firstly liking the neons and the night photos, look good looking forward to seeing a few day photos, i wouldn\'t kit it espcially if you want to put 2.0 in her i like the street sleeper look alot more than the ott look
would invest in a very good alarm though, if you havent already and the would prob concentrate on interior/ ice?
suggestions please people?

mainly because im always been told different laws regarding the use of undercar lighting by them.....i\'ve heard that its ok as long as the source of the light can not be seen (which it cant even without sideskirts), also heard that its ok to have them on wen ur not moving and lastly i have heard that its ok as long the lights arent strobing! as far as im concerned untill they can make up there minds....i brought them so ill use them! thats fair enough isnt it
suggestions please people?

i think the law is confusing on this, your allowed any color that wont be mistaken as emergency services, so not red blue. that leaves green then.
problem is that policeman can say that green could be mistaken for emergency services if they like.
you are allowed any colour when you are parked up.
i was told that by a policeman in southend
yeah it took him ages to build, its really hard finding inspiration as well.
yeah get some boot build photos up matey

well ive looked the topic up on scarboroughcruise.com when someone posted about it, and the law is that if the tube aint showing and the lights arent pulsating then that is legal and that bit was said by a police officer, but it all depends on the copper who stops you. and if you dont belive me sign up to
www.scarboroughcruise.co.uk, go to the police interview section and read the bottom topic on page 1 for yourself.
also having undercar neons switched on while driving is dangerous as it can distract other road users.
i know of people who have had £30 fines for having neons tuned on while driving. and ive also heard about people getting points on there liscence for having them turned on.
but as i said above its all down to the coppers opinion, my advice is DONT DRIVE WITH THEM ON.but its your liscence not mine.

thats fair enough....but cops round here dont seem to mind....talked to a few and they were sayin how much they liked them....just been advised not to use them on the motorway cus traffic cops will rip ur car apart...
