Love it... APART from the wheels. Sorry but I just think it's borderline barry, they clash a bit with the rest of the car. I'd be looking out for some RS 7-spokes, or RS500 wheels. Something just a bit more 'fitting'.
However, I salute you for trying something different, the Orion is a very undervalued car in mk1 form and a definate future classic. It looks a pretty mint example too.
There's a guy up the road from me got a mk2 Orion 1600E, which was a 1.6i Ghia with BBS-style wheels and leather I think. Pretty rare, and 100% tidy. Seen him cleaning it more often than driving it!

Very tasteful. I like the wheels and the overall stance. Nice to see a sensible exhaust pipe too.

thanks for all of your comments about my orion!!! theirs a lots of opinion on the wheels! these are being changed soon, I'm picking up some 16 inch tsw evo"s tommorow, should look pretty cool hopefully!!! engine is pretty standard except for ashley exhaust and pipercross induction kit, maybe go for a turbo conversion when funds allow.despite the pictures it could really do with a respray,starting to get tatty round the edges even though its only done 69k (53k when i bought it)

Looks ace I reckon, wheels wouldn't be my first choice but each to his own.
Makes me wonder what happened to all the Orion's you used to see around? Doesn't seem that long ago they were everywhere, in reality it's probably been years since I saw one.
My brother in law used to have a sporty-ish one, perhaps a 1600 or 1800 injection model in red, not sure which model as I'm not well up on Fords.
Good work! ;D
