Does anyone know or remember what year LennyLexus's (from the other side) IS is/was? and what year did they do the chrome tipped back box not the cover but the tip you can polish up?

Cheers.

Think it is a 2001 but not 100% on that, raz has got a custom made dual exit on it now, so may still have the original zorst, he's not really been around for a while, but if you want me to find out I will drop him a line

It's definitely around 2001 - I think it was at the same point that the major upgrade happened but things like the stereo changed just before that so can't be absolutely certain.

It should be fairly obvious though I think if it is a chrome one, I barely clean mine and it looks pretty decent Smile

You should never use wire wool on chrome, you'll just take the chrome layer off and then be left with bare metal, which will be shiny but not for long!! Then your chrome thing will end up looking like my crappy wheel nuts.

Some scourers are alright, but it depends on how abrasive they are. Obviously not brillo pads! It depends what you're cleaning as well - chrome should only ever be cleaned with chrome cleaners as it's a thin layer on top of the metal. Autosol is plenty abrasive enough for stainless.

Marsdendean ^^ Wire wool removed most of my dirt, as it had not been cleaned in 5 years, then then washed the final bits off! Worked for me!
