Also got moleys rear mud flaps to fit but cannot figure out how they fit???
Karl's Lexus IS200 SE.... - karlp - 19-02-2019
also after some fan washers...

Fan washers you can pick up from Lexus for about £22 :thumbup:
How about stainless steel dials for the dash? Fantastic looking modification and easy enough to fit, even I managed it...

And if you cough up the cash to become an Outlaw, you too become eligible for that most exclusive of mods, the Moley Bars... :wink:
Karl's Lexus IS200 SE.... - karlp - 19-02-2019
pardon my ignorance what are moley bars????
Karl's Lexus IS200 SE.... - DaveEdin - 19-02-2019
Don't worry, it's not a mod very many people will know about, cos they're pretty much exclusive to this club...Moley is a welder by trade, and he makes these for Outlaws when he has time, for a donation to the club funds plus a few quid to cover the P&P. They replace the thin flexy OEM bars with these very tough very strong ones...

Here they are fitted to Ormi's car (They're red, behind the rear ARB)

So as you can see they are a pretty exclusive mod :wink:
