UPDATE

I managed to get to the bottom of why I cannot get hold of an 'F' type grille insert for my car.

I did not know that the 250-C (convertible) which is the model I own, has a different design grille for that particular model!

I have now been able to source the correct fitment from an American supplier.

Thanks for all your help, and taking the time to look.

Thanks for taking the time to get the measurements stevet!

Can any of you lucky isf owners who have your car handy measure accurately the length top and bottom and height at the centre of your inner grill.??I want to see if its a different to my standard and by how much....

I know this is an old thread, but I would also like the dimentions of the 'F' grille insert, I am getting nowhere fast trying to source a grille for my 2010 IS 250!

Went to pick up the grille and it was too big!

Has anyone got the dimentions of the 'F' grille for a pre 2008 car please???

Hi Paul

Taking into account the number of veiws this post has had, I guess no one can help you!

Do you live close to a main dealer? It might be worth popping into the servicing department and asking them for advice.

Thanks again Derek!

I saw this one listed on the Bay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-F-2008-2009-2010-GRILLE-w-o-PRE-COLLISION-/190579152843

which looks like it will fit, I have contacted a local main dealer in Ipswich and passed on the part number and I am pleasantly suprised that he can get one in on monday morning for £93 inc VAT!

I have no idea why Lexus Norwich quoted me £643 !!! it just goes to show that main dealers employ some right wazzaks!!!

Ipswich did not want a deposit, and are happy that I will not buy if it does not fit!

Watch this space, I will take some pics and let you all know if it will indeed fit or not as the case may be!

Well that's a pretty decent result. Do let us know how you get on and remember to post some pictures once you have had it fitted. :)

Derek

Thanks Derek, i will post some pics up when I get to fit it.

Thanks again Derek!

AC Lex right here on this forum.

He's at Lexus Poole in Dorset

Thanks Normski!... I will contact him for some advice

There is a USA based seller on eBay with them for $89.99 (£58.72 according to eBay).

Listing is HERE

I've been watching the listing so I know where to get it when I can finally sneak it past my wife......

HTH

Thanks Derek, will this grille fit a 2010 model? apparantly there are 3 versions by year change!

A small dab of black shoe scuff from an applicator should fix the blue stitching problem.

Could anyone maybe give me a contact for a good Lexus main dealer parts man who could help me with my quest?

Give it time...someone may have the answer. :)

Anyone?

Hi Guys

I know from after doing a search that this subject has been done to death, but, I am still trying to source an 'F' type squiggle grille to replace the vertical slatted grille on my 2010 Is 250.

Can anyone help me with part number and price to replace the black plastic inner part of the grille?

I tried my local dealer parts manager, and he tried to tell me it would cost £643 to replace the grille (no i do not have the sensor behind the emblem on the grille!) so I guess he really has no idea!!!!

Can anyone shed some light?

Would this grille fit a 2010 IS250? any pointers most welcomed

The early 250C has known rattle problems in the roof. My 2009 250C was bought from Lexus Guildford and they replaced part of the roof mechanism with a fix kit after complaining about rattles. This together with strategically placed felt tape has removed all rattles for me.

Hi Martin

I have only just found this thread!

My 2010 250C has a few rattles coming from the anti-roll bar area, have you any more information on what the main dealer had to do to resolve your problem? ...and is it a known fault that Lexus will fix for free??

thanks in advance

I have 2010 is250 and they illuminate on mine.

Thanks Carl, i will pop into my local dealer to get it sorted.

Newly aquired 2010 is250C, the auto gear selector graphic on the centre consule does not illuminate at night is this normal?

Use comparison websites to get the best deals - works for me anyway!

Thanks guys, I'll post back and let you know when I pick the car up later this morning. :winky:

There will be a graphic on the front casing saying "Mark Levinson"

Thanks normski

Thanks Rick

I am not picking the car up until tomorrow, so I will post some pics then.

The car does have parking sensors, but I do not know if it has ML audio!...how could I tell it has?... the car is am auto BTW.

Hi all! newbie here!

I have just recently aquired a 250C-SEi spec. Lexus, and i was wondering if someone could help me find what the car has extra over the basic 4 door variant. I have sat-nav and reverse camera, but is there a spec list available for my model?

Forgive the heading, I did mean 250C-SEi
