Oh, the shame...

Pardon the dodgy camera work, it was very dark and the camera batteries were low so I guess it struggled a bit...

Right, so I may have mentioned in passing that I was interested in this mod. Wifey dutifully bought me a kit for my birthday last April. Now, TBH, I was going to do this after installing mahosive alloys and uber-low springs. However since the kit had been bought I decided to go ahead anyway.

Problems arose when the dogs ate the instructions and control unit. Therefore I took myself down ye olde scrapyard and liberated a hazard light switch which I substituted for the dummy switch in my console. Now when I press the switch the Green Dream goes from innocent motor vehicle



To uberised glow-mobile of death!



I'm so very, very sorry about this...

Here, let me get you your coat....

Noooooo, chavtastic! Still, on the bright side, at least it won't be long until all the bulbs are smashed from stones on the road though.

Pff, don't hate the player, hate the game ^^

They're LED strings, not neons, so hopefully they'll survive the mean streets of Southampton...

I've taken to thinking of it as Integral Diode Illumination Optical Trickery, or Project I.D.I.O.T

Repoman is an awesome film!

Take some pics in to work.

Maybe your employers will want to copy it across the fleet.

Project IDIOT phase 2 is now complete - I have turned my dashboard blue. The camera wouldn't capture the effect very well, so you'll have to use your imaginations a bit. But the red bits are still red and the orange bits (including the mile counter) are now blue... I managed to break the clock whilst turning that blue but that's easily remedied with a run to the scrapper. Word to the wise - if you split your clock, it's full of teeny tiny springs that ping out all over the place
