Even worse, if you click the "auto" tab, you'll notice they're contributing to automotive tastelessness. Yes, they're selling stupid/bling/ugly head and tail lamp assemblies and other disgusting trinkets for your car.

It's like Halford's, without the useful stuff.images/smilies/tongue.gif

If they want to go anywhere they're going to need to make the website more appealing.
It currently resembles a McDonalds breakfast, after it's made me throw up.
