Lexus IS300 Sportcross.
Lexus IS300 Sportcross.
Got it back and we had already known there were a few problems with it:
1) Little hole/push in the front bumper
2) Dent in bumper
3) Hole in the rear light at the top
4) N/S/R Damper dead.
5) Little rip in drivers seat.
But a few days of ownership, some inconsiderate person, scraped the back bumper, which has left a horrible mark, and the rear bumper has been repaired before as you can see that someone has covered it with filler as about 6mm of filler has fallen out.
But the price we got it for really paid for the problems itself, we have booked a spray and repair session for: front bumper repair, rear bumper repair, front wing respray, front bumper respray, bonnet respray, and rear bumper respray, all for wait for it...... £400 which me and my dad thought was very reasonable.
Ok well there is enough info on the car for the moment, now here come the mods.
As soon as the car was home we washed, clayed and and gave the car a meguiars going over.
Then we put the scangauge under the TRC button and heated seat button panel.
We then put some red LED strips in the footwells, hooked into the cigarette lighter light, so will come on when sidelights are switched on.
We painted our calipers yesterday, with white lexus decals on.
We have on order: A sport grille, a couple White LED strips for the front headlights, and some LED bulbs to do a full rear light conversion (Tail/brake, indicators and reverse)
And for all those who will use these :ttiuwp::ttiuwp: we are getting pictures tomorrow, I promise you.
So I will update you tomorrow with pics of the car, the little problems and the mods we have done.
Thanks
