'ut ow!

You've got just minutes before my namesake, Neil from 'Chav' Labs, comes and hunts you down!

This guy sells them in England (on EBay), but don't know any actual manufacturers.

Its a well discussed subject whether this would 'improve' the car?

LOL :-)

Nice one! I too am a bit narked by the word Lexus used in relation to these light clusters, surely they are only Lexus lights if they actually come from, or are made by Lexus! ;-)

The answer to that Mike is none. There is no commonality between any Lexus (Toyota) model and the MGF/TF.

The term "Lexus" is being used as a generic term to refer to a particular style of light: the chrome tail lamp with jewel effect lamps set within them. These are available from a number of sources, from eBay to the online companies that JW lists.

Hopefully one of these will deliver to Australia for reasonable money!

Good luck with your search - you'll have one very unique car there if you do fit them! :o)

Yeah, that's a good one: people do tend to forget what the Lexus part stands for. I must be getting old (only joking).

Please please forgive me when you live in the ar*e end of the world like we do and
have to import or order oil filter sometimes, or wait a week for any spare part or accessories curiosity got the better of me will never do it again. my car is dead standard except for some stainless rollbars.

<<surely they are only Lexus lights if they actually come from, or are made by Lexus!>>

They started off being called 'lexus style' lights but then most people objected on the grounds that those two words really shouldn't appear in the same sentence.

LOL Mike, don't worry mate, this thread isn't really directed at you! ;oD

Observations:
I can't help noticing that most folks here hate those ‘Lexus’ lights. Maybe it is the very name Lexus, that everyone seems to hate?
I also can't help wondering why the style of fuel filler first found on the F is not called M.G. style. Or have you a better sugestion?

There seems to be many owners on here who think anything Rover make is fantastic, anything German or Japanese, is CR*P!.

Perhaps if they were called "MG lights", that would be OK!.

Oh well, each to thier own!!.

Bling, bling. :o)

>Perhaps if they were called "MG lights", that would be OK!<

Well it's happened. Just read my local, and MG have launched the 'Trophy' range of ZR's. Complete with Lexus style back lights! LOL.

Any comments Neil? ;-)

As I sad before, I think the silver ones are a bit naff, but the smoked are ok, and on the right car look much better than the OEM. Have a look at Deano's coal lorry to see how good they can look.

Lexus lights now OEM.
....MG made in Birmingham...it isnt exactly Milan now is it? So I suppose anything goes!

BUT
ZR's are in the CHAV size marketplace, so I suppose you can understand why MG have bowed to consumer requests and fitted these abominations to the cars.

...I thought the F fuel filler cap came from a motorbike...
