Thanks again everyone for your comments and advice. I requested a quote from Autorestore as suggested by 200h... the price they quoted was £687.82 inclusive of VAT.. That also includes a £25 discount!

Many thanks for the information Ganzoom. I am obviously highly reluctant to be paying around £900 with Lexus to repair this and then hand the vehicle back. £80 for just a reflector is extortionate!. I will keep looking into alternative solutions - although any further recommendations to get this repaired would be most welcome.

Many thanks to those that have responded. I did consider using the hairdryer method but thought that it wouldn't look like a quality repair and I will get stung for damage charges when the car returns. if anyone is able to advise of where I would be able to source a new bumper trim and reflector and fit that would be great. I am reluctant to take it back to Lexus as I imagine they will charge a small fortune! DJP - I am moving to an Audi A4. I had hoped to continue the lease with the Lexus for another year but the costs quoted increased significantly. Whilst the A4 in my view isn't a good a car, it was a case of needs must and the lease cost was massively cheaper.

Hi all, After nearly two faultless years of ownership, I am sad to say that I am moving on from the IS300H. The overall Lexus experience has been fantastic, and I will no doubt return to the brand in the future. Before moving on, I have some slight damage to the rear of the car that will need addressing. I have hopefully attached a picture that you will all be able to see. There is no damage to the metal, however the plastic trim has popped in and a new reflector will be required. Would anyone please be able to advise on any repairers in the East London / Essex borders that would be able to repair this at a reasonable cost and carry out a good quality repair? I would ideally need the work to be carried out within the next couple of weeks. Many thanks in advance for any responses. Nick

Hi David, My Is300h executive was delivered this morning. I went with celestial black with ivory interior and I'm fairly pleased with it, although I am sure the black will be a nightmare to keep looking clean! The only question I can help with is the leasing cost! I am paying 330 per month on a 6plus23. I imagine mine is slightly higher as my mileage allowance is 17000 per year, although I would interested to know what yours is. Did you get a handbook with your car? The only paperwork I received was the delivery acceptance note. I am hoping there is something in the glove box although haven't looked yet?! Initial perceptions of the car are very good! Phone seems to have connected fairly easily, although I think the vast number of buttons on the steering wheel will take some getting used to. The volume of the radio sounds extremely low even when at high volumes? Was the executive edition fitted with a reversing camera, or just the sensors? Thanks Nick
