Title: Swedish Is200 Sport
Description: My pursuit of perfection
p.lindblom - November 27, 2008 09:01 AM (GMT)
Hello mates,
I’m a new member from the opposite side of the earth and I’ve been a Lexus IS200 owner for about a year. If there were LHD Altezzas I would probably go for one of those, but the Lexus will do for now. Since I bought the car I’ve upgraded it quite a lot, but as most of the upgrades are OEM parts it’s hard to see what’s changed. If you are interested in what I’ve done with the car, please follow the shortcut links below.
Most of it is copied from my Swedish project thread and I’ve simply chosen to remove all the text until I have managed to translate it all. If you want info on any of my upgrades, please feel free to ask me.
Cheers

Thanks mateys :)
This winter I will replace my bonnet with a CF OEM one from Seibon. It will be partly painted in Diamond white pearl along with the rest of the car. On saturday I will pick up my new TRD rear skirt and hopefully some interior components.
I'm currently looking for a Legana front bumper - 08164-53010-B0
The local Toyota dealer recently gave me a quote... $5500 (AUD). That's just silly, I know Japanparts.com sell these bumpers for $1700 (AUD) but what about the Toyota dealers over there? Or even better, How much do Toyota Japan charge?
I've understood that the Legana bumpers are nearly impossible to find second hand, or am I wrong?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes, Genuine Legana front bars are rare second hand items and expensive new items :) Good luck with your search.
