Nice car. Not keen on the black eyes though.

Could be quite nice I guess, but the lights, the grill, and I think the back box is a bit ostentatious for a 1.8!

There's a bit of trend at the moment for black tinted headlight lenses. Chances are the idiots also run unsuitable HID kits to overcome the loss of performance...

That's a bit strong for a personal opinion when plenty members here would maybe like and use them.

My 1.8's have never seemed underpowered.

Each to their own, it looked okay to its previous owner, I have seen some of the abortions added to members cars and they look tasteless. just an opinion.

Are your headlight lenses black tinted?

Er, no, as the original, plus the compulsory yellowing, yes I will clean them up one day.
