Don't know, but they'd have to pay ME to put that sh!te on my car! :laugh: :laugh: :lipsrseal

You could park your car in the living room at Christmas to save putting up a tree.

Let me explain once more !! :

My car, [ and Daves car ] will be "objects of fascination" to people with money to spend on all thing BLING !! yes........... It will be lit up like a christmas tree........... yes It will be covered in promotional stickers........... yes It will stand out from the crowd, & that Is the intention !! :-b
We are promoting CUSTOM FX DIRECT, & to that end, I dont care how many blingy things It got on it as long as it attracts custom.

Pete was spot on with the cost................. NOWT !! :-b a favour for a favour. Ryan at www.ultrabright.co.uk is donating his time & skills to BLING my car, & Terrys jeep, in return for a few stock items from the shop, & a trip with us to the pod to promote his wares.

And just to add to the "potential customer base "............... my car WILL be the fastest VR4 at the pod !! with over 100 bhp of nitrous [ only tested up to 75 at the mo !! :$ :$ ] I cant see anyone beating it !!
/ runs for cover !! ;)

My flamers did arrive today !! :$ : took one look at the kit, & the non existent instructions, & thought ?? help !! :rolleyes5 :rolleyes5
So I phoned a recommended installer and got a quote of............. " It'll take all day mate, that'll be £280" WTF !! :laugh:
out comes the tools & drill, & I set about it myself. [ I really should be at work !! ] piece of cake !! both coils fitted, wired, switched & sparking in a couple of hours !!
My 2 HT leads are now hanging under the car, just above each exhaust, waiting for the plugs to be welded into the tail pipe. Ascar are doing this bit as I have no facilities for drilling & welding stainless.

Roll on tomorrow !! :flamer1: :flamer1: :flamer1:
