Excellent to hear. Yes he does get booked up quite quickly, so book early to get the date you want. I'm sure you discussed this, but he gives you the option of blueprint or lexus parts, make sure you specify which ones you want him to use. You can also supply your own oil if you want him to use something specific. Let us know how you get on :)

Excellent news, well done! Out of interest, do you get interference lines scrolling up and down the screen in this video mode?

Niraj just sanded and painted his original one.

Congratulations, another champion in the making!

Wozza, he's pretty 'hands on' as his avatar shows.... LOL

The journey from Maidstone to Sidcup is a tad shorter than from Plymouth though mate Sure is. Some other members might find it useful though... ;)

For those of you who are interested, I really rate Derek at: Tech One Lexus/Toyota Specialists St. Johns Parade, Sidcup High St, Sidcup, Kent DA14 6ES Tel: 020 8302 0600 Been using him for a while now on a number of the family cars. We had two full services done on two IS200s, all belts, all fluids inc transmission and gearbox @ £500 a piece. He's a small independent garage, an ex top technician from Lexus/Toyota who left and set up his own business and has been successfully trading for many years now. Definately worth travelling to him IMHO. £39/hour labour with a proper Lexus/Toyota stamp, you can't ask for much more really. HTH

I could get the belt changed for you in sidcup by an authorised lexus indy for around £150-£200.

I'm surprised the new BMW M3 wasn't in that line up...

Nice set Woz, enjoyed the choons. Tiny bit of RnB flava in there to :) Although I keep hearing James saying, "shout out to Page" in my head now :P (I think she fancies him)

Don't they burn out after a while anyway!?

Woz is on! B)

Speechless

Hopefully next week, but I've heard that a couple of times already lol. I'm pretty sure it will be back by Friday. Sucks though, I'll be at college for the revision phase of my papers! Probably won't see it for a few weeks!

Super stealth, I like!

I bet it's a fake.

Ok ... as you said he's been 'evaluating' your cloth for five months, we could say what is he doing with it ----> joke: forensics on it? So I said we can call him a forensics expert. I suck at explaining jokes

7 Weeks what you having done? It's having a bare metal respray with a full TTE/TRD bodykit fitted at the same time. The Aston Martin guys down there are doing a 'trizac' finish to the paintwork (reduced orange peel finish - bit like Mr Singhs work on his car). It's then all being sealed up with Supaguard (yes I know it's not raved about). Hence a local detailer is then going to apply a few layers of Zaino sealant. I'm hoping it looks pretty 'black' :P when it's done and lasts a while too! Also got loads of small bits to go on aswell: Auto 'sport' pedals (ala Wozzer), new alloys (first on an IS I believe B) ), front parking sensors (ala Niraj), HIDs, Grom kit, updated Sat Nav. Will have to take some pics for you guys lol, I'll tell him PJ didn't know you were a forensics expert :P

I haven't got any snaps as yet, still waiting on getting the car back - they've had it 7 weeks now! From what I remember, it kind of looks like someones sprayed some deoderant on that section, hence you get a 'whiteish' effect in that area. I remember showing the bodyshop guy when I dropped it off, he said it was because of the plate behind the cover super heating when it's hot Thanks for the advise chaps, where's the best place to get it?

It was the postman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the post through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope. At the second house, they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures. At the fourth house, he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When he had had enough, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and freshly squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied, she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a fiver sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge. "All this was just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the fiver for?" "Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you. He said, 'Screw him, give him a fiver.'" The lady smiled and said, "The breakfast was my idea." ************************************************** ******** One morning while making breakfast, a man walked up to his wife and pinched her on her bottom and said, "You know if you firmed this up we could get rid of your girdle." While this was on the edge of intolerable, she thought herself better and replied with silence. The next morning the man woke his wife with a pinch on the breast and said, "You know if you firmed these up we could get rid of your bra." This was beyond a silent response, so she rolled over and grabbed him by the *****. With a death grip in place she said, "You know if you firmed this up we could get rid of the milkman, postman, the gardener and your brother!!!" ************************************************** ******** NHS versus PRIVATE !! A wealthy woman was being shown around the hospital. During her tour she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating furiously. 'Oh my GOD!' screamed the woman. 'That's disgraceful! Why is he doing that?' The doctor who was leading the tour calmly explained, 'I'm very sorry that you were exposed to that, but this man has a serious condition where his testicles rapidly fill with semen, and if he doesn't do that at least five times a day, he'll be in extreme pain and his testicles could easily rupture.' ''Oh, well in that case, I guess it's okay,' said the woman. As they passed by the very next room, they saw a male patient lying in bed while a nurse performed oral s*x on him. Again, the woman screamed, 'Oh my GOD! How can THAT be justified?' Again the doctor spoke very calmly, 'Same illness, better health plan.' ************************************************** ******** Uses of Vaseline.... Joe wanted to buy a motorbike. He doesn't have much luck until, one day, He comes across a Harley with a 'for sale' sign on it. The bike seems even better than a new one, although it is 10 years old. It is shiny and in absolute mint condition. He immediately buys it, and asks the seller how he kept it in such great Condition for 10 years. 'Well, it's quite simple, really,' says the seller, 'whenever the bike Is outside and it's going to rain, rub Vaseline on the chrome. It Protects it from the rain.' And he hands Joe a jar of Vaseline. That night, his girlfriend, Sandra, invites him over to meet her Parents. Naturally, they take the bike there. But just before they enter the house, Sandra stops him and says, 'I have To tell you something about my family before we go in.' 'When we eat dinner, we don't talk. In fact, the first person who says Anything during dinner has to do the dishes.' 'No problem,' he says. And in they go. Joe is shocked. Right smack in the middle of the living room is a huge Stack of dirty dishes. In the kitchen is another huge stack of dishes. Piled up on the stairs, in the corridor, everywhere he looks, dirty Dishes. They sit down to dinner and, sure enough, no one says a word. As dinner progresses, Joe decides to take advantage of the situation. So He leans over and kisses Sandra. No one says a word. So he reaches over And fondles her breasts. Still, nobody says a word. So he stands up, Grabs her, rips her clothes off, throws her on the table, and has his Way with her right there, in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her dad is obviously livid, and Her mom horrified when he sits back down, but no one says a word. He looks at her mom. 'She's got a great body,' he thinks. So he grabs The mom, bends her over the dinner table, and has his way with her every which way right there on the dinner table [Happy Mother's Day Mom]. Now his girlfriend is furious and her dad is boiling, but still, total silence. All of a sudden there is a loud clap of thunder, and it starts to rain. Joe remembers his bike, so he pulls the jar of Vaseline from his pocket. Suddenly the father backs away from the table and shouts, 'All right, that's enough, I'll do the flippin dishes!!!' ************************************************** ********** LMFAO

Before my car went into the bodyshop I noticed the passenger airbag cover on the dash had started to fade quite noticeably. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? I tried to rub in some product to bring back the shine, but it just dulled back afterwards. I did a quick search and came up with these threads from our brothers across the pond: http://my.is/forums/f87/does-your-passenge...ch-dash-207063/ http://my.is/forums/f90/passenger-airbag-c...st-dash-154913/ http://my.is/forums/f90/dash-paint-sticky-335566/ Doesn't sound too good, my car's long out of warranty and I really don't want to spend money on another airbag to remedy this?

The arches wouldn't need painting if you rolled them a little...

Excellent work Ahmed and good on you for sharing. I used to have that aerial aswell on my old dvb-t tuner. Now I'm running the Alpine 150DVB-T and aerials (come as a pack of two). I think they are far better mate.

I'm sure you have already, but have you tried posting up in pocketgps?

There about £65+vat I believe...
