Deciphering trim codes
Deciphering trim codes
I'm trying to see if we can figure out what the trim code means on the manufacturer's plate at the back of the engine bay of the IS200 (the one with the VIN etc).
As per the picture below, there's a section for the trim code (I think), after the colour code and before the axle and transmission codes, on the bottom line of the plate :
I've had a brief look and can't see this explained elsewhere on the web, but if someone knows where it is then please let me know !
My trim code in the pic above is "LB20". I am assuming this is to do with the interior trim at least, e.g. part leather seats and seat colour. What I was hoping is that if a load of us can check the trim codes and post what the *original* trim of your car was (obviously if you've swapped your interior, e.g. for full leather, your trim code isn't going to match what you've actually got now !).
I was hoping that this might be useful, e.g. *maybe* there's a way to figure out if a model is a "Sport" from this plate, or maybe it's just to do with colour/material of interior trim ?
If you can, please respond using this sort of format:
Trim code : (what it says on your VIN plate)
Model : IS200/300/Sportcross S/SE/Sport etc
Interior : Black/cream cloth/part leather/full leather/etc
ok, this is mine :
Trim code : LB20
Model : IS200 Sport
Interior : Black part leather
Yay for the first reply to my thread ! :thumbup:
