Car when I bought it:
First minor changes were removing the stickers in the rear windows, and the stickers next to the wheel arches.
Window Tints - 30th July 07
Limo window tints to the rear windows.
New Ashtray, Side Reps- 29th July 08
The ashtray had lost its hinges and a new one was bought and replaced.
Smoke side repeaters replaced the clear ones.
Debaged - 4th August 08
Badges on the back and the side sports badges were removed.
Lights changed - 6th August 08
Lexus lights were changed for the original ones (red).
In the end of August the standard rear wiper was taken off, and replaced with a Fiat Weekender.
At the start of September the headlights were replaced with depos (Euro ones though - got them cheap).
Next main changes took place during September. V6 breaks were put on the front, painting the calipers blue. Was trying to get Compomotive MOs but they proved too hard to find the right price, so I settled with Softstars, which happened to be on a “62%” sale at the time from LMF. Koni shocks were fitted on the hardest setting. The standard sports seats were taken out and leather seats were put in (front and back).This is how the car looks now:
Wind Deflectors - 5th Oct 07
MOT - 16th Oct 07
Passed, after replacing Lambda, and headlights also failed, but he didnt bother about them
Some new pics - 17th Oct 07
New Windscreen - 25th Feb 08

Yep its 3.5".
Very happy with it
I was thinking about mudflaps a while ago, but was not sure what to get. I like the Opel / GM ones. But my whole car is griffin logos.
Uploading new pics of exhaust now, dont like people seeing it dirty so went and washed the car

Some transformation!
If i was being picky i'd say the tail pipe looked a little too big.
But love the car!
