sambo Posted March 19, 2007 Report Posted March 19, 2007 Jeeeesuussss!! whats wrong with you people!?? KEEP THE SQUARE LIGHTS AND KEEP THE GRILL BLACK!!!!! It looks gorgeous! Square lights are way cooler, but then i am biased! Love the colour and loved the mex stripes (RIP). Cool car though! And sorry to be so opinionated but i feel very strongly about the square/round headlights debate!

Square lights are way cooler, but then i am biased! Love the colour and loved the mex stripes (RIP). Cool car though! And sorry to be so opinionated but i feel very strongly about the square/round headlights debate! Square lights do indeed give a different look, and nought wrong with being opinionated, if you like something then it's worth stating it. my tuppence worth though is that round lights are actually better from a practically standpoint, they give much better light, especially if you've junked the sealed beam units in favour of some halogen H4's
RedditchJay Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 I haver the H4's on the Mexico, fab lights and then if you hot the x4 150watts lamps its daylight
paulfluke Posted March 20, 2007 Report Posted March 20, 2007 Bid on that bad boy myself , didn't have the reddies tho! It's a wicked machine alright , keep the square in my opinion they look betta.

Dean Vale Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 If you have not got your tyres yet khumo do a 235/50x13 but only in a v70a which is a road legal track tyre and you will not get a lot of life from them, I changed mine to 215/50x13 v732 Khumos which are a high performance road tyre and at about £45 each cant complain about price either good luck, love the car!!
