When I had an Alfa the Fiat dealer my wife uses serviced it. No issue with servicing because all the parts were common to both(had fiat and Alfa logos on filters etc) and have a common computer database , but they couldn't do warranty work. 

And if I go by my Alfa experience you might have required this- lots😉

Update- email from Lexus 

Thanks for your email about your Lexus GS-F.

I've spoken to the warranty provider and they will make an exception as you live on the Isle of Wight.  I assume the Toyota agent you are referring to is Wight Motors.  You can use them for your servicing without affecting the warranty. 

I ll ask

mb and smart works as long as the dealer is ok

i ll ring Lexus no Lexus on island

Thanks I ll check them have used oponeo in past was ok also

How are views re this

according to them leaves warranty intact

will it affect value?

Always preferred Michelin, I went for PS4 and not PS4S as I felt no need to go all super duper for something I will only road drive. Have to say the change from the OEM tyre was noticeable. 

In a good or a bad way?

how much was the price difference? Funnily I always preferred contis but am aware that they changed profiles entirely for sports contact 6/7 so cannot comment how they drive as the c43 came with Bridgestones funnily ( they ll go)

Could have been triple cooked before they froze them😉🤢 am a foodie myself and deffo happy to help

goid butchers here though too

Nice to meet you, superb car you've got only a touch jealous honest! Some really great roads to drive over there that was one of the main highlights of the trip that and seeing your car of course.

Nice to meet you too and always a nice drive in the summer on the island let me know if you ever come down south again happy to recommend some places to eat and drink that are not overflowing with guests

The GSF is a funny one, in pics I find it always looks a bit awkward, however one parked opposite me at Caffeine and Machine last weekend and I was totally converted, they are stunning in the flesh!

Road presence is deffo there in pics it depends on the colour they can look narrow and high but if you look up close.... the colours materials great...

in white and silver can be dull ( but think of a resale silver Benz)

The amg is an entirely different beast and on island roads probably faster point to point

behaves more rowdy / immature in a positive way ( the sports exhaust (- my wife calls it that man button🤣-it burps, pops and farts like crazy)

however no v 8 sound, lesser seats and leather

on a (desrrstriceted) motorway it would be left for dead once v8 comes on cam and if you close the door on the Lexus it sounds like a bank vault the Benz door sounds crappy

Benz is more economic but Burmeister looses to Mark levinson Sound System but better sat nav and phone integration despite older style command on this pre fl car

roof comes off interior nicer looking

both great cars in their own right

mb after sales is amazing Lexus only claims to be

No this is Mrs Cramorras C 43 convertible....

i am lucky that my wife is a petrolhead

That’ll be me 😎

Just looking out on the drive... it’s the Hatfield one so may well be only two in the country. I am on PH same user name....

love the car and come from  a c63 as I didn’t like Benzes going turbo charged. Love the car and the colour is stunning especially on a sunny day when it sparkles. Sound is great especially I’ve 5 k revs when it gets an almost NASCAR like whine to it...

services and garages are less helpful and more expensive then all I had with other brands so I find this overhyped, parts are more expensive and rarer to come by than  Mercedes parts also. After sales definitely has not won me over but love this car and it s built better than all Mercedes after W124

at the moment after new tyres and wondering if I should go for contis as I love them or stick with michelins

greetings from South Island 👋

My nearsidevheadlide is steaming up which is disabling the automatic headlight function

After researching lexus say it s an external damage so no warranty applies (1700 k)

I am not convinced as it os on top of the light a miniscule crack so does not look stone chip.... I think they try to r

Alternatively does insurance cover?
