[is200 Newbie]

Spoilers fitted (roof and boot) at the weekend along with a good clean (wash, clay'd and wax'd) has come up all sparkly !! 

[Guest bigbullhead]

Have you got a link for the spoilers

[is200 Newbie]

Its an eBay store - "OEM thing"

I had them on my last car - good quality - nothing wrong with them up to the 5 years I had the last car and a brilliant paint match

Just searched for "OEM thing" on eBay and no results. Do you not have a link or other name?

There's a few out there - I stuck to the one I had before as I had no issues with it - fitment is very good - application is via 3M adhesive tape. The seller is from Taiwan. Lead time is approx. 3 weeks and expect to pay around £25 on top of the price for duty - Search on eBay for the link below

Just found that seller's ad and according to the Lexus brochure my 250 has a paint code of 1G1 Argento Ice but the seller calls code 1G1 Tungsten Pearl ? Bit off putting! Or is it because the seller is using the names from the US perhaps as none seem to be the same and No Messa Red?

Think that's the way its been done.

You may recall Newbie saying his car was 8R6 and calling it Breakwater Blue. I'm guessing he thought that based on the code in the eBay sellers info.

8R6 in the UK brochure is Brechin Slate

Those are neither the US nor UK paint names - maybe they are the Chinese or Japanese market names?

My car, for example, is 6U3 - Sargasso Green in UK, Desert Sage Metallic in USA, Midnight Green Mica (above), also  Mid Green and Medium Green Pearl on various web sites. Just goes to show - don't go by paint names - always use the code!

+1 to the above

Use the paint code.

I'm interested to know whether you have to inform your insurance company of the modifications, and if they charge you extra, how much extra? Would be nice to know as potentially its an extra cost to bear in mind.

[DAN@ADRIAN FLUX]

Hi.

Yes you would have to declare these modifications to your insurer. The cost would depend on each individual insurers terms.

Regards,

Dan.

I had asked this prior to purchase and it has had no effect on the policy at all. I done the same with the last car with the same notification. Seems if you let them know it is fine ? Guess it would be a different story if these were expensive additions...

Pretty comprehensive list of paint codes ( Mostly IS like it states)

 

[JamieG4454]

I baught a boot spoiler from an eBay seller cr2cuk7. it unpainted but is nice and sturdy, fits good, and comes with mounting bolts! 

[Texas]

'Bolts'....Please don't tell me you're gonna be getting your drill out!!!!

paul m.

[JamieG4454]

I shal be.its rather simple.

[is200 Newbie]

The ones I had on this one and previous used 3M adhesive tape (double sided) and the last ones were on the car for 5 years, no movement. I would be wary on drilling the boot unless you have a very good sealer to apply

[is200 Newbie]

Also, let your insurer know about the spoilers - shouldn't be any cost but worth it in the long run.
