Wayne Picked up my new alloys, need to get them powder coated, can't decide whether white, black or grey...
What style did you go for mate?

Moley Removed front wheel hub because the bearing was knackered and replaced with new one also had to cut off front drop link because that was the only way to get it off. This was on my C2
Jobs like that always throw up little problems.

Compomotive MO1881, they were cheap, brand new and a **** sight better looking then the Dotz that came with my car! I can't decide on the colour though (I have 2 greys, and 1 black and 1 white). Greys are on the rear now and they look a little lost, white I think would look good and of course black and yellow always go well together!

I collected it from the insurance company repair centre on Friday afternoon (looks fantastic now, can thoroughly recommend Elite-Motors in Northampton for bodywork) with what I thought was a flat battery. I needed to MOT the car, so I'd booked it in at Lexus Manchester at 8.30 on Saturday, which meant a 5AM start. Unfortunately, as it later transpired, the battery was a bit deader than I thought. I could speculate as to the cause, but needless to say it was quite literally cooked.
Some jump leads and a petrol stop on the M6 toll services (cheers mate with the car transporter) I was back on the road and mate it to the MOT. A new battery, McDonald's breakfast and a few hours later it sailed through the MOT.
I've booked the car in for a paint correction detail with our very own Dan_Tirusm0 at the end of March, so it will be looking like it just rolled out of the factory very soon.
I almost bought an IS300h yesterday after a test drive, really fantastic cars and an order of magnitude more comfortable than the IS250 (which is good to begin with). The only thing that stopped me is the news that work are providing a car in the new financial year. I'm still quite tempted to trade up to a 300h anyway, as it really was lovely to drive.

17-01-2023, 02:51 AM #1,195Yesterday was a long day for the IS250. It's not had a good time recently, as some nice kind person rear-ended me in December. I've also got new callipers, discs and EBC redstuff pads on the car. Matt helped me out with a 100k service at the end of last year too; car is really nice to drive now though.

I had these on my IS200 looked great...
I did them in technic grey.

Just a bolt on back box... But it's very similar to a HKS super dragger
