Smile UK F-body & vette owners!

Just like to get an idea of how many people are based here in the UK & where you're located?
Maybe we could get somethin together or meet up!

Hi there Martin,
How's things with your SS ? Did you get out with it on Saturday, it was good weather here in North West
Hi Dan, How about you good buddy, that red monster still a daily driver?
I was looking to put possibly put some underbody neons/l.e.d's What do you think, would it look cheap, On Friday evening, when it had gone dark, I took the WS6 into the town center.
Just did a bit of slow prowling with just the side lights, I still have the front amber side lights
When I slowly drive the front of this looks as MEANER THAN HELL !
Oh my God !

Check out these LEDs; they're bad ***... not your typical light kit. I have the underbody kit and floor wells. Check out the vids.

Mmm, yea, the underbody led's might look a bit cheap.
How do you feel about footwell lighting that will come on or off when the doors are opened/closed?

lighting on the interior i think looks damn cool! It's just outside, i know how cool & downright nasty your car looks at night & i think the neons would detract from that!

Hi Blackhawk.
Paul is it ?
Glad you made it through the sva.
If I remember right, didn't the inspectors give you a hard time about your door mirrors?

Yep that's me.
In the end I had to get a company called SVA UK to do the work for me and they just put spacers on the mirrors, but what ticks me off is that the mods I had done were fine for MOT standard, and SVA UK put the lights back to how I had them after it got its ticket.
Thanks for the comment on the shine, that was down to the amazing Zaino polish I use.You guys must check that stuff out, it is way superior to the s**t you get at Halfords!
Anyway there are some cool cars appearing on this thread and I hope to see some of you if you come down South(Wheels Day -Aldershot good Friday, Fort Brockhurst-Gosport Easter Sunday, Hampshire Paegant of motoring - Broadlands,Romsey)

50/50 alot of people love the cars because they are different, alot of people have never seen them before! Then there's the bunch of people because of programs like Top gear think all American cars are non handling,slow,heavy pieces of junk that are only good for straight lines & drink fuel like it's going out of fashion!
Lets say we like to re-educate them!

Unfortunately it's often true that because of the media, people here still think of American cars as "yank tanks".(I really hate it when they say that)
Some are suprised when I tell them how wrong they are and sometimes I cant be bothered to get sucked into an argument so I just say that since they don't actually own/drive one they are talking ****!
