Have to say those fastenings under the bonnet are a very nice touch.

I did the same on my last car which was a celica GT, easy to do as well and saves the hassle of breaking those clips

you’ll need a 9mm metal drill bit as well to make the holes a bit bigger for the rivnuts to fit.

I'm thinking of doing some mods to my IS250 but would like to know how much extra was your insurance for those you've made so far.

No extra cost mate, because they’re not performance modifications, just a spoiler and splitters, but check with your insurer first to make sure

New pedals just came in the post, hope they fit!

[Matt1280]

Pedals fit!!!

Ok thanks. I think you're very lucky if your insurer doesn't up the price for these mods, in my experience most do.

I’m with green light who are really good with that kind of thing

Nice touch,out of curiosity where did you order them from and roughly what did they cost
