Under car neons

[sleepyrascal]

Whats the general opinion of under car neon strips?

[Moved to correct forum]

(sorry Fontal, as I know you've just fitted them!!) Round here they are generally associated with wee neddy boy racers who nicked the fluorescent tube from their mums kitchen!!:eek::evil: Personally I'm no fan at all!!:clown:

They say look at me I drive a Nova/Corsa with a 1 litre engine!

:D:Denter Fontal:D:D:D:blackeye:

Nasty :eek:

How about the neon's you can fit in the footwell on your car. Driver's fitted them to one of my 4x4's and I thought they were cool.

[Gismo]

Sorry Richard, another one here not too keen on them, but, having been at a couple of cruises and getting caught up in the atmosphere some cars do look pretty good.

[Fontal]

But but but..... I don't have NEONS I have LED's :pmultiple colours and effects Constant, strobing, with music, chasing.
Again I fitted them to be different as I am the only one up here with them:D

[The Dogfather]

I'm going to set myself up for a kicking!

Personally I think that you can go too far when moding a car. The neds with their wide-bodied Corsas and Saxos just look silly, I believe Top Gear has a feature on it's website called Carbage. See example below.Top Gear Carbage Link (http://www.topgear.com/content/fun_stuff/carbage/0/)

Mini's are a bit different because the car was pretty much designed to be personalised however sometimes the mods can take over the personnality of a car. Now I'll agree that so of the Zeemax cars have a 'what the Fu$k' jaw dropping effect but I prefer the more subtle modin like the BBR conversions, maxine's and John's motors. They don't shout look at me but if you know your cars you can see the effort (and money) thats gone into them.

I guess it comes down to personal taste or in the case of under car neons the lack of it. (Sorry Frontal if you've got em)

Go on them hurt my feeling's.

Please introduce yourself to me should we ever be on any of the same runs.

Hmmmm, that makes two of us Fiona!!:evil::clown:

Just personal preference that's all. No offence meant, unless of course you have a Nova!!!!

[Scottie]

Sorry to late it was to personal.

[john]

Bonnie has neons in the boot:blackeye:oops!! sorry Alan:D

[sleepyrascal]

Well i thought about doing a blue LED install just behind the centre console inside the car. I think I would look pretty good without shouting LOOK AT ME!

[MartinSullivan]

Some people on Mini2 have changed the orange instrument leds out for blue ones

Looks pretty good in some of the pics. Have done similar things to mobile phones in the past, very fiddly - lot more expensive if u screw it up in your car I guess

If that's your cup of tea then cool.

ooooooo! :eek: are we in the express your opinion zone :p - you know what happens here - fight, fight, fight ;):D
Neons not my sort of thing and I think the are illegal on a road car anyway. Don't even start me on body kits :clown:
by the way I'm the guy with that tacky, nasty playing card roof ;) - but hey - I like it :approve:

Only if they are switched on whilst driving but they are not illegal to have them fitted.

Mmmmm... I prefer Playmini's Mk1 (Mini obviously) rebuild that looks like a standard Mk1... with the screamin' 1380 16v twin cam... and their alloy 6-pot brakes front and rear...
..Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Neons.... hmmm... nah.... bit too 'pure-mad-mental-Nova-man' for me...

Each to their own tho.. :D
