Opinions!
madasahatter replied to kris250's topic in Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club
No my first car was a bmw 520, just be individual dont worry about what people think. They are bland in a word, but they are beautifully put together. Pretty fast but wont break any records, comfy quiet and well specked from the off. When put againt audi bmw and merc. Where the option list is silly. I get lots of compliments on my car, which makes me happy. But its the car i wanted so i dont really care what people say. When i change mine it will be for another lexus. Im in a different age group to you, so i take my hat off to you, in not been a sheep so enjoy your motor mate. You will get more smiles per gallon. -

Alloy Wheel Help
madasahatter replied to Monocle's topic in Lexus IS 250 / Lexus IS 250C Club / Lexus IS 220D & IS 200D Club
I beg to differ john on weight these are twice as light as standard wheels. I run on a softer tyre goodyear and my car is transformed. What you say about rear tyre width is correct for 8.5 rims these are 8j front and rear. Also mine are in metalic anthrasite and they come with black centres. If you buy silver the writing on the outer edge is in black. { Team Dynamics Motorsport } look really nice. But as you say each to there own. -

They do these wheels in any colour, very easy to clean behind the spokes. These are cast and used in british touring cars. Cheapest i seen delivered next day. all the bolts are what i bought. You get some with them and Spigot rings, i didnt like the bolts. Also they dont do locking wheel nuts -

Your paint code is 1G1 Argento Silver or Tungston Pearl. Same colour 2 different names. I will be busy later detailing a Vauxhall Meriva of all things, so wont be able to answer any more questions. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fiber-Lexus-IS250-IS350-W-Type-Boot-Trunk-Rear-Spoiler-Wing-/172274058870?hash=item281c558676:g:EowAAOSwbqpT7cOP http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fiber-Rear-Roof-Spoiler-Wing-Lip-Kit-Fit-for-Lexus-IS-F-IS250-IS350-14-15-/252388885335?hash=item3ac38cc357:g:DeoAAOSwdV1XNhb4 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-IS250-LED-INTERIOR-KIT-INTERIOR-LIGHTS-BULBS-LED-KIT-/260863230811?hash=item3cbca9035b:m:m6bGFK4tkJ5m4pf_mHH6yrQ

I have led bulbs inside the car, you can buy kits off ebay does all the interior lights. Number plate are led i believe so are rear outer bulbs. There are loads of spoilers on ebay roof, boot lip painted or unpainted. There is a trd one on which is a larger spoiler also. Real carbon fibre as well. I know people who have bought the painted ones, for different model cars. And they are a brilliant finish and match for existing colour. Red is an exception and also pearl white. Is yours the 1G1 silver really light if so same colour as mine. I just bought some Team Dynamic 1.2 in Anthrasite. Absolutely transformed the car. Now getting 27 around town in pwr mode. Also fitted new Goodyear F1 all round quiet is an understatement. Are your wheels scabby its a known fault with them? Crap materials i bought 4 new ones when i purchased the car. They are heavy wheels thats for sure. Car should have had fuel pressure sensor gasket, and there is an airbag recall at the moment all free i might add. https://forms.toyota.co.uk/lexus-recall-checker. Just put your reg in.

Yes will do an up and down then centre when started in the dark. They have no headlight adjuster in the car, which is also a give away. Strange no full history have you been on gov.com history search. -
