Had the IS200 MOT'ed and fitted LE grille

...it passed!!! No advisories issued! My IS200 is now 9 years old and has 127k on the clock. These cars are built to last.
Also, I fitted a LE grille to my car, which I got for free on LOC (thanks to Eddieblock, Eddie if you read this thanks once again for this). Some pics below:
OEM 3 bar grille (as my car is a 2000 model it orginally came with a 4 bar grille):

Good news with your MOT @127K that is brilliant!!
Had mine done on Friday @ 60K, passed with HIDs, advisory note for the tyre valves slightly perished
hock: Tyre wear in 1 year for about 10K miles was 1mm all roundhock: All tyre wear is even (run at 38psi), which goes to prove that Tony Bones @ WiM knows his stuff.........Cheers Tony!:thumbup1:Keith
That grill is miles better than the OEM one. I've seen one sprayed the same colour as the car and it looked very nice.

parthiban Great news about the MOT too, got mine on Thursday so hope it flies through as well! Actually reminds me I need to swap out my HIDs or I'm going to end up with another set of standard headlight bulbs......Why ? Your HIDs should pass the MoT fine as long as the beam pattern is ok. What has happened before ?

Was fine up until last year, but in last year's MOT the beam pattern with the HIDs didn't pass (they said something about getting a new machine) so they swapped in some standard bulbs to make the car pass.

Should be safer with the smaller independents as they're less likely to buy expensive new machines!
Either way might be a good idea to take along a set of standard bulbs in the glovebox just in case, as it would be better to swap them out rather than risk failing or getting an advisory
