Pictures After Upgrades

Finally remembered to take a few photos of my car after I had LED running lights fitted, alloys painted black and brakes painted red.

That looks lovely! Good job. I'd love one of those SC430s to go with my LS400. Summer's coming, allegedly, too.

Looks lovely.

I've always been put off retracting hardtops by the many tales of incurable leaks, and mangled mechanisms.

I'd guess that Lexus will not have these problems though?

That looks very nice :) I've heard on the grapevine that Sunday is meant to be awesome day for being roofless :)

I have never heard those tales as most of the cars that have them originally were Mercs and Lexus. I know a lot of cheaper models now have them so maybe its those. Mine works like a dream and is very easy to care for.

Yes, I thought Lexus would be fine.

I went to British Car Auctions looking for a Mazda MX5, and stumbled across a nearly new, top of the range Ford Focus CC in a lovely gold colour with cream leather.

It was struggling to make £10k, and I was sorely tempted, so hit the internet for info.

That was when I first came across the horror stories about leaking tops that couldn't be cured, despite numerous dealer attempts, and Ford actually taking some cars back - needless to say, I kept my wallet closed until I found a nice MX5.
