There’s a lot of us that’d buy those again, but not at £20 each for something that probably lost its smell twenty years ago! 😂 i know its a lot for a air freshener but £20.00 is not a bad price compared to what some sold for the prices of feu orange seemed to shoot up and now its come back down at one point they where selling for just under £100.00 each  |

£100? I can think of lots of things I’d sooner spend it on! 😂
I did used to like the old Feu Orange though, I’m surprised someone isn’t remaking it.

I absolutely love this, I saw you driving up Bolton Rd the other day. For what was an incredibly common vehicle it doesn’t half stand out now.

its been over a year since i rebuilt the engine, its been running great with no issues the engine is a 143 mems 3 143bhp not the more commonly known 160 engine i booked it in for a remap at saws tuning hoping to get around 160 bhp, I'm not after the most power i can get i just wanted to bring it up to the same bhp as the 160 engine on the dyno and it made 162 bhp, it turns out it has had a remap before which i didn't know about they said they could probably get more power out of it but as its been running great with no problems and its making the 160 bhp which is what i wanted we decided it was best to just leave it the map was checked over for any issues and over run burble added  |

led headlights 5 x 7 inch slightly bigger size than the standard metro lights but they will fit with a bit of work  |
