  1. Whitie, yes it was the 3 digit code, but it didn't help. :( Doodlebug, cheers I'll order it from the dealer, I'm going in next week for a service so hopefully I'll pick it up then. :D Smudge
  2. Halfords...... Bl**dy useless!! I have recently purchased a second hand sports grill for my IS 200. Its in great nick, but it needs respraying. No problem I thought, as the paint codes have been posted on here. So I wrote down the code for Granite Sky and procced to Halfords. First I went to Nottingham branch. They didn't trust the code, then couldn't find a match on their mixing computer so all the answer I got back was "sorry mate that colour doesn't exsist!" So I tried to explain, showing my car but they said they couldn't mix it without a code..... TW*TS! :tsktsk: I have now just came back from the Leicester branch where I got the same treatment! Now is it something about the code or are all Halfords staff Idiots (Im sorry for labeling you all, I know there are goods ones somewhere) Well I'm off the Lexus Nottingham next week for a service so I'll see about getting there. Sorry about the rant, but I had to get that off my chest.... Smudge
  3. I live near the motorway, so its mostly M1, A50. I sometimes do the A606, A46 route all depends on the traffic... I don't think we've passed... how could I forget a motor like yours.... ;)
  4. Zee, They are quite badly curbed, and they have started to corrode. I knew this when I purshased the car, so I got a better deal. I just need to clean/replace them. I would prefer to clean them as I think they look quite smart.... ;) Yeah I live in Nottingham and work in Leicester (Ansty) so I drive quite a lot in the area, I might have even passed a few members without realising it..... smudge
  5. Unfortunatly my car is 4 years old and i bought it 2nd hand so I don't think that the warranty is still standing.. :( Oh well, Ill have a look in the yellow pages in the Nottingham, and if no luck there then its looks like I'll be contacting Pristine.. Many thanks... :)
  6. Many Thanks.... :D I'm off to change them now..... well after a good read.. ^_^ Cheers Smudge
  7. Hi all, I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere, but I carried out a search and couldn't find anything... Anyway I've just aquired a set of Sport springs for my SE and would like to fit them, the question is...How? I am reasonably mechanical minded and would like to carry out the job myself (for the job satifaction... and the money saving... :winky: ) Are there any manuals guides etc that would help me? or is it best just to jack the car up and have a look/go.. ? I'm also going to paint that calipers whilst the wheels are off, the I can apply the caliper stickers i bought about 3 months ago... Many thanks Smudger
  8. Hi, All my wheels are quite badly curbed (They were like that when I bought my IS200) and now I've had enough of them. Their spoiling the look of the car... Anyhow... does anybody know of any good alloy wheel refurbishers in the East Midlands and how much it is likely to cost per wheel..? Im going to have to do it slow time i.e. one wheel at a time as I use the car everyday, so its out with the spare...! Cheers Smudge
  9. Hi, I think I've lost mine, too be honest I don't think I had one since I joined. I joined in Oct 2003, but had to re-register due to some problems.. Cheers Smudge
