  1. Also notice how LOTS of items on eBay are misleading discriptions. some of the light bulbs - 9006, 501 sidelights or 18-22 inch wipers states 'lexus is200' on the title, no it isnt! there also for cars that has 9006, 501 & so on fitment. i did notice a altezza style spoiler with 'GS300' as part of the title unless it fits a GS300 too. few of my 100 reasons why i dont like eBay!! :angry:

  2. i like that film, but since that film was made so many people in corsa/ fiesta & saxo copied i saw a fiesta few month back with a front windscreen sticker '2 fast 2 furious' in same font as that sequel!

    i do like that Eclipse in the first film that blew up.

  3. Dont know if this been discussed but can you get an is200/300 as a white colour paintwork in uk as uk spec? i was looking through an very old Banzai magazine with someone saying you cant so it was special ordered in white but this was few yrs ago & i never seen a is200/300 in white not 1!seen a white altezza.

    i notice someone here in uk got a 'reveira white' is200 in uk that looks uk spec? & a is200 on eBay 'pearlscent white':

    here

    so 2 different white is200 but never seen 1?

  4. is not those ones on the website? thats well expensive!@ £24+ hope that doesnt come as single bulb!

    I got mine from scoto at www.altezzasportsandprestige.com

    Excellent quailty units and well good price...Give him a shout.

    When i fitted mine i managed to source some high power L.E.D replacements which work really well as the appear cleal but light brilliant red. will try and find a contact number, either that or ask scot about them he should know more...

  5. Thats why i dont like eBay, i have bought few things there only when is hard to come by or trying to save money. i mostly sell stuff on there even that i get people messing me around by not being interested in the item & not reply to countless emails i send, another way of saying 'dont want it' so why bid in 1st place?? :angry:

    i hear lot of stories of eBay & sometimes reporting to square trade or something cant help! :offtopic: there was someone here bought a car from eBay, altezzcollin??, that had lot of issue with the car! things like that scares me off even more.

    my advice is buy somethign for the kids online via 'official online shopping sites' (even them i not keen on)or go to the high street shops nxt few days even if it costs bit more.

    A friend of mine bid £90+ pounds for what she thought was an XBOX console for her childrens Christmas present.

    The Blurb said XBOX XBOX

    What it should have said was EXBOX XBOX.

    That was what she got, an empty box,she doesn't know what to get the kids now

    Some right B :tsktsk: s on there,Knowing it's Christmas and parents trying to save a few bob  :yack:

  6. thats bad, atleast is sorted now. i had some idiot in a van that scratched my last car as he let the handbrake go on his van so it rolled into my front bumper & he wanted me to pay for his damaged that he caused. is bad enough paying for damage on your own car never mind paying for someone elses especially if is not your fault. of course i didnt pay for his damage, told that stupid :tsktsk: where to go.

  7. me & my family got some from fancyplates too & didnt need V5, i d ont think mine or my family is show plates, standard size fonts but with badges of the car manufacture on the left hand side unless that badge other than the EU or GB counts as show plates....

    people bound to getaway without showing V5 i should think if they know friends in the motor/car accesory trade....

  8. Yea all AS200 features 'beams' even the standard 160bhp, there is a special edition model in japan with 6 cyl(not sure of the name) that is faster than the standard AS200 due to factory upgraded chip or ECU or in with help by TRD not sure......dont think is down to beams correct me if im wrong.

  9. If is the AS200 6 cyl then its 160bhp not 210 Unless its modified, is it modified did you notice? Even the AS200 Altezza has 'Beams' on the engine, so its features Beams, not many people know, cant remember what beams represents tho. this sales man must of mistaken it for a RS200? Speak to him again if your interested in the car.

    I just got back from looking at another Tezza. It was a 6-cylinder auto version without Tiptronic and the sales person was adamant it has 210bhp. It had “Beams 2000” on the black plastic engine cover. Is this guy trying to pull a fast one? Or is there a tuned up version of the 6-cylinder engine?

    Cheers

  10. dont know what performance is like for BMW diesels but i did see a newish 530d break down few months ago with 3 people pushing it aside & it seemed quite heavy by looking at it & no it wasn't out if fuel as the petrol station was just accross the road!

    I had heard a while ago that the diesel for the lexus would be a BMW unit!  As they use the Toyota engine for the Mini, it was a swop sort of arrangement - not sure if true or not!

  11. i had the impression that use to be the case, tho im not too keen on diesels myself, may be from past experience.....even tho diesels come a long way from the past or atleast as they say it has.....

    diesel is very popular in europe i just wonder why diesel cars are not popular in Australia / Asia, i mean in hong kong, there is no diesel cars officially sold there now even for 4x4, exception of taxi's/vans & lorries of course.

    Diesels are far worse for the environment than people first thought.

    they should all be banned !!!!!!

    in my humble opinion of course  :D

  12. if u do take it to lexus for repairs still check the quality of the work, i know someone that got a bumper spoiler fitted at lexus & the paint quality on the bumper spoiler is not too good but lexus couldnt remove it again as the bumper spoiler is bonded on with silicon or something..

    is not just teenage drivers....watch out for van drivers, :angry:
