parthiban Really? Did he justify how that could cost £4-500 to repair as it doesn't look possible?
not sure how he would do that? he said re spray the bumper as its scratched and stuff,
replace the wing and spray it, and repair the drivers side door rather then replace.
cant understand how he would even do that that with 500 quid? maybe he knows someone? he's been at this for a few years now buying accident cars repairing them and selling them on (many of my other cousins have bought cars from him and have had them for years without any problems)
and for the ones which did have problems they just took it back to him and he gave a refund

2002 '02' IS200 SE Auto - DVD Satnav with Voice Activation - [COLOR="Blue"]Strathcaron Blue - Parking Sensors - 5000K HIDs with Anti-Glare Bulbs - PIAA 6500K Main Beams - LED Sidelights - Mirror/Sunroof Closure - TTE Styling Kit - 18" Styling Kit Alloys with nitrogen filled Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Tyres - Bluetouch Multimedia Kit - Gromaudio AUX in - Black painted calipers with silver Lexus decals - 12 LED Dome Light - 96 LED Boot Light - Stainless Steel Sport Sill Plates - PIAA Silicone Wipers[/COLOR]
To me just the painting required would cost £500, and a new set of headlights is at least £100 isn't it?

Mods:...WIM geometry setup & fine tune, K&N Air filter, Stainless steel A/C rings, Brodit phone kit, Stainless steel clock surround, B&M Shortshifter & LED Domelight, Maplight & Sun Visors, OEM Chrome exhaust tip, OEM rubber bootliner, Fan type windscreen washer jets, LS430 Side repeaters, OEM LE grille, OEM cargo net, Front OEM armrest
As his cousin is in the trade (as I read it?), he can probably get replacement parts etc at trade prices bringing the repair costs down by a fair bit?
