Ah, I gotcha. Thanks so much for the clarification. Makes so much more sense because over here the general Opera opinion is that they are ugly and while over at m5board.com / bmwm5.com its that Hamann isn't the best looking either!

I think 310 just does installations. I never knew they made their own stuff.

IMO, the front FAB design is nice. The back however, is not.
