I'll never understand that.

Peugeot 406 Coupe, one of the best looking mass-produced cars of the 1990's. Why spoil it by chucking a load of tat onto it? Just leave the Pininfarina shape alone :shock:

couldn't agree more. PininFarini did a great job on an otherwise horrible car, more respect needed...

Note to rest of world: You are not the crazy dude from "Taxi". His chavved (pimped?) 406 looked cool mainly because an insane amount of work went into making it look JUST right.... oh and they worked some frollywood magic to make it appear to transform. Because transforming cars are automatically awesome.

well, there's always one. we must be thankful that it WAS only one :D

hmmm, nice orion, i like the pink colour :roll: ..... but isn't that a new fiesta in front of the rover? (yes, yes, sad case, i know, but i have a mate with one who preens over it like crazy)

lexus lights first mod = cheap (ish), easy to do, all their mates have them, and the best way to immediately distinguish their cars from standard issue without having to put a bodykit on (which is the second, more expensive mod).
quite what the rich kids who mod lexuses up, or the newer boy racer cars that come with wot the yanks call "Altezza lights"* as standard, fit to their rides is anyone's guess. Laser pens perhaps.

(* somehow it doesn't seem quite as special when you refer to it as being a Toyota meme rather than a Lex one :D)

Or just keep the MK5 lights that look fine anyway, and put the money towards something else.

you could have a go at trying for some white smoked ones......

or get a car in a colour that's more amenable to proper colour coded mods :D

ye could always go for a police theme and keep the red bits as they are but code the other parts of the lights blue?
