You must have seen a lot of different ones to me then. The quality of Orions (especially those displayed by the Orion Register) is generally very high. I could name a good few that were there that were every bit as clean as yours is, so perhaps look a bit harder next time

Joe's is definately one of the pants ones though

Love the look of that!

Think i'd be tempted to put the 16" RS7s on it that are on my Fez if I had it, or my 15" old school 5-spoke MOs!

Picked myself up a 49k 1.4GL today as it goes...

I'm not going to clutter up this guys thread with pictures of other cars, but there are many many hugely well cared for, and very nicely modified Orions out there, two of which are owned by slammedorion on this forum, so maybe check out his threads, especially his Moonstone one
