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?
-
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?
-
no :sad:
-
strange thing to do to a mark 2 golf!!
Get yourself a saxo or corsa or something!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
neons no.. leds.. maybe if ur replacing interior dash bulbs... but please don't pu them on a mk2 golf.. u give us all a bad name... bu then again, you'll make my car look better ??
alex.. i agree with the microwave bit.. have u seen that advert? FAF chavs n microwaves... :grin: :grin:
-
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?
-
Personally no really loud exhausts on my valver - but I think you'd be forgiven for having one! :grin:
-
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:
-
What about fitting one of them massive spoilers to the roof?
Spinning wheel trims?
LED Number Plate lights?
Or... An LED Gearknob. ooooohh.
-
Beat me up now if you wish!
Surely if he was a sheep then he would install them........ to be like all the rest of them... :huh:
/me looks for prodding stick :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :laugh:
-
come on man, i didnt deserve that much of a slating, and no, i aint gonna go fit a surfboard to the back of ma car, or put some cheap LED's with a 9v battery on top of ma number plate,
i am just gna leave it the way it is, the only neon glow in the car will be from my system
-
i am just gna leave it the way it is
Amen. :cool:
-
Boom boom shake da room, stick em on youll be able to see my spankin standard white valver arches better as i come past! Neons, i ask you! This is Volkswagen here!
Seconding the Amen !
-
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
-
Dude LED gear nob in any form......... :cry: Please don't just for my sanity if no-one elses.... :grin:
-
:shocked:
-
NO NEONS!!!!
I didnt seen any Golfs in "The Fast and the Furious" did you???
Now Then!!!! :angry:
Knobby!
-
Ah but wasnt there a jetta? Close to a golf.
-
there is a golf in need for speed underground 2 tho, jus saying,....
and they let u put those annoying vinyls and neons and spinning rims on there ( nothing against spinning rims, just dont like the 9.99 clip on ones from halfords)
-
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)
