showing how to change it

Looks great! Quite like the black roof.

Headlight adjuster should have 100% been covered.

Hi,
You could try these;
I don't think any websites show the part mat anymore, but the second link there is usually the diagram picture of the parts which should help, and they give the part numbers.
Hope that helps!

Yeah think I'll go for those ones.. Why are Xenons so much more expensive though? I mean I was paying like £10 for new bulbs on my old car with halogens. I get that its white, but is that the only reason? Are there any other advantages? Does it last longer?
I know its eBay, but, I've had 2 sets of bulbs (for 2 cars) and have been running them since 2014 and have had no problems with them at all and so far show no sign of any failures.

You can reprogram used smart keys, depends if your dealer will actually do it though!
EDIT: Just make sure you get the same key model/part number
-
Programming the key must be the easiest money that a dealership makes, it literally takes longer to get to the car and into the workshop than programming it.

@michaelH I've used tar and adhesive removers in the past to get rid of them, worked fine, some of the older ones took some elbow grease but got there in the end!
-
Hmm, maybe you could try jacking up each side of the car, and spinning the wheel? See if any sounds happen then, if it does, inspect it further, sometimes it could be a foreign object stuck somewhere.
I remember back in the dealership where I worked, we spent ages looking for a weird noise and it turned out to be a bit of card stuck between the caliper/carrier!
EDIT: But if its a knocking noise, may be something else, (not sure about the IS300H), but some brake discs have a screws to secure it, make sure they're tightened up correctly, and check the anti squeal shields are ok? And make sure the wheel bolts are torqued/tightened correctly.
Or just go back to the dealer an ask to drive another 300H and see if it is present on another car too

^ The rear view is a bit harder to see clearly, but the reg is right, and I won't be able to edit the video to play side by side simultaneously (as I only got my laptop back the other week from repair and haven't reinstalled all my programs yet).
But the clips are fine as they are to show to the police, and its the front where the action is!

What about https://www.amazon.co.uk/OMOTON-Wireless-Charger-Clamping-Charging/dp/B08BFZZP77/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=wireless+phone+charger+car&qid=1600006137&sr=8-8
It is a wireless phone charger, and it auto closes/opens, and if you are able to hide the wiring, could look pretty cool/be a nice gadget
