Your engine looks a bit strange... is it an SPI or some such? I have no idea what I mean... I just know its different than mine...
looks like an 8v, if that what SPI is, opose to twin cam mby lol
oops sorry yeah forgot to add its an 8 valve. the 16 valve has 16 valve plastered all over the front f it :p
as with all 200's i think they look especially nice from the side, think once you get some alloys it'll be lookin LOVELY :p as for mods, as I dont MOD mod, I just 'tweak' looks to stop you boot lookin bland get the 25 boot 'plinth' i think its called, it ll go well with you lexus lights, & meshed grille looks loads better than the slatted grilled.

what is a boot 'plinth' ? never heard of that. hopefully getting some 17" put on it soon
just the handle, lol silly name I always thought, the pic on my other post, i think it is a lot nicer than the dull black one, ( i only bought mine cuz the the bulbs went & the holes were churned up, but really glad i did now ) pretty cheap on ebay if your lucky, ( just under £20 ) few members sell them here too, you need security drivers as they kindly told me :p i was stuck for ages without them.


heres an example cheap too ,dont think its chrome, bet it ll go up though other people do colourcode them instead, I spose its personal preferance, just ask see if anyones got a pic of a colour coded one instead.

Not being nasty or anything but those Ultra lights look horrible. Get the ABC ones. Rest of car looks good tho. Maybe some differant alloys next?
gonna colour code them so they'll look a bit better
Don't mind the lights, but not my thing, too common. Nice boom box, strange engine?
Please get rid of those seat covers, too girly, who's are they your birds'? Not nice.

Some nice alloys will make a big difference to the car.

You have to look an idiot for 5 mins im afraid.
Extension lead with hairdryer on the end!
Heat em up, soon come off.


I quite like that colour, steve's is a good example of how it can look when you get more parts colour coded:)

Why not get the ZR seats for sale in the for sale section on here...The guy is asking for a very low price! Would look ace in there, correct colours as well.
