cheezeitthedog Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 OK to update on the latest work done to my car. Finally got some colour coded mirrors with thanks to steviet. Love the way they look and without revealing too much there are more plans afoot. Although one question I will pose is whether green lighting in the car would ruin everything? I have some green LED strips for the footwells and am considering keeping the green going with some speaker rings for the boot but unsure on the idea atm. Opinions please and Ill see what way it swings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4EFTE Sol Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 ohh my god!! pass yur test already busteri wish my car looked that dope before i took my test Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yea lets get it clear there will NEVER be any exterior neons! I am not a chav let me categorically state that lol. I mean interior nothing over the top but just a little bit of green in the footwells and maybe a green glow behind the dials. not on the outside that would look hideous lol. @4EFTE lol although I have passed my test lol. The L plates were before I had passed but over here we have to display an R for a year and were restricted to 45mph in theory. Just a way to control young drivers over here. I passed my test on October 8th so still a while to go on the R's lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 @ Nanglebadger - Have you any pics of your warm glowing warming interior glow? Couldnt find any in your topic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I mean interior nothing over the top but just a little bit of green in the footwells and maybe a green glow behind the dials.I swear my dials glow green?What colour are urs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 White lol. I can prove it by going out and taking a pic if you want lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4EFTE Sol Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 You have to admit that some neon tyre valve caps would look badass =] (lolz)does the R stand for R-tard?where are you from?i would look but i'm not sober so w/e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 dear god that would look hideous lol. I love my rims and noone gets near them lol especially not with that sort of thing. Probably going to paint the calipers and drums though. The R stands for Restricted unfortunately. Although in practice 85mph just 'testing' third gear isnt too restricted lol but we shouldnt talk about that lol. And Im from the almighty Northern Ireland Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tahiti Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I like that - nice and subtle.Where did you get the speaker pods in the doors from out of interest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 @ Tahiti I got them made up by a company in Portadown called Audio Advice. Didnt want to run the risk of doing it myself so I just got all the audio done by them although I could have wired it given the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Found a couple of pics of the audio I forgot to put in last time so here they are.Fisrt are the tweeters installed in the a pillars and finished over in alcantara. Which justifies why I didnt do the install myself lol. And for anyone whos interested this ids the head unit I went for. Cant remember the model code but its the latest Kenwood USB ... and apologies for the state of my car mats, the white tack underneath it and the chewing gum packet ... and probably fairly soon Ill be apologising for the gear knob as well lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Loving the tweeters Focal are awsome lets see the door pods :angry: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 @ Sparky theres a picture of them earlier on in the topic but heres another to remind you lolThe best thing is I was driving around with those in when I had L plates on the car lol. Details is youre interested theyre made of I think MDF and covered over in Alcantara again since it was the closest match to the existing fabric, and it has removed my door pocket but thats what a glove box is for lol. I never used them anyway lol. And the components are Focal 165-A 6.5" and the sound out of them is incredible. And the small black knob to the right of my keys is the bass control for the sub which was handily wired in so I can basically turn the subs right down without having to go to the amp and twiddle lol.

cheezeitthedog Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 And if anyone is interested Im probably going to sell the original door mirrors so give me a shout if you want them or I'll put them on ebay in the next week instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4EFTE Sol Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 ohh my god!! where did you get the pillars from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cheezeitthedog Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 ohh my god!! where did you get the pillars from?They were done by audio advice as well lol. Hence why I didnt have a go at installing the stuff. Cost a bit more but I reckon it was well worth it. Not entirely sure how they did the pillars though never asked about them lol.
