Title: Help I\'ve just brought a green Neon...
Post by: Brett on December 10, 2004, 11:04:34 AM
What was I supposed to do?  It was on sale for £6!

 So the question is, do I A) Fit it in the front bumper somewhere?
                                   or B) Sell it on Ebay?


 I feel so used and dirty.

:confused:

Its a modest 12", green.  And the idea of sticking it in front of the oil cooler/power steering cooler is growing on me.....

Subtle Interior Lighting - Rocks

Plan is not to have it visible, just to get a glow coming out of the front airdam, if it looks crap I will take it off and sell it to grinder for £50

              " you need it"?
              "where did you find it"?

 Its ok, we share your pain.

Post by: Brett on December 15, 2004, 09:56:23 AM
Designed for a PC case?  The 20" chrome taps or the Neon? :D

 I\'m toying with lots of ideas in my head as to where it could go, one idea is to place it above the oil cooler and put a couple of reflective strips in there, that way I should get a green glow coming out of the front and a nice glow from the engine bay.
 Also any body taking bets on how long it will take me to melt it due to it being within 3ft of my exhaust manifold?.........

Post by: grinder on December 15, 2004, 10:39:35 AM
the neons ... sheesh

im hoping to put mine under the dash - so i get a glow over the foot wells - but then i like the idea of putting them under the seats

and asfar as the engine bay - hummmmmmmm that could be fun :)

Post by: scooby_si on December 15, 2004, 12:23:12 PM
personally i\'d go for a full on custom install:
first upgrade yer seat to a more comfortable one which we all know & love




















then put the greeny thing beneath it & da daaaaaaaaaaaa
at all the shows it\'ll look like you have a kinda evil sun shining out yer bum

travellinbob - you going to RS next year - we need to have a good chat :)

Post by: Brett on December 15, 2004, 04:37:03 PM
This whole \'neons are sad\' thing has made me laugh recently, when I realised that although they are really chav like, we all harbour a secret desire to put at least one neon on our cars, somewhere.  

 I bet knight rider lights would look really good too! >JOKE!<
Title: Help I\'ve just brought a green Neon...
Post by: travellinbob on December 16, 2004, 11:15:04 AM

Notice how travellinbob keeps  quite after grinders last post.:D
 Self preservation mode kicking in.

 remember, its not the size of the turbo that counts. Its how much boost it can produce:rollin
