Thanks, pictures to come soon... Just ordered some lowering springs and 18s, don't tell the wife

Found this which looks like it should be relatively simple... http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=79510 Will post some pics when it stops snowing! The pics on ebay don't really do it justice, though this is the car: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/lexus-is200s-/261168792772?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=IunhTiMpMSLeBt%252Bdh3pXmrNG8ik%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc As usual the wheels are knackered but I'll be replacing them at some point soon anyway, got my eye on some black 18s when I sell the Audi. Just the dilemma of whether to go 8 inch wide or go all out, roll the arches and get staggered 9.5s on the back :)

Well, took the plunge and went to collect the IS lastnight. Bought it unseen off ebay so was a little apprehensive but for the price I paid it was going to have to be a dog for me not to bring it home (especially after getting a lift to St Helens to get it!). On first impressions I needn't have worried. The fella was a lovely bloke, insisted that now I've got a Lexus I will never want anything else. He had this one for 4 years and has swapped it for a new one. Has done 69k but looks and feels like it's done half that. Had a grin on my face for the entirety of the 3 hour romp home! Only thing that appears to be wrong is the the lights behind the heater knob on the dash has gone. Probably a bit of a pain to get to but not the end of the world by any stretch. Happy puppy so far....

Is that Nottingham way? Bit of a trek but Sister-in-law lives in Derby so could be an excuse to head that way and escape for a bit :)

Hi all. Set to collect my IS200 in the next few days so will no doubt be on here asking questions very soon! Looks to be a very helpful community, hope I can contribute in the future. Cheers Ian
