And all those idiots who put the wrong seats in their Omegas due to their obscession with leather combined with their tightness to buy the correct ones for their car ::)

And poorly retrofitted HIDs ::)


I, for one, am pleased ;)

Quite a few of those about, seen facelifts with pre-minifaclift leather inside. Assume that would have caused Airbag light to come on, which would have been removed!  ::)

The end of retro hids hopefully. Although given the number of wonky headlights generally on the roads, wonder if it'll make any odds at all?
