Hey folks, just done a deal on my 320 touring for an IS, ok i know that some might wonder why but its basically because I have always fancied an IS and its a two door :D

I have an 06 plate punto as "dads taxi" :P so is not going to be a daily runner.

Its being kept more or less standard, will be going with the red and black theme, the se skirts and lower edge on back skirt will be going back to black as they should be along with front is lip, i might go with smoked front and back lights and side repeaters still not sure on that yet.

Sailed through its MOT not issues, will post up some more pics once she is all polished up, but here is a few for now...

I'm interested to see where this came from as I test drove it about a year and a half ago when it was advertised on pistonheads, but then lost my job and had to pass on it. It used to have 15"bbs and a bluetooth radio. Nice car tho.
