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]

Yes the Osram Diadem's look good too.

Mark.

[benJee_VTR]

Any opinions on the flourescent spokes idea?

[Mark1]

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

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

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]

any suggestions appreciated

[Llardy]

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]

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]

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]

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

[Mark1]

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

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