i got the neons that halfords sell, well good.

only ?99.99. if you got a mate that work there he'll get 15% off and they'll be yours for ?85.

well easy to fit and wire up and well good quality.

best neons i've ever seen.

dont pay over ?150 for fusion ones or anything, the halfords prism ones are the best.

heres a pic of them on a mates car, dont know how to get the pic bigger.

get the halfords ones, trust.

fergie.

got pics of mine in ma profile in signiture.

16-09-03, 07:29 PM
sorry fergie ur mates neons show why theres such a problem over them. u need to get the positioning of them perfectly so the light shines evenly underneath the car where as with ur m8's theres a massive gap round the wheels and u can clearly c where the lights are mounted from the light given off

also the halfords 1's are glass tubes and easily broken on 1 of the many speed bumps in this fair land lol

yeah but when you see them in the flesh they dont look that bad, pretty much a perfect circle round the car.

17-09-03, 09:32 AM

I'd get them...

If I was 16, had just wanted F+F in the cinema and I wanted to look cooooooool. I'd also get myself neon waser jets cos they instantly make the car look wiiiiiicccckkkkkkeeeeeed too.

Hell why not get a sunstrip too? + some tacky still on quad headlight covers?

oooooo and some maxpower seat covers and harness pads on my seatbelts..

raaaaaah forgot the ultimate Peco Big Bore 4! wwwiiiiiiiiickkkkkkkkeeeeed

Sorry that was a bit ott.

Here's where I should be all nice and say "in my opinion" bla bla.. but I'm fed up of being nice... NEONS ARE SHIT!

Sod it, you put em on. Just don't complain when everyonce calls you a nonce!

linzTDI
17-09-03, 10:11 AM
why will people call me a nonce when i am a girl so wht i want them on the meets i got to alot of people have thm and it attracts attention to there cars.

Not askin you to like them was only asking where to get them from and who had them so i think you should keep you opinions to your self as they werent asked for

Breeny
17-09-03, 11:34 AM
The meets you go to?

You mean the local Mcdonalds rude boys?

:lol:

Sorry back to the topic..

You can buy them from Halfords...

oh and I know someone with them on his 1.0 nova (well he walked up to me and said look at my neons) I was well impressed I can tell ya.

?Marty?
17-09-03, 04:18 PM
Do what you like Linz. As to the diff between Halfords/Fast anf Furious ones (think they are Fusion ones!?) it is just name branding and nothing else.

It's funny really, as a lot of people i know who are not into modifying cars (young and old) have told me they saw a car with neon lights under it and they thought it's really cool/were well impressed by it, and said i should get some on mine.

Though i personally don't like them. That's because i don't go to meets or cruises or anything like that (i don't like meeting people, or people in general), and it's not legal to drive about with them on. And wouldn't look too good doing that anyway, in my opinion.

Breeny - love your footer pal!

at the end of the day modifying your car is all about doing it to your taste. Some people like sunstrips some don't. Some like big arse plastic kits, and some like subtle.

I myself have chose to have underbodys as i like them.

I have 4 ultra bright ones which are fitted correctly so they light all the underneathm of the car with no gaps.

Hardly have them on to be honnest, as its not worth the points. Really only put them on when parked at shows/meets

i thought it was a 30pound fine for exterior lights on your car, not points on your lisence anton??

this is gettin out of hand. neons like itt bodykits, 99% of the time look fcuked but as with the ott kits some cars can pull it off and it does look good on the right car so leave her alone if she chooses to do it then let her she asked people for help to find some not for evri1 to attack her and her car because SHE PERSONALLY CHOOSES TO HAVE NEONS ON HER CAR

Do NOT buy max power neons they break as soon as a piece of dust touches them. Get LED under car lights if you really want them, although be prepared to pay a little more

I sure do was there on saturday in the pouring rain the car park was in a foot of water.
Was a well nice nova there tho i seen it come in then i was snipering about looking for it, bright yellow it was.

Was a silver nova with a fushion back bumper in primer which tried to race me out the industrial estate they did a hand break turn on the dodgey corner as you come in and lost it stalled it :lol: :lol:

The led light ommit more light, but ur able 2 c on the floor little dots from the led's!
Apparently the cheapo neons break easier than pricey ones!
U get a good guarantee with the led kits, and u can have different flash sequences, or just permanently on!

22-09-03, 05:34 PM

this thing about neons breaking all the ti,e is bollox i have had them on my last punto and they were fine including a couple of occasions when i forgot about them and did some silly big wheeel spins on gravel. i have never clipped them on a speed bump my car was lowered 35mm it never clipped on the 14's or 17's if it did it would have hit my side exits too.
i would say as long as you can't see the tubes fit them if you can take them off and find some where more descret to mount them.

i personally paid ?90 at donny show (doncaster) for 2x 48" and 2x 36" i didn't want them to flash because it looks gay. they now have a couple of cracks in the tubes from flying stones but it has had no detrimental effect on their operation.

just my 2 pence anyway

yeah, but yours were fitted INSIDE the car. :lol:
