    Nope that's not food included.

    I didn't buy cheap ones, I got good ones :) I was thinking for Toyo R1 or the falken and I decided the Falken because they are more High Performance :)


    4x Falken Ziex ZE914 205/50 R15 86V met velgrandbescherming Falken Ziex ZE914 205/50

    I paid total: 4 wheels + 4 tyres: 745 euros.

    My apologies - id like to see a pic of the Orion just because its a car id be interested to see.

    If I doubted the man - I wouldn't even actually ask for a pic - its because I actually believe him (ive no reason not to) that im wondering is there a pic.

    The Orions are very rare now - and id actually like to see a pic of one.

    Apologies for any offence caused

    No offence on my side at all - the "wangling angle, cheapest is all that matters" post smells like bait to me, that's all...

    Some one put a small ding in the wing of my car the mark will polish out out the dent is right on the crease so probably won't pull out. Like someone whacked a door of it full force. Sometimes you would think it's a complete waste of time trying to keep a cars body clean and straight as there will always be someone that doesn't give a fcuk that will damage it. Ah well that's life I suppose.

    Ye I'll have a better luck at it tomorrow and see. I might try to push it out from the inside tomorrow it I can get in at it Id say it's too sharp though. It will be fairly down my list of things to do in general tbh it's slight just the way the light catches it. It's going in Friday to get this wheel bearing done that should make a huge difference to it cabin noise wise anyway :)

    Best of luck with it. Speaking of LED lights does anyone else notice a lot of mid 2000's or older cars going around with them tacky led DRL's in the lower grill they look ok on 1 out of every 10 cars they just look wrong on the rest of them IMO. Infairness I am starting to see drl's benefits after having them on the Megane but I wouldn't be going fitting them to cars that don't have it I suppose each to their own most manufactures call them drls renault call them automatic dimming headlights :pac:

    I suppose it really depends what type of LED fitting your using too. I just wouldn't be a fan but maybe that's just me. Although now you get people using them as an alternative to dipped headlights in the middle of town at night thays annoying.
