Hello,

I own a ls600hl with rsr package, with black leather interior.

Controversial maybe, but I love the ambient LED lighting on the latest Audi, Merc and other big German cars.

I especially like light blue or light purple colours. I personally think will give a more relaxed experience at night for me.

So it would be the dash, door cards, but not sure about the footwells though.

There is an company who do this for a living in Bolton, so not far away.

Has anyone done this on their Lexus? If so any pics please.

My worry is if affects Battery life and also it needs to fit and look good, not tacky!

you've bought an as new originally £110k car and even being a few years old now there's nothing needs upgrading to anything that some might consider even remotely " tacky "

Contentment is often blissful !

Sounds like a lovely car and great value compared to today's modern money pits.

Just a note of caution; if you are going to Bolton, be careful, there's a lot of "not rights" living there. It's a feral wild west, just have a look at the Bolton evening news now and again🤠

AMalc valid points!

I personally like the feel of it, am still in two minds.

The car is standard and has everything I need, the only  other thing will be the addition of a dashcam front and back.

Yes I agree, these guys gave been doing it a while.

When I take my other car to a specialist garage that os in Kearsley, sometimes I look around and something standsout..ME, but I never judge a book by it covers, but you are right always take a cautious approach, not everyone has good intentions like us.

Sorted. I will be there on Friday. 39 mins of appreciation of their shell suits followed by 3o mins of worship over their choice of trainer. 6 will refuse to leave their house in future. 6 will be in A&E in a catatonic state characterised by a glazed look in the eyes. 6 will be recruited to Boring Men out of hero worship. Bolton will have been Bored.

Very sensible  - but OMG Kearsley! That's near Farnworth! That's even worse than Bolton. Be very careful.

 

BYW My parents lived in Farnworth and I was there for a few years so I know.😧

There's a very good Rolls and Bentley garage on the road leading to Stoneclough. I met the owner once and he is a very cautious fellow - quite right too.

Yes that is the garage I go to Bowling Ryan, my other car is a Bentley Continrntal Gt and the owner, the nice man is John Bowling.

I leave my car with them and then walk to the Centre and like I said its a bit different!!

I wouldn't go with "overawed", over IQ certainly, and out of there definitely. Everytime I see them my mind goes "where is a good war when you need one".

You are so brave to take that walk. I haven't dared get out of the double locked car when in Farnworth. Another note of caution: don't drive through Little Lever in the evenings. They like to throw bricks at cars.

Don't even think of going near Little Hulton.

There are some nice places left but even Smithills hall got a bad spate of vandalism this week. I really don't know the answer because of the lack of police and bad parenting. What else can you do?😞

I suppose it's a question of communication. Speak their language, so never leave home without one of these.

Whoever connected me to image creator may end up wishing they hadn't.

Am OK, as I mind my own business. You can get difficult people anywhere, luckily it is always the small minority.

Also I do agree that some areas especially at night, you have to careful due to drug dealing etc.

Main thing is live your life how you want it and have a good heart.

Excellent choice - every car should be so equipped.

And judging from the rest of the posts in this thread, they’ll be immediately providing vital evidence should you even be bold enough to go for a local drive!

Thanks!!

Hopefully the Lexus is understated (but elegant) and will not attract any attention, just need to make sure I play Andrei Bocelli, rather than Gangsters paradise.lol

Socially this malevolence has occurred forever from time to time and place to place …… even in blissfully quiet parts of Kent where I live …… complaining to the parents often resulted in a thrashing ……. Just as their parents gave  to them ……. and onwards it goes eh ! 
 

what’s the answer one asks …… HeadMaster at my school caning boys never did us any harm ……. it seems … 

A discussion for another time eh ! 

Back to cars now and a blissful Ls600 not being in temptations way for nutters attention 👍

Looking at the general dimensions of the LS600 for the first time for some reason I immediately thought of the B25. So much room, so very many options for mounting something a tad more vigorous than a dashcam.

See what I mean.

Andrea Bocelli…another excellent choice, Niaz!

Here’s a selection of solos and duets that should do the trick.

Mind you, I recall a time in Florence when every street busker would be having a shot at ‘Time to say goodbye’ with varying degrees of success!  And that often proved an incentive to be somewhere else.

Stephen - Who is that holding the gun?... It's not......is it?   ..... No it can't be? He doesn't look like he comes from Preston.

He does look a bit like some Lexus drivers though.🤔👹

Now you know why my favourite feature on the SC 430 (after the hood) is the retractable steering wheel. 😉

Yes old school was best.

I think principles have gone out of the window, where you work hard and then purchase something nice with your hard earned money.

Nowadays some people think it's their right to get things without working for them!
