benJee_VTR 12th July 2009 20:45

Thinking of doing something a little different... Doing one, or more of my spokes in flourescent yellow. Can get white primer, flourescent paint and flourescent lacquer on the cheap from work. May get a photoshop...
Got the inspiration from Ken Block's drift subaru.
Ideas?

Yes, the Silvertec bulbs from Halfords should do this job quite nicely :)

Yeah i considered these when i bought the angels. The proper diadem bulbs which look pearl, but flash orange...

I can get them from work, so will look into it!

Mark1 12th July 2009 21:00

Yes the Osram Diadem's look good too.

Mark.

benJee_VTR 12th July 2009 21:52

Any opinions on the flourescent spokes idea?

Mark1 12th July 2009 22:01

Might look good - Are these the ones that you can see at night?

jaystar89 12th July 2009 22:09

Not really, flourescent is like, the ultra bright colour. Same as a yellow highlighter pen :P

Wow, some compliment! Thanks mate, glad you like it. I still have a few mods in mind before i can say im finished. I'm getting pressed plates next, a custom center console with ipod holder smoothed, and possibly c/coded bump strips.

benJee_VTR 13th July 2009 18:53

benJee_VTR 14th July 2009 21:18

any suggestions appreciated :)

Llardy 14th July 2009 22:28

look good mate, all i can really say is im not to sure on the rear diffuser, and alse the front bumber looks like it hangs too low

benJee_VTR 14th July 2009 22:31

yeh that's the best i can get the bumper without changing it, it does bug me, but its better than it used to. Thanks for the comment :)

Ben 14th July 2009 22:35

Looks lovely now mate! Sits just about perfect, although I'm not keen on the rear diffuser but its not my car is it :)

jmwilliams 14th July 2009 22:38

looks lovely mate, think window tints or a showcage would look good ;)

Mark1 14th July 2009 22:41

Very nice indeed, they are on my next-to-buy list! :D

Also, can those bulbs be used for the rear indicators as well, or just the front?
