Looks really nice, first time I've seen a red facelift.

Hmm that's just up the road from me, might pop in and take a look :-"

Great price for such a rare combo, it even has the Modulo kit!
Strange interior though, shouldn't it have red Recaro's to match the doorcards?

Also, what is that box on the centre console? Is it some ECU controller?

its the defi control unit for the defi gauges on the dash.

I can imagine ,given the gauges inside the car, that the seats were changed from red to black. My Milano has red interior and red door cards so i would guess they would have originally been red seats.

I see where you're coming from matey but I don't think they warrant the tacky lexus lights tag. They are on the right side of tasteful for that type of style. Just my opinion of course. And I have to admit to make the lights nice you have to have a different rear end. e.g. I like the mugen rear lip on the facelift more than the pre. But for OEM, the pre wins every time.

this car was on sale a couple of years ago when i bought mine from torque gt. they imported 2 facelift reds so i had the choice. it has the mudulo bodykit on it and a few other mods pictured which didnt really do it for me.
it was a really tidy example and i think at that time it had done something like 30k (about 2 yrs ago)

as for the rear lights on the facelift, i can see how people may think they are lexus like but at night they glow in sort of rings like a skyline and dont get me started about how halfords bad the pre facelift clocks look like.
