Ahh I see you are also a man of culture 😆

Reminds me of one that was a 19 reg and someone on here was given the line 'special order by managing director, last off the line from Japan with all the options on' - too much funny 😛 I can see that line resurfacing or some other nonsense. I love a risk free bet, so a plummet into the 40k range please!

Bad luck with the wheel nut!! Had 2 locking wheels nuts strip on the wifes NX, too many dugga duggas by Lexus dealership as they were last ones to touch wheels, they were brilliant though and replaced them without hesitation. Wheels look wayyy better, just get it lowered and that'll finish the look off nicely. Take the wheels off, clean them and ceramic coat them, make your life easier whilst you have the chance on fresh paint!!

Nah I was just stupid and put my foot on the brake without thinking when the caliper was off the disc and pop goes the weasel, wrote a thread about having a laugh at my misfortune 😆 I'll have a looky this week when the wheels come off for some cleaning therapy and let you know!

Sorry dude, totally forgot you were coming! Umm I actually don't know, Rob lives like 5mins from me (despite having never met ha!) so was going to open it up to him. Will keep you in the loop 🙂

Just checked with them, the 'IS Silver' doesn't even have a colour code haha!

Meeeee and had the saga where I put my foot on the brake and popped a piston out the rear caliper 🤣 The F is due for a wheels off clean in the coming week, so I can certainly have a proper look for you. I believe some come coated and others don't, there was a discussion on here somewhere but cannot remember how long ago. Maybe some keyword searching of autodoc, brembo etc may yield some results?! Is yours bad?

May the odds be ever in your favour 😉

Yeah 9:15am was the time. I'll be there on the dot, only 20ish mins away! @Rob RCF fancy a pre-meet and spirited drive down?

So the refurb place I recently went to, used 'Lexus IS silver' and did it by eye, I got all 4 done and they look mega - I could probably ask for the actual colour code they used to make life easier. Unfortunately our wheels don't get a code and every forum I've come across discussing the wheels have said the same, bummer! The wheel basically gets a primer, black base coat, IS Silver top coat.

I would only sell the GS F if I had secured an LFA 🤣, but if I magically had the money for that car, I would guess I should be able to afford both? 🤔 I love my F so much, has come back as my daily for the past 6ish months and it is just everything I want! NA anything is hard to get these days!

Hello, congrats and welcome to becoming an F-er! 😛 Spacers are a good option, 15 or 20mm seem to the go-to's, each to their own! There is another thread titled 'My RC F' or something very similar with a lovely build coming along and sounds like you want to do things pretty similar, might be worth a look if you haven't already! I have never liked those wheels for the car, so a colour change might do them a bit more justice. The exhaust is very much a go to mod as well to really give you some of that NA V8 noise we love so dearly. Youtube and US forums showcase the systems available to you and a few members on here may chip in with their systems!

add £100k+ if you want a RHD one. The LFA is just iconic, unicorn car for me. I am totally aware of the other cars attainable for £750k mark but meh, LFA please! 😛

Also gonna post this on the FB group to see if a few more will come as Hampshire really is full of F cars!

Mine live safely inside the spares draw, years gone by have taught me you can't have the little nice things, so black plastic ones for me 🙂

Everyone has their price!

I love all the nerdy stuff and completely agree to understanding the wizardry behind what we drive each day. But equally, find it down right hilarious that a question about green dust caps could spark such a thread 🤣

It's tough, I love that my F is mega comfy but has that grunt on tap as required, but my LS really is a waft-wagon, rarely drive over 60mph as it is just a relaxing place to be!

Makes mine a bargain at £50k... 🤣

An LFA? 😛

Right on cue! 🤣 I also concur, done a few drives up to the land of Scot from Hampshire and its just a pleasure to drive!

This took a turn in a direction I did not forsee, love it when we get all science-y (albeit warped). Great read guys 😛

Sorry for late reply, been away for 3 weekies and switched everything off! I am still game come rain or shine! 😄

Might squeeze Beaulieu this weekend if I'm a good boy 😛

Away 8-29th I'm afraid 😞
