On a related note, I recently saw this article; http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/07/aristo-v300-built-for-street-action/ A bit too low for my liking but looks well otherwise.

^ +1 to that, fair made me chuckle. Such a perfect description.

Anyone on here? - Oxford https://www.instagram.com/p/BWWwuwDA0Rt/ The car looks very, very clean and shiny

Well done, you've now got yourself one very shiny Lexus 👍 What's happened to the window trim?

Jeepers, £400 for a fitted OEM replacement! Well done working out a much cheaper alternative

Now you're teasing us! ...or is that what you'd like to pay?

Hey, that price is getting tempting. Maybe you should wait a bit longer and their price will keep dropping!

I may look into what can be done with the logo, will get my seamstress to look it over...

Now I'm at my PC, Toyota part# PW30600001. Let me know what you find out...

Hi Andrew, glad to hear that you're enjoying your car. 1) I could do with a holder too. I've seen versions that replace the grab handle but haven't sourced anything yet, I tuck my case in the glove box for now. 2) I had a look at my clock setting and within the Info button I see an Adjust Clock option top right. However mine doesn't give an option to change the display between 12/24hr. I can't see the option in the manual either, online copies here; https://carmanuals2.com/brand/lexus/gs450h-2008-1890 4) Individual TPMS can be around £100 each but Richard recently found a garage in Leicester that would supply/fit them for around half that price. So you can hunt around for a more cost effective set. Sensors are coded to the vehicle, so when you swap to your winter set you'll need to reprogram the car to read these sensors. Some folks remove them from the tyres completely, pop the sensors in a pressured box and keep it in the boot - which stops the warning light on the dash. FYI: TPMS errors aren't an MOT failure for an '08 car. 7) beware the OEM maps come several different disks which I didn't like as travelling on the continent would have been fiddly. This may not be an issue if you only intend to drive in Blighty. Cheers, Lee

@dougie175 I can't copy the Toyota part# but here the ad http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222351628132

Me too, the fabric is really heavy duty. Free delivery too ;) I also saw a similar one by Toyota but it was twice the price.

@dougie175, the bags are generic across models. Here's the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263068408736

The only drawback is that it has an Audi logo on the side! But its good quality and was only £18.

Well done, your car is shedding water really well. Looks great too.

Also found a great heavy duty bag to store the rack.

Managed to fit some 3M tape and a roof rack before the heavens opened this evening. It'll allow me to get back on the bike and hit some nice trails.

Picked up a few products at lunchtime, mainly to replace my duff lance. Looking forward to trying Purity X via the lance.

Ah okay, gotchya (eyes open now!) I hadn't looked through all the guides listed online but know from previous cars that the service manuals are somewhat prized by manufacturers/dealers.

I don't mean to rain on your parade but aren't all the manuals available online i.e. https://carmanuals2.com/brand/lexus A well timed thread tho as I've just been looking for some info on my car.

Hmmm, I had a look at my clock setting and within the Info button I see an Adjust Clock option top right. However mine doesn't give an option to change the display between 12/24hr. I can't see the option in the manual either.

What a great colour, good choice. Enjoy your new ride.

Wow, what great pic's...did you take them yourself? Your car is pretty slick too btw Enjoy.
