I had a great garage until we moved, looking to build one now and tile the floor, I want something that can have 4 mercs 2x2 and still have space to move around them, just need to speak to the wife about this as she has ideas on two new bathrooms, kitchen, extension, utility, new ofice, dining room ok 40 grand which could be better spent on a garage.

:cry: That's a bit personal Malcolm :cry:

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

I agree with you! They certainly look more bulky but actually, in the metal (sorry plastic) they are quite thin.

I think you were correct when you said about the size of the light wrt the surround.

I think mine lights stand more proud than yours. Therefore more surround shows.

I'm thinking this was money badly spent :(

They will sell on Ebay,, and I have the bumper strips that I will never use, so you are not alone, but your car is so nice now :D:D:D

If you do fit them you will have to wear a chavvy (replica) Burberry baseball cap (backwards of course). I always thought you had a lot more taste than that. ;)

And you will need matching chrome trim for the wheel arches. :twisted:

I would hate to disabuse you of your opinion of me, so the surrounds will stay in their box :roll::lol:
