WOW! Guess my '07 must be really rare because it is Black Saphire Pearl with Ecru interior! Sooo...they made at least one.

SC's are pretty rare in the UK, but most are silver or Montrose Blue as mine is. I think it is Indigo Ink Pearl in the US. I have seen a couple with Ecru, but mine is Helmsdale (black).
Megans on the way from LSin75075 so will be lower soon.

Favor please.

Can you please take a close up shot of the side repeaters (different angles)? I would like to install them on my SC. I have some Japan Soarer pics but nothing close up so I can mount it like the original. I do not understand why they do not install them here in the US. But a lot of the European and some other Japanese car makers, the side repeater is standard.

Hi Mandy

No, it's indigo Ink Pearl (Montrose Blue).

Best I can do at the moment until the weather here lets me get her out again. I will take some close ups for you next time.

Thanks a lot. This is great. When you get another chance, please take some more pics.

I am trying to figure out what type of side repeater was installed. I actually installed side repeaters on my RX, too. For the RX330 I bought the side repeaters in Asia so I was sure it was the right lamp assy. Looking at this picture, they look the same as my RX330.

Thanks again.

Will44,

Here's a picture on my RX with the side repeater installed.

BTW I like your rims.

What do you call the 2 red lamp assy in the rear bumper? What are they for?

They are fog lights, unfortunately law over here.
I have never actually put them on, so they seem pointless and spoil the look of the car.

Your exhaust tips are definitely different from ours (at least on mine). They actually look better. How much do you pay for a "vanity" plate like yours per year?

Wil44, your exhaust tips are nice! But those wheels are to kill for. Love the!! What are they called, who makes them and are they from your side or our side of the pond? And last but not least what size? She'll look sweet once you get her down.

I have a custom made cat back exhaust and chose the tails as I thought they looked a little more aggressive.

In the UK you can buy a 'Personal Registration Number' outright and pay the normal Road Fund Licence every year. The RFL ranges in cost depending on how 'green' your car is. The SC is at the top end as it's CO2 emission is high.
