Pmsl, I did Detention most of the time. A bit of paint makes all the difference mate. I'll tell you what, I will give you my new 18" pegs and you give me those awful 19's they just ruin the look of the s70 lol

As you scroll down the pic's, when you come to the 1st one with the Black headlights and 19's the transformation is a bit of an addrenilin rush! It just looks Nasty....
