Mk2 Orion + Mondy rims FTW!!!






Yours is looking well chap, I thought it was turbo'd already?

I always keep swithering on removing my spoiler or not, sometimes it looks wicked, and other times it looks too plain. Can't make up my mind!!

Think yours would look really good with the ambers back on all round

Yours was my inspiration mate, i love yours!

I keep toying with the idea of putting a spoiler on, but not sure if i should.
No, it aint turbo

And i dont like ambers at all, on the saff or on the orion! lol

I know, I'm the same about the ambers on mine, but if it were a different colour I'd maybe think about it. If I ever make mine black, I'd put ambers back on all round.

Just thought that since you've got ambers on the rear, it would look good all round.

i just got all my tubby management fitted, loving it!!!

i fancy doing something to my rear lights, not sure though, i like yours, but clears are too hard to find, i was thinking maybe use very light coats of light tinting spray to do a red top half/dark bottom half, what do you think?
