Lighting up my Shark Gills...

Now get yourself straight down to McDonalds car park ...... And hang out with the Saxos ....... ;)

Just NO

Mmm, not too sure to start with but as will all things car related its all down to your own views.
It is quite an impressive look but just not certain.

Well done though mate, would never have thought of something like that myself ;0)

i quite like it, as long as it isnt all the time, been thinking about this since i got my car, was thinking about red though? obviosly not all the time though just a wee additional thing, although not sure now ive got he gills darker....

all the times we talked about doing this I con't believe you finally did it!

looks a fantastic colour too. Wish I had shark gills now

I want that in mines as well but red for me.

Looks awesome, nothing wrong with that colour but needs matching LED sides to pull it together. Did you mount the bulbs at the top of the metal inner to the gill?

i like it looks good

I do keep looking at this & I'll be honest the more I look at the pic the more I'm liking it..:clap2:

Kev you maddie :D

I'm loving this!! Wanted to do something like this to mine when i had it! Just a shame you didn't get all the way to the front of the fins!

Oh you had just had to say it didn't you. We were all thinking it but you just came out with it. Respect.

Still looks awesome.

Someone had to say it!! LoL. Abit of friendly constructive criticism!

I want red in mine!!!

I called first dibs in red.:shoot2:

I'm liking the idea, not sure about the execution based on the 1 photo.

Not my cuppa, but it does look kinda cool :)

I would need to light up all the gills but what a great concept. Would go well with my centre console LEDs!

Grimmy, we could red gill buddies!

Nae bad ;)

Nice, nothing wrong with a bit of extra lighting, plus nothing wrong with putting your own stamp on YOUR car, as long as you like it, who give's a flying **** :w00t::w00t:

Thanks for all the comments good and bad, but it was just a quick thing that I did 2 weeks ago, I ordered some blue SMD LED's 30cm long strip solder some wires and stuck them on, really easy to do, but getting my sausage fingers through the slats was a bit tricky.

Yeah, I know it doesnt go all the way to the front, just the strip wasnt long enough, will order some more longer strip, but as I say it was a quick mod.

looks very nice !
if i would do it on my black car
i would make it orange so when the turn signal turns on it also will flash from the shark grill :)

ehh, think youll find it was me:P

Never seen your post ritchy lol:thumbsdown:

its okay i'l let you do it if you want lol

Don't want to do it for me do you lol

get the bits n sure:)

Was only messing ritchy but nice of you to offer mate.

trying to figue out where I could put these on EX259... any ideas?

your face?

not bad i think it need to grow on me i was thinkin of doing this to the front grill of my mk1 but then i decided not to

Me likey likey:D look smart for a quick trial there bud:D

under-helmet neons might not be very practical... or safe :crazy:

haha, be like talledega nights with the sticker across the window

Like the idea but not sure tbh. Rozzers will probably pull you for it being blue and not amber as it is a sidelight.

i do like it was on my list of to do, along with led rings in the tail lights, did you just wire them in to the sidelights ?.

any further away shots kev?

if i where to wire mine id wire tem off the interior light just so they came on when unlocking or opening the doors, as pointed out would be illegal to drive with them

that would be how id wire them up aswell

on it's own switch would probably be the only legal way
