not a fan of the angle eyes, IMO angle eyes belong on Beemers and the like, still look good and aslong as your happy withthe look thats all that matters

Bare in mind tho looks like it was updated in 2009 people having problems with them so it may have been sorted by now. Just do a few google searches on them brings up a few things people have had issues with:
