Gutted to hear of your windscreen Brett.
Was nice to meet up with on Sunday at Simply Jap.
It’s a stunning car you have and deserved all its attention it has lavished on it.

Thanks Ben - really need to get some video/pics on here of your RCF, it's a stunner! Was nice to meet up with on Sunday at Simply Jap.

Update:
Windscreen was finally sorted a couple of weeks ago, took a long time but it's sorted!
Despite initially thinking the job was top class, I've since found the rubber on the firewall is now torn at one end, and the drivers side windscreen trim has a tendancy to pop up. Not ideal!
I think I'll wait until it's due the first service and ask Lexus to check/fix both items - will also see if they can sort out the boulder damage to the bonnet. If it was just a couple of chips I'd be happy to leave it, but the dent pisses me off!
Will be going for it's last outing for awhile on Saturday to the F club meet, then into storage as the new garage is finally getting built now! (..and I'm planning to make it as nice as possible!)

A few pics from the F-club meet below, some mine - some from the other members. 
Car is now in storage as the garage build is finally underway, hoping to have it constructed before the end of the year - then just need to get the flooring down, electrics in etc etc!
Trawling the internet and flea markets for signs etc to go in there, found some genuine Lexus dealer signs on eBay...but they are in Scotland!

I hate having Windscreens replaced. They never fit genuine ones and never do as good a job as the factory, probably because the trims are not designed to come off and go back on, atleast not without replacing the fastening hardware, which they never do.
Last one I had done was on a Transporter. Trims not flush, loads of condensation that never happened before, more road noise, grr.

I've seen in the USA that some cars had loose A pillar trim from the factory, which seems very un-Lexus!

She's home after being in storage while the garage got built 
Only a short, 20min shakedown cruise home - but no issues whatsoever.
I've missed her!
Nice garage! Did you get the LC painted dark brown while it was away Only a short, 20min shakedown cruise home - but no issues whatsoever.
