Yeah you are absolutely right! The crash data is stored on the AIRBAG ECU which will also need to be cleared. I can see why these lovely cars get written off with very minimal damage. I had no airbags or anything else go off apart from these poppers.

Hello all, Thanks for your messages all. Thought I would just drop by and post a quick update on the progress. So after starting this project, i managed to pick up a front bumper from EURO CARPARTS for £70!!!! can't go wrong at this price so why not and give it a try, fitted perfectly well which was also to my surprise, but maybe because it was from tokyo and not china haha. Anyway, so far, the restoration has been as follows :- Front bumper from EUROCARPARTS £70 Middle grill with badge, bottom grill with parking sensor set £200 OEM LED Fogs £80 Chrome Surround for Grill from LEXUS £140 2x Bonnet Hinges £60 Waiting patiently for delivery before it goes off to the sprayers DLR Lights £260 from Alibaba Fog brackets £40 Fog Surrounds £55 I have postponed purchase of the bonnet poppers. On my list is also to install a rear view camera as mine doesn't have one however it has the SATNAV so does this mean the wiring is already in place and I just need to plug a camera into the boot? Thanks again. Ash

Hi thank you I managed to sign up to a couple parts breakers but nobody has the front bumpers. Although there are plenty of bumpers for the is250 and 300h but no grills! Cannot believe how difficult it is to get parts for this car haha. If anybody knows anybody breaking one please get in touch I will take the whole front end including the day time running lights etc. Thank you

Good morning Shada, Yes i think it's best I get a genuine bumper and it professionally sprayed etc. In regards to the grills etc do you still have contact details for crowd? Thanks. Ash

Hi no I don't have any part numbers but I suppose it will be the front bumper, all the grills, fog lights, parking sensors, led daytime running. I will see if I can get some part numbers.

Evening all Yep accident damage to front bumper, popped bonnet (predestian safety poppers have popped), wing and bracket for bumper. Luckily everything inside of the front crash bar is intact including the crash bar. Will take some pictures when I start building the car up. I am already eyeing up the f sport bumpers!!!!!!

Many thanks guys, this is perfect as more is250 bumpers available 2nd hand then the 300h. I called lexus and they also quoted under 300 quid for a bumper so not bad at all. The bonnet poppers they want £1800 each LOL I really cannot justify paying nearly £4,000 for two small sticks which is not really going to save a predestian but I guess I will just have to look out for a used one as otherwise the dash light is going to keep bugging me. The grills, ,fog lights, and the lexus badge is where lexus will rip me to bits on. Guess how much 1x parking sensor is? £80! Here comes my lexus ownership haha I'm only wanting to fix this one up as it's only done 30k on the clock. Thanks. Ash

Hello fellow Lex owners, I am taking on a Lexus IS300H 2015 model and will be requiring a front bumper with all the grills etc. Just wondering if the IS250 front bumpers are the same and will it fit my EXCECUTIVE model? The silly bonnet poppers have also popped up and just wondering if i can reset them back down. thanks for your help.

Good afternoon all, Ash here from London with a Lexus getting delivered soon. Getting myself a 2015 300H in a weeks time purchased back from insurance company as friend had an accident and wrote his one off. Mrs drives a Yaris 2014 Hybrid and cannot believe how similar these cars are. the CT200H is basically a Yaris Hybrid too! I am hoping to add some suttle modifications to the car but before i do any of that, I will be requiring a full front bumper with grills, bonnet grill, and also bonnet pop up lifters are both sides have popped up. Off I go to browse this lovely forum. Regards, Ash
