Rcf/Gsf Spare Wheel Singapore

[Big Rat]

Now I’ve bored you all senseless about my time away and handbags and so on.......

I was granted some time to myself in Singapore to go to the Lexus Boutique dealership, amazing place  makes ours in the Uk feel and look like Arthur Daley’s lot.

The full range of cars on view in one location including all the ‘F’ cars and the models we don’t get was really interesting, including the huge selection of TRD parts for Lexus and Toyota models.

Got a tour of the workshops and body repair areas again puts us to shame in some ways and the attention to detail is great to see.

I posted a thread recently about the Lfa crash out here it’s being repaired by them apparently the bill has past £140k already😳, no photos allowed in these areas.

Anyway I’ve made enqs about the spare wheel situation for the Gsf and the RcF, as they are fitted to them here......

But Lexus will not supply them to the dealerships out of the given market, there is not even a part number on the wheel... I looked !

And Lexus blank out the part on the parts store image finder !

The specs of the car are a little different to ours and so is the price, an Rcf here is £165k... with £20k tax on top new......🤓

A great hour was spent chatting to people there including a couple of owners, only 5 Rcf’s here plus 1 Carbon, yes @Flytvr it’s White, and only 2 Gsf’s both Blue.

Great pics and info Paul! Singapore is probably one of the most expensive places in the world to own a car. The government wants everyone to use public transport..

You deserve a medal for all the effort you put in to  benefit other forum members. You are  a credit to LOC which would be rather tumbleweed like without your presence.

White RC-F Carbon eh? Never seen one 😀

Nice looking spare wheel👍🏻

Thanks for trying re the spare wheel and looks like an interesting place to visit.

Mo is clearly a very understanding lady. I can just imagine the look on my wife’s face if I told her I was going to a Lexus dealer on our holiday 😉😆

She’s glad of the piece and quiet.

@Bluethunder Nean How right you are Matey mind you the MRT in Singapore is very good..... and inexpensive...... and on time..... and safe...... and the motorist is paying for it

Great write up!

I actually got rid of my spare and put a trunk liner from a GS350 instead.

 

Here's a video before and after

...I find it a look of strained patience, combined with pity...😂

@mrfunex Matey great reply, you had it wet we walked from the MRT to the dealer not far but it was 43 degrees and the humidity was off the scale 😅

But when Mrs Rat stood by the Rcf she was so happy........

Ok maybe not...... 😂

Yes Lexus UK seems to have solved you issue, now you can spec. 2018 RC-F with all 4 spare wheels! 😆

[Big Rat]

@Linas.P Linas you are just so cruel us poor Rcf/Gsf owners have been sold short by Lexus while you Is blokes have your spare..... and you just want to rub salt into our wounds.......

Don’t worry. @chunkeymonkey now has a BMW estate and lots of room to carry things. Catch my drift @Big Rat?

Not at all mate... you can borrow mine any time you like! I will not be missing it...

Additionally, I promise - if I ever get standard 2018 RC-F I will donate all 4 spare wheels from it to forum members:

..and get a proper set of these myself:
