Custom reg plates

Planned mods (subject to change due to current lack of a job):


Blue sidelights

I.C.E setup (yet to be decided)

Merkur or Zunsport grill (painted black)

16 or 17" OZ Michelangelo 8 alloys (size dependant on weight) to be painted with purple chrme rim and gloss black spokes at a later date

Carl, seriously why tell us now just wait until next year then put them on and tell us.

two reasons

1. i edited a photoshop craig did for us of my gp with the wheels on so the stripes were darker to see roughly how the final product would look (opinions please)

2. just had a bir of a general rethink of late and done some budgeting so have a few more serios things happening soon.

mate just get purple stripes! there is no way they will fade... someone talks ******. vinyl is made to live out side.
if i remember they are made to last 10years or so without fading

missed this. you will have to see them craig they really have faded. going to get some miles darker ones though.

anndddd what has that got to do with telling us you will be getting alloys in a years time?
 
But no one cares lol. Would you like me to go through my budget of what i am doing to my car over the next year or would it be much more beneficial if i just updated my thread the week before it happened or when it had been done? lol

they have the potential to look cool, like the new saab rear lights. BUT, they also have the potential to be just as sh!t as lexarse lights.

before buying i would try and find pics of real cars with them on, to make up your mind on whether they look good or not.

precisely what ive been thinking. dilema is trying to find pics. the only pics i can find are of ultra's version of the black ears which have a gash looking top reflector and the led strips are red which looks a bit odd. the abarth rears are the cheaper and easier option but imo are a tad boring as a mod.
 
i dont think they will look very good ive decided. which would you rather have? something thats boring but looks great, or something thats more "interesting" but looks worse?

personally i would just tint the ones you have, since you have a black car :)
 
why dont you tint your own lights for less than £20?

because i know ill mess them up so would rather save the hassle.

or he could give his car to his mum, save up a few hundred quid and buy his own bloody car like everyone else :rolleyes:

nearly bought a cinq untill i went for some insurance quotes which were all more than for the gp.
