Some very good pic's lads :D Stav, car looks good mate, i've never seen your car clean before :o

Very nice Chris :D join new club with Jamie

Welcome :D

Get rid of the red TDi bit on your air scoop

I meant it is the 10 years paid membership subscription, the Gold membership is for a 1 or 2 years. Don't think the club has been going 10 years year 01 i think :D

Well you should get 8 plastic plugs + bolts (4 for each side) to attach side skirts under the car, some bolts and small metal plate to attach at each end, some b/sided rubber strips to follow the edges of the skirts along the car, some d/sided tape to attach the front part to the front wing, you can buy the parts from lexus :D but not the 8 plastic plugs that attach the skirt to the under side of the car, for some reason lexus don't sell them :duh:

Very nice mate :D

Any idea where he got them done mate. My wheels are like new, apart from that one, so would like it fixed. And Mrs Mole will be paying. Only good thing is that I have a set of 5 He did not get them done mate, as the cost was to much :duh: but i will ask him where and the cost mate :duh:

Well Anees had the same problem with his BMW wheels, im 99% sure his could be fixed mate, but it was not cheap :duh:

Thanks. But how then, can you use information like "42 and up" when choosing wheels, because as the offset gets bigger then as you say the wheel moves in so surely it's going to be coming into contact with the inside of the car, which is what I was saying in my initial examples using the offset calculator. Where does this "42 and up" figure come from ? Am I right then that it's a guide to how to avoid the wheels sticking out past your arches (but taking on Gord's point about tyres affecting this too) but doesn't say anything about if the wheels might rub the inside ? Yes mate, 42 will mean, don't go any less or you may have problems clipping the arch. as i've said its just a guide mate, best bet if you not sure if wheels will fit, is go and try them or ask if anyone else running the same ET and tyres :D I once got some wheels of the net, told them what ET i wanted, but they sent ET35,i would not fit them, as they might not have taken them back, the wheel place was only in Bolton so took them back, he did put the wheels on my car, to try and prove his point (his listing in the book said would fit is200) but when fitted it came very clear they would not :o

Its only a guide mate to what wheels will fit. From what i've seen over the years of changing alloy wheels is, that it depends on the wheel itself :o One member on here is using ET35 on his is200, when i tryed ET35 on my is200 it was way past the arch and no way would even pass the MOT test, Anees has some wheels with ET38 and he had the same problems :o And then it also depends on what tyre size you fitting, say you have 225/40/18 with wheel ET 38, it might clip your arch, but if you used tyre size 215/40/18 you just might get away with not clipping your arch :D Hope this helps you mate.

Congratulations :D

Coming along very very well now mate :D
