Thank you very much.I'm guessing you mean Why put the neon's on the car? if that is so the plan is to make it different to most and make it kinda street race looking! and i think no one else has put neon lights on there minor lol.

Cheers
John

The car build looks fine - but in the video I only see a faint red glow wobbling about - no Minor ? The Saxo Neds will just laugh at you - because I don't hear any BOOM BOOM noises to go with the lights?
It's not at all to my taste - but then - you have chosen 'moggiemadman' as your name so I guess we were forewarned!

Well I've always wanted a car like KITT (Knight rider) I never thought of converting a minor into one!

Hows it going in general then?

I see no pictures of welding, rot or much else in the 'build' posting.

I like the neons, be a good little thing to have on when you're parked up.
You can even get 'keyfob' switches to control stuff like this so you can switch them on remotely.

Re under car Neons. You can be done by plod if you turn them on even when parked if it's a public road. Show use only, and the switch to turn them on should be external to the cockpit e.g. in the boot or under bonnet.

i rebuilt the car last year,It passed its mot :) why there isn't much built pictures and details was that i found the owners club and minor mania 5 months into my build or so.yes it does come with a key fob but i need to replace the battery.

Ermmm.......no one in England perhaps!! :-? I have blue neon lights on my 'little boy racer' car for the past year or so....see link below

the highlights are 'angel eyes', the same as the BMW and the car has been sprayed the Alfa Romeo Flip colour.

I've seen a couple of them with neons, but superbright LED's are the next new thing...
