IS200 Se mk2!!!! - James S - 04-12-2018
Also want to de-badge this one too, although i'd like to hope I can do a better job then last time :blushing:
Could do with a service too, so going to have to get some time set aside to spend on it.
Would like all my bits out the shed fitted for the Feb meet.

Might try the grille on later, depending on how good the kids are LOL!

Just put my grille on, and must say I am impressed. Have put it off because its gray and didn't think it'd suit it. But certainly in this light, it looks wicked.
Going to see if it looks out of place in the morning, and if it does I will spray it black.

That looks great, keep it grey - as you say it matches the wheels. Black will look a bit out of place unless you plan on putting other black bits on the car.
If you spray the front lights grey as well that could look awesome
IS200 Se mk2!!!! - James S - 10-12-2018
That was my plan, but quite like the silver look tbh. Might have the wheels and grille sprayed black. But got bigger things to do first. At the min I think its looking wicked.
I am a bit gutted, the bloke who was going to buy my old car off Co-part, had been in touch and even offered me chance to get my coilovers back for free. But Co-part have messed him about and he decided not to buy it.
So got a lot to shell out now to get it back to how my last one was.

gutting that he got messed about mate i could have done with afew body panels off ur old car lol
grille looks nice but might look different in the light of day
do tell what plans u got set aside for this and will we be able to see any of them at the meet in FEB
IS200 Se mk2!!!! - James S - 10-12-2018
Hmm.... plans are as follows lol!
Big service, with iridium spark plugs, decent oils, K&N filter and coolent.
Get my other bits fitted, ARB's and Exhaust.
Aiming for a crisp clean slightly stanced look.
Need to sort the condensation in the headlight and the front door open/close switches, also there is a crack in the rear light lense, de-badging, and would like clear rear fogs. O and paint calipers.
Moving forward, BC racing coilovers and a LSD (want a standard sport model one, because I do high millage and read some where aftermarket ones need regular servicing.
Got a decent garage that is interested in chipping and mapping once the exhaust/filter/plugs are done.
Would love a supercharger and want to by the running gear off IS200 at a scrap yard and get it all powder coated, but thats going to be next year at the earliest.
IS200 Se mk2!!!! - Lexuspat - 10-12-2018
first point i did have a set of clear rear fogs but sold them only a couple of weeks ago cheap on ebay
and also someone told me chip/map is pointless on is200 as its already near its top without supercharger or turbo
but if im wrong would like to go down this road myself

James which rear lights damaged mate, i have a silver one in one of my sheds that i don't need? i fitted the dark chrome ones on mine a while back?
