The first 100 people to place an order for an IQ received a paperweight in the post from Toyota. I actually missed out but someone was selling their IQ so I bought their paperweight from them for £20! Really pleased with it, its a great little keepsake!
Here I have created a blog to follow the life of my 2009 Toyota IQ2, from its first day in my ownership to present day with all the ups and downs in between! I hope this is useful to other IQ owners who are thinking of or have modified their own IQs.

Custom Exhaust System V.2
After all the dramas with the first exhaust system and also due to Toyota mentioning that my exhaust system was a poor aftermarket fit, I got fed up with the first garage and went to another garage. I went to The Exhaust & Auto Centre in Hastings.
They raised my car up on the ramps and we could not believe our eyes! The first garage had absolutely wrecked the exhaust system of my <1 year old car. Here are some pictures of what they had done to my poor little IQ.
This is how they stopped the exhaust knocking against the underside of my car...
As you can see, the pictures are shocking! Im now VERY pleased to say I have a complete new system made. The original garage used stainless steel, I dont think so!! Not quite sure thats how stainless steel is meant to go like after 6 months.
I am very very happy with Hastings Exhaust Centre, would recommend them completely. 25 years in the business and instead of using multiple pieces and welding together, they have used one long piece and bent it in the proper machine.
