RCF with Rising Sun wrap

[BIRMA]

I got bored with the red colour so decided to pep-up the way the car looked.

Thanks, I remember you had an RCf once too. This type of wrap suits the car with all it's angles.
I may even change the colour again in a few years.

Looks great but needs lowering. Just by an inch or so, to look perfect IMO.

Hi, I did, you have a good memory.



I briefly had a GR Yaris recently, but sadly my car had quality issues that Toyota weren't interested in.



I've no idea what's next.

Keep us updated with yours please, it looks great.

You're absolutely spot on. I have been enquiring about some slightly lower springs. I was a bit concerned if the lowering may muck up the active suspension settings, a few people in the USA where they sell loads of them have lowered this model and so far no reported issues. Then again I wonder if it would effect the excellent Lexus Warranty, but it is in my plans to lower the car.

Good choice the Yaris GR, my wife runs a Yaris Hybrid. I did try to convince her that the GR was a really worthwhile upgrade, well you've got to try haven't you.
Must admit for Toyota to have a faulty car surprises me.

What wheels are they? Not originals surely?

Yes, I was also surprised, I was properly gutted as I loved the way it drove.

My wife liked the GR, even though she stalled it a couple of times on her first drive.

I'm just upgrading her car to a Puma now, luckily I persuaded her to have the ST version rather than the Vignale.

I look forward to hearing more about your RCF, and some pics along the way.

They're Vossen Hybrid Forged, never did like the standard wheels much. I thought they may ruin the ride as the are 20 inch with a lower profile but the active suspension in the later cars deals with it nicely.

Have you had a look at the LC 500? might be worth checking out as they seem to be a reasonable price these days for the full fat V8 model.

I'm thinking about an LC500 as a daily. Lovely things.

There are quite a few ex Aston Martin owners on the Lexus forum with LC500's and would never go back. As you can now pick up one for less than £60K even from a main dealer they're not a bad car to at least try. Plus most are very low mileage too.
