origional vauxhall mats for a corsa with the red vauxhall writing on them, got them for free!
My dad bought an MR2 2.0gt down there, for £500, with TRD deep dish alloys performance discs and a clifford alarm.
The only damage was a dent in the rear bumper.

Went down there yesterday and picked up a blitz exhaust for the MR2 for £25!! which was a bargain.
