Mk1 1600i Ghia for me please in black or maybe grey,I wouldnt be ashamed palking that next to my Sapp 
.You cant say "I owned one and it was shit" its pointless.Some ex cosworth owners say as they are shit but they still have another.My old man must have owned at least more than ten of every mk and model of Orion in the past when they were mainstream cars.3i with a boot or in your case it will be a 3 lol.

well, i now own an Orion!
Its ace, love it, drives really well, goes better than my van, its far from the cleanest, but i wasn't expecting a minter!
Engine bay is good, sills have had weld, arches could do with a bit of atention and the boots got a nasty dent, genuine 66k but not bad for £350!

I can see this thread going the same way as the previous Orion one! 
Each to their own lads! I love my Orion (even though I hate it for being off the road for nearly 3 months now and not being able to figure out what's wrong with it!) but I wouldn't swap it.
Nearly sold it last year, but really glad I kept hold of it now
wong - get some 16's, lower it a bit and some back-to-black on the bumpers and it will look a million times better

Those 14's are naff, so they have to go.
I have 17's on my van, but personally, i think they look too big on them, and i have a set of 15" hockenheim R's, which i think might just work! what do you boys think? dont want to go out and buy wheels, as the cossie is eating a load of cash at the moment!
also, smudge, any lower and it wont move, its on the friggin deck!
Have just stone chipped all the bits that where black, bit more protection (and to hide the rust! lmao) and given it a wash, and put the k & n on that came with it!
Got to wait till next weekend till i drive it though, no point taxing it now.
