Thanks guys!

All I have left to do is to remove the wonky Lexus badging at the rear and then replace with the proper emblems - I've got the Aristo badge waiting, but I'd forgotten the Toyota one so I'm just wondering whether to ditch the lot and get the black chrome Grazio emblems instead as I really like those!

Think it needs lowering a bit more, going to see what I can get away with when I get the geometry done soon.

:lol: Yeah that badge is crooked, it's been doing my head in for ages but I just never got around to fixing it - I've got the Aristo badge sat here so I might just throw that on for now, that will make the backend look much better indeed

:lol:

Definitely inside, I'd removed all the interior and hoovered everything, it looked pretty clean but the flash tells a different story

As for the height it's on coilovers so hoping to get it dropped a bit more when I get the geometry done, get it a bit lower but still not too bad so that it will eat tyres!
