Cheers Guys. I'll get pics up as soon as I can. Been busy cleaning her and getting her ship shape. B pillar suede trim was corroded on drivers side, so after extensive search on the eBay and parts websites both here, and stateside, I had to buy new (B pillar trim cost £176 with discount from Lexus). Fitted myself in around 30 minutes - dead easy!)
The Nav unit is going to be a strip down and re-paint (or I may look into chrome electroplating - the kit can be purchased off eBay for around £90). It's just a shame you can't buy the trim but it appears to come as part of the Nav unit at an OEM cost of around £4500 (Ouch!)
The car is running like a dream, save for a little scare on the way to Lexus dealer to pick up the B pillar seat belt garnish trim - Check PCS, Check LKA and Check Cruise all came on the dash and yellow warning triangle - asking to get it checked at dealer as soon as possible. I pulled over, turned off and re-started and thankfully the codes cleared. I just had the car washed so am guessing it was possibly something to do with water getting into or near the L shaped bonnet badge which takes care of all that stuff. Fingers crossed, it hasn't returned.
First full tank I'm averaging around 24-25mpg. Love the power of this thing in sport/hybrid power mode - although I don't drive it hard all the time, it's nice to know you have the power there if needed.
Mines had DTV freeview fitted to the rear (Alpine) so that was a nice undiscovered extra to find 🙂 - Might also fit XBOX if I get time for the little one.
It had one or two parking dings (5p shaped dents, so I went to Eurocar parts and bought a dent pulling kit for £9! It takes patience but appears to be doing the trick. One pretty unsightly dent already removed. More to follow!). Looking at the car now, you wouldn't dream she had done 70k never mind 187,000 🙂
My only gripe so far with it being the face lift, is they've added convenience entry/exit meaning the darn drivers seat moves in/out every time you start/stop the engine. To my knowledge (and Lexus dealer) this can't be disabled. I don't like it - but I guess it's personal preference.
I personally like the little facelift features (new front grille, re-designed instrument cluster which shows a short startup screen on entry, 5 seat config Rear Luxury floor mount screen). It doesn't stand out as much as my last car (Nardo Grey Audi RS7), but then again it's the complete opposite and discrete luxury I opted for this time. I grin every time I think someone paid over £100,000k for this thing and I stole it for £11,000.....
Long may she last 🙂
