not too bad, i dont honsetly think neons/LED in the footwells look too bad if done tastefully with other subtle lighting. nice.

imydaking · 12th March 2009, 20:15

yeah i chose leds as there less brighter than the neons. also they match the car and they wont break easily or come off

Sneakydevil89 · 12th March 2009, 20:27

i know how much of a pain neon tubes can be when they get kicked. broken so easily. good choice, your right they do match colour of the car nicely

imydaking · 13th March 2009, 19:30

couple more of the lights lol in evening and night

Footwell neons are good in clean cars, otherwise it just lights up the dirt and the nike air max's innit bruv.

Sneakydevil89 · 14th March 2009, 11:04

the switch is next to the hazard flasher thing you can see it lit up, also there connected so that they can only be turned on when the sidelights/headlights are on.

Its pretty easy if you fit them can help out if needed

gonna give it a mega whoring session in a week or two can someone recommeend a good polish and wax? ( already got Autoglym SRP and extra gloss) wanting the more wet effect for summer

cheers mate, i think i will be able to do it, its not too complicated. just was interested in how you did yours

imydaking · 14th March 2009, 22:40

the leds will glue on easily on driver side under the steering column and on passenger side just cable ties to tie it to some fusebox wires

imydaking · 28th March 2009, 23:14

slight update put in some xsara washer jets and whiter bulbs on front (will get pics soon)

also finally got my door pod painted and all fitted onto one door card, working on making another quite happy with how the first one turned out

couldnt be botherd to retrim the doorcards its a big headache! just bought some grey ones for the pods look good i think. Shame the speakers don't come with grills

alloys delayed till mid april

just can't afford to pay out for it now

scott-sx · 30th March 2009, 12:07

works fine mate you got the right cable? also theres 2 holes in the back one for mp3 the others for a remote maybe yours in the wrong one :d

imydaking · 1st April 2009, 17:35

thanks for the kind words people ') one pods in the other will be in in a couple days

imydaking · 5th April 2009, 20:23

Gave it a clean today as i had a load of time after the F1 (Button FTW!)

not had much time to get pics after the 4 hours of whoring

used the following:

Kent Noodle wash mitt + 2 bucket method
Kent polish applicator pads
Few microfibre cloths
Autoglym SRP + EGP + Bodyshampoo + Fast glass
Turtle wax wet n black
Meguires Mirror glaze #16 wax

The results all done by hand ...

nice n tidy motor you've got there bud. I would mesh the front grill and maybe smoke jewel rear lights. I agree - you were rather raped on the insurance lol
