Near twins 😆

Both my Carbon fibre bonnets are aftermarket Seibons… @ben_harmer32 i cant see why a standard bonnet wouldn’t fit a carbon version same shape same catches, ive my OEM metal bonnet and 2 aftermarket carbon bonnets of which ive had one resprayed into OEM starlight black due to some clear coat damage

Just got my letter on recall this morning… no rush but will get it booked in end of spring into summertime..

Basically you need to speed up a bit mate 😉 and stop driving it like miss daisy to achieve best mpg … 🤣

@BillNick Are you on the Lexus F owners Europe FB group…. Lots of owners in Germany on it, might be worth posting on there

I used to do Elgin, Moray or Aberdeen down to Surrey every 2 weeks 614mls one way with one stop at Carlisle for fuel pee n coffee , Aberdeen to Surrey 7hrs 30 🙈 elgin to Surrey 8hrs 30 best mpg i got was 36.9 and that wasn’t me hanging around (ive always drove it like ive stole it) i have never driven more than a couple of miles in ECO as it just doesnt feel right so so laggy… im sports mode or sports plus with valves opened on exhaust and throttle controller on highest setting when motorways where clear…did a lot of this driving during lockdowns so roads pretty clear

Reeperbahn in Hamburg is a must 🙈 and Eros centre in Bielfeld,

I used to live in Germany in fact spent most of my younger years in germany then in my late teens into my 20s served out in germany for 9yrs… moved back to germany for a brief spell in 2010….. tip for ya ,,,dont mention the war 😉

@Graham Wilkinson as bob said the carpets are rubber backed and molded in pods… this is what they look like out of car… i took mine out to dye them black, (which took a few days and coats of dye 🙈) not a job id ever do again 😂

I had water ingress into boot which use to fill up the OSR storage hole, intially i thought it was coming in via osr taillight as thats where it was collecting in the storage hole below the light….eventually cured the problem by cleaning off old sealant and putting a line of new sealant just below rear window (marked up red in pic) worked a treat and never had a problem afterwards… not saying this is your problem but worth a look

😂 yeah same goes for black RCFs 👍🏻 i intially was going to change out my yellow stuff due to dust, but once they are bedded in and a bit of use they aren’t too bad, your first few days youll be cursing the amount of dust they produce but it calms down a bit afterwards, shows up a bit more on my alloys as they’re all black

I concur with the yellow stuff being more track related and dusty but not as dusty as OEM and no squeal ….

This was my 4ltr gt-l soarer about 10yrs ago , loved it when i had it, would i get another one…..nahhhhhh

This was a charity car rally and the 4x4 was doodling so we all over took it, this was the back road towards Loch Ness we then all regrouped at a hotel in Glen Coe for a bit of lunch and a photo shoot opportunity 👍🏻….. i won best performance lexus at the rally ok so i was the only lexus but I’ll take the win 😂

During lockdown, i basically had the M25 to myself in the F for my fortnightly travel up to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 aberdeen and Elgin….kinda peeved when lockdown finished 😂…if the is a lexus meet/tour I’ll join in if it gets up my way,….. if it gets up to Scotland i highly recommend Glen Coe route… did that a month or so back… gorgeous scenery and done parts of the NC500 in the F numerous times…(helps that i live up that way 😂)

The infotainment/sat nav systems on the lexus models are the Achilles heals … for the past 21yrs ive had a lexus and every single one the systems has been poor, against other manufacturers systems…. Ive had LS 400s 430 and the 600hL is200 is300h GS450 SC430 RX450 and RCF and my old Toyota soarer 4.0 GTL which was a 93 reg had a better system in it than 80% of the above cars ive had….. they need to catch up with the competition

Ive the apexi throttle control on mine and im more than pleased with its functions, wouldn’t be without it 👍🏻

Bosch on all 3 of mine RCF NX and Navara, Bosch blades on F have been on car for nye on 3yrs and 50k miles and still perform 100%

Wrong person…..ive a cat back valvetronic ARMYTRIX system fitted…over 3 yrs since i got it done

@Blackbeard, ive bought and installed aftermarket Carbon fibre siebon bonnets (extra vented ones), and rear wing and artisan C/fibre wing inserts, all n all a bit costly bonnet was £1500 and i bought 2 of them 😂 and the rear spoiler was £650 and wing inserts where £750, ive since had one of my C/F bonnets resprayed to same colour as car due to a bit of heat damage to clear coat that happened awhile back, basically id had a good run in car and washed it prior to parking it up at work for a week whilst i went away and put a 4 layered soft waterproof vented cover on and the heat and water from washing steam cooked the bonnet.. see photos, too much hassle to try and sort it so bought a new replacement and just the other week got it painted OEM starlight black… I’ll put up some photos (ps red grill vent inserts match interior but unsure. As wether to leave them red or go back to black…will wait n see when i fit it all onto car other pics just to show c/f wing inserts and c/f spoiler and 2nd c/f bonnet, i did contemplate c/f wrapping roof but non matched the real c/f products i had

Yep mines got a recall, that’ll be a nice 4hr drive to nearest lexus dealership then 😆 the joys of living so far up north is that i get a nice long run to lexus Edinburgh or Glasgow…

3 and a half hours drive south for me 😂 @Blackbeard yep re the SC, i dont like them OEM standard so highly modified mine, but after getting the RC F i didnt use the SC even on a bright hot sunny day…so got rid

Who’s Yuan 🤷‍♂️ is this Juans twin 😉
