    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing apart from usual wear and tear and scheduled services. Exhaust went but was replaced at kwik fit with a very Janspeed stainless steel one. highly recommended - if you like the noise...

    The Janspeed s/s exhaust. Helps give the car the oomph the styling needs. As well as some Lexus rear lights bought cheap off ebay.
