Oh well will have to wait and see, mine's in Auto Trader now but not much response as yet, seems that the economy and the damn war is effecting peoples confidence in spending on a decent motor.

Chris, how long did it take to sell? Looks like I'm heading off abroad with the new company for a while to live in the far east. Will break my heart to sell it but have no choice hence the question. I'm pitching it for 16K now and see what happens..

Andy

On a similiar thread, what do people think the right price for an IS200 SE with front mesh grille, sat nav, rear boot spoiler in platinum ICE, absolutely immaculate with only 11750 miles on a 2000 X plate ?? any ideas

Andy

Snow + IS + standard road tyres = ballet dancing. Sounds familiar. Glad to hear you are ok though.

Claire, leaving it at home is the right idea, get a second car or take the keys to your other halves. That's what I do, much the best option. Should really invest in some snow tyres, I've heard the IS is really good in the snow, my friend has one in Europe which is great, but with the conventional road tyres it's not worth losing it.

All in all - SNOW DAY DECLARED (In the south)

Oooh 500 pound excess, ouch :o Best be safe than sorry. Working at homs sounds the safest way. The IS's are a bit unhappy in snow.

Well with the tyres on the IS, and following a skating session in mine last year, I declare today a snow day!

No need to go to work.

This is mine with aftermarket 19's. I think they make a "huge" difference.

Hey, love what youve done with those 19" alloys and the -25 drop, what size tyres did you opt for? the whole package looks great.

Andy

I'd agree, I'd like to do mine all round but not too dark, just smoked front and rear.

Rod, I went with AXA, they did ask about mods but seemed happy they were done by Lexus (not huge mods admitted) but the quote was good, you may want to give them a try.

Andy

Welcome to the club Number 6. :D

Looks excellent Si, TDi have done a superb job and money well spent.

I've also heard a similar story on both counts firstly regarding the IS to keep numbers low and secondly to maintain depreciation levels at a minimum. I believed it given the small numbers you actually see on the roads.

Security on cars

Talking about car security, did anyone catch watchdog tonight on TV?

There was this interesting feature on the pegeout 406 Saloon problem where someone could get into your boot with bare hands and nick contents! Very scary!

yeah - I saw that too - I'm glad I don't own a 406!

Yeah those 405's eh poor *******, nice design that you can open the boot with your fingers and they know about it, sounds like a major law suite to me.

:smilegrin:

Mmm it has that Pinifarina look that Peugeot gave the 405 coupe some time ago, not bad :wow:

Mojo, Check out the pics of mine in the owners galleries:

This will show you the front grille, as for price I'm not sure as I negotiated it in with the car. Chris Shipley may be able to tell you or you could contact your local dealer and remember if you're gold LOC member you get the discount.

Andy

;)

Hey Mat, how far along are they with it

Andy

Mojo, it's an option sold by Lexus as a replacement front grille - utilises a metal black mesh grill which allows increased airflow and has the 'Sport' text written on the front right hand side of the grille

Hey all, it seems TTE in Germany have engineered an IS430, this time with a supercharged 4.3L V8, boasting c400bhp. I want one !! Time to start saving ...

Should be standard with all of them mate, I know when I picked up mine it had a pot in the glove compartment and they told me that it was standard cause I asked specifically if it was based on the color being silver.:smilegrin:

Rodders, if you find somewhere local let me know, I'm on the lookout too.:tumble:

I found a place with stocks Andy - AND they'll do sicount for Gold members - see the post in Gold for details mate.

Mine's already in the car!!!

Star mate, I'm on the way to the Gold forum as soon as I type this mail.

Thanks - You happy with it?

Hey Chris, jumping out of your Lex in Slough can be seriously damaging to your health and wealth, it's notorious for car thieves at the lights so if I were you I'd stay in the car.:smug:

I've had the sport grille since day one on mine and have never had a problem.

Another happy owner. Well I remember that feeling, still feel great when I get in mine each time and yes I can certainly remember the fun trying to find reverse for the first time - I think several of us have had that feeling.
