Maybe here?

Brilliant find, thank you !! 

Just used a duty calculator and it comes in at just under £55 delivered all in which is much more realistic.   If I can't live with the repair, I'll get it ordered.  Cheers Steve !!

Well, I can't seem to find a copy of one anywhere other than Lexus and can't believe there's literally nothing to it !!  I cant bring myself to spend over £100 on one, so have superglued it for the meantime.  It's not perfect, but to be fair, unless you were looking for it you'd never notice and I'll keep my eyes open for a suitable alternative. 

For anyone that may be in a similar situation, I've taken a couple of pics to show the parts number, should you try and source one.  I believe it's the 52114-24150.

Thanks to those that commented 👍

Phew!! 😌

I dread the think the cost of the grill if it was damaged too, if the plate holder is over £100🤦

Just now, NemesisUK said:

Looks like the grill has cracked to the right of the holder?

Nah, that's the towing cover 👍

Hi all.

Someone has bumped the front of my RC.  Thankfully no damage other than cracking the front number plate mounting bracket.  I contacted Lexus and it's just over £100 with VAT, after club discount 🤦

Was wondering if anyone has managed to order one elsewhere without the extortionate price ?  Grateful for any help or links.

Cheers

Hi guys.  I'm looking for a single, or full set of 4 black and silver centre caps for my folks 2017 Lexus NX300h if anyone has some for sale ?  I've attached a pic of their wheels and the centre caps they're after. 

Many thanks for any help

Dave

Hi All,

The upholsterer took a look at the pictures I provided and thinks it won't be a difficult job (famous last words lol) and hopefully maybe available next week.

Once the repair is done / not don will post pictures!

Thanks again for everyone input.

Barry

Any update on this Barry ?  Was curious to see the results 😄

I've seen this on my IS300h and now also on my RC300h.  Not every time, but fairly often so assume it's just the nature of Park engaging in the gearbox.   Obviously both of mine have the CVT box, where as i assume the 200t has a more traditional automatic transmission ?

This morning (Thursday 12th Nov) coming down Shedden Hill around 8.30am.

The first RC ive seen locally since i picked mine up around 6weeks ago and identical to mine 😂

They seem a bit of a rarity around here, which is quite nice 😁

Well Dave, in Holland we have a saying "every disadvantage has an advantage" and in your case that really seems the case.

Absolutely stunning in blue!

Cheers !!  Definitely a looker 😄

That is why I am comparing it with "Premium Nav" sound system, I just find it working better from poorer source and having more depth in "modern" music. ML is "technically" better system, but I found it to be more suitable for instrumental/vocal songs and not "universally" better.

Same here, but the fact is - car is terrible for hi-fi, your position is wrong in the car to begin with, so my bal/fad suggestions are to try to work around it.  

Agree completely....now i just need to get over my uncomfortable feeling moving the L/R balance from the 0 position 😂

It looks beautiful - make sure to elevate your drive way this time ! It would be real shame if this one would get flooded! 🥶

 

Haha, Cheers Linas 😀.  My IS drowned whilst at work...thankfully i'm situated on higher ground and refuse to park in that section of road anymore, just in case !!

Regarding ML and in comparison to Lexus Premium system I have notice following:

• ML has less base, but more clarity and thus is much more sensitive to source quality e.g. if you have very good source it will reproduce the sound with much more clarity, but if your source is poor (ripped from youtube for example) it will highlight all the artefacts you have there.
• ML doesn't have good sub-woofer, it is kind of weak overall on low frequencies... it is not a problem if you listening to classical music, or very instrumental/vocal songs - it has good reproduction in mid/high frequencies. But if you listening to modern music, pop etc. which tends to be very "bassy" system just isn't good for it past ~30-35, it doesn't have sufficient depth.
• ML just does not sound good past ~45-50 - it gets very loud, but it just somewhat sounds flat.

That said it is still very good system, just has it's own limitations - I wish they do something similar to BMW HK system where you have 3-subs, the main one + 2 small ones under driver and passenger seat. You just literally "feel" the music there without blasting it too loud.

 

I find its more the depth.  To my ears you can get the bass, middle and treble adjusted fine, but it still sounds kind of flat to me.   Ironically i thought the sound was slightly better on my Premium Nav spec'd IS, which is a little disappointing having heard so many people rave about the ML system.

To be fair adjustments provided by such "High-End Hi-Fi" are very limited and you only have 3 stage EQ and basic Balance. So my solution so far considering I am mostly sole "passenger" in the car is to set balance as +2R, +1L, and equaliser as +3L, -1M, +1H. This sort of works to give better depth for songs with base whilst removing mid/highs screaming to my face.

Funnily, i considered adjusting the balance L/R to try and feel more depth, but i must be OCD as it just doesn't sit well to me to have the L/R on anything other than 0 🤣😂

Hi guys.  Not posted on here since i purchased my IS, so thought i'd update.  I owned my IS300h for a little over 14months before my ownership experience was cut short rather abruptly, as you can see below !!  Im not going to lie, i was absolutely gutted, but every cloud and all that.

Id actually been considering moving to the RC not long after purchasing the IS so took the miserable experience of having my car written off to make the move and around 6weeks ago, picked myself up a beautiful  low milage 2016 RC300h in Azure Blue with sunroof and ML Sound System.

So far i'm really impressed.  The RC's ride seems a lot more compliant and less clattery than the IS300h...whether thats due to the lower milage, or chassis i don't know, but i'm really enjoying the drive.  Nothing notable in it regarding performance as its the same engine/gearbox but it does feel a more confident drive and as always, Lexus comfort and quality is first class.  As good as the ML sound system is, i just cant seem to get it set up perfectly (for my tastes) and it just sounds like its lacking that certain 'something'.  Anyone else find the same ?

Anyway, hopefully this one will give me more than 14months of enjoyment 😂

Yep!  There is now a 2 meter exclusion zone around my car 🙂

I'll have a look for phantom grey, cheers.

S.

...i must learn to read properly !! 😂

Phantom Grey ordered 🤞

After 9months of owning my F-Sport with the same wheels which were all unmarked, i kerbed one of the fronts yesterday whilst pulling out of a parking space 🙄

Id also be interested if anyone has a colour code that comes even close, just to take my eye off of the damage...
