........ya joking

The gold wheels had to go in favour of silver to match the rear lights

I'll do some decent pictures when it's not grim and raining

Mod's i've done include, HKS Hiper(decat), HKS induction kit, MRT -45mm lowering springs, sti v5 replica spoiler, lexus rear lights, colour coded skirts and bumper trim, sti front spoiler, dawes FCR, dawes controller and HKS AFR (not on car yet), uprated clutch (lat perf), lightened billet flywheel.

Mods im gonna do (when credit card cools down), Apexi avc-r (to get rid of dawes), front grill and then relax....or maybe just....

Thanks mate

They are Mille Miglia Evo's, had loads of trouble trying to get the wheels I wanted, people kept telling me they wont fit, then others said they will, but eventually found a guy who fitted some and said they'd be ok with 215/35/18's so I went for it. Gonna get the rear arches rolled though as the lowering makes em rub slightly when hitting a bump mid corner.

James,
Really nice wheels lights etc.., any more pictures available, especially side shots ?. I'm getting some new wheels in January/Feb and have narrowed it down to a set of Evo 5's and Kosei Snipers (17" though, as car used as family transport and I don't think ride would be acceptable on 18's).
What offset are they ? I had a set of Mille M Spiders on my Audi and even after 3 years they looked like new, so I'm well impressed with the quality.
Again, looks really nice, may see you at one of the meets.

bigsinky, easy mate, front indicators; just one easily accessable bolt and they come out.
Rear lights; 5 8mm nuts, they are bonded in with some sticky stuff, if you get a hairdryer on they metal round the light from inside the boot and heat for only bout 10 sec they come out easy as winking mate.

Thumbs up

What a beaut, just when i think that lexus lights are just so bad, some blighter comes along with a silver rex and makes me change my mind. Stunning mags, just whatever you do, don't curb them. Stunning car, James, you must be proud.
