Title: NEONS for golf mk 2
Post by: dasachmo on 21 August 2005, 12:35
hi, i just finishing doing up the golf and want to put some nice neons in there,

just got a few Q's, what are better, LED or the cathode ones, i hear LED last longer, but im confused, and also, where can u get decent ones which are golf compatible, i saw some on ebay but i aint got a clue whats going on,

depends where you are putting them.

I find the bin a good place personally, or perhaps the new trend and attatch them to your microwave.:cool:

To attatch them to a cult classic such as a golf is a mistake as it will look sh!t, and you will officially be classed as a chav.

only one question why?
Title: Re: NEONS for golf mk 2
Post by: dasachmo on 21 August 2005, 12:57
LOL, not the answer i was expecting but fair enuff, i aint gna put them on the outside, just inside on the footwell or something,

the reason y, i dunno, just seem cool to me, ok, they do look a bit chav, but i reckon proper chav is sticking them on a battered up nova or something, putting them INSIDE the golf i reckon near the footwell just kinda kool


like opening the door and seeing a bluey glow seeping out is kinda cool, u have 2 admit? ey?

ok, ok, i get it, i aint gna put neons in there, partly coz i can;t be arsed to find em, and partly coz im coming to my senses, and also partky coz the the other owners in our mk2 golf club in bham gave a bollocking when they found out.

btw, is making the exhaust sound really loud by changling the muffler or exhaust tip chavish?

Well im currently installing neons in my golf mk2 (parcel shelf and footwells), n i dont care if i do look like a chav, i like em so therefore thats all the opinion I need. Just thought I'd share seeing as due to a bashing you've decided against doing it. All I have to say is baaaa baaaa. Beat me up now if you wish!

Ive fitted some blue LED's in my dash switches and i think they look chav-ish to me.

personal taste at the end of the day. do what you want :wink:

I absolutely hate neons in all fairness, but I have only seen one example when I didn't hate them at all, but that was on a 1000bhp supra and the neons were very subtley in the footwell.... and I think I only forgave it on the basis it was a show car  :smiley:

Im glad you changed your mind... better spending that money on go faster shiny bits instead  :cool: or coilovers  :laugh:

Spinning wheel trims?

Or... An LED Gearknob. ooooohh.

oh, but 1 thing i have to do is put a LED gear nob, ma mate said he found a silver one which has a black top, and its got the numbers in neon blue glowing like on one of those magic 8 balls, and then when u change gear, the number u go to turns red, coz theres a tilt switch in there, sounds pretty cool, but then again, i wanna keep ma car as old skool as poss, so might just stick to the normal one

Get the black neons and don't forget to smile in the night  :grin:

tbh - if you can get very low wattage ones, that give a subtle glow in the footwells, then i think it would look good, maybe just a white neon, i have the bulbs in the side of the console - came with the car and are standard on the german ones i think and they are great if you drop your keys :)

I'd use them in a stereo install but only in the boot, as I don't like to make my car into a rolling invite for some drugged up ******* to break in.
I've got 2 blue led fans to go into my stereo install in the boot to keep my amps cool (they will be hidden)
