Hi all.
Im fairly new here so i thought id post some pics of my beloved orion.
Had her nearly 4 years now and have turned it from a basic LX 1600 orion to the car you see now. Dont even want to think of the amount ive spent on her!!
The lastest mods are the mk6 bonnet (extended and badboy'd) and the mk6 quad lamps. These differ slightly to the mk5's so took a bit more work to get on. You'll also see the angel eyes in the night pix. This is a mod im very proud of. It took many hours (almost a week infact) to get the rings inside the quad lenses. That involoved taking a drill,hacksaw and stanley knife to my brand new £300+ quad lamps. very scary i can tell ya!! They look white with a blue tinge on the outter rings and pure white on the inner ones. Ive also just had to rewire them as the outter rings kept flickering and stopped working alltogether! Fingers crossed its all working fine now.
As you can see my digi cam wernt designed for nite use! lol
Hence the angels differ in colour from one pic to the next.
Well proud of meself
Worth the many many hours spent on em.

How she started back in 2000
