JustGav Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Thats correct, I have heard of people having blue undercar neons and have been done for impersonating a police car Yup, I got done for that once in Guildford, when I was younger.... I was tempted to say to the policeman "And how many police cars do you see upside down"... but sensibility kicked in and I took the £30 fine and went on my way....

Pabs Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm going out on a limb here, for fear of being flamed, but: I have neons on my Leon. They were an xmas present, and so felt like I HAD to install them so as not to upset the giver of the present... Thats not to say i don't like them though - i love them! (if done right!) I spent a good 2-3months planning the install, so I got it right. The tubes are so perfectly placed that unless you are virtually under the car, you cannot see the tubes directly. I also went for red coloured neons - a) because they look good and b) so that it wouldnt draw too much attention like blue and green. Finally - so as to not be classed a "chav" - I installed the on/off switch in the boot of my car. Meaning i could only ever have them on when parked up for shows/meets etc, and so that none of my passengers could fiddle with them. I do NOT drive on public roads with them switched on. I still think the rule is that if the tube can be seen, its illegal. I don't know where the police would stand with these new neons - its probably possible for the user to set it up so that they do glow the correct colours.

Guest Nicholas Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 IMO neons are chav, always will be chav and are at home with a shopping list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 If neons are "chav" purely because too many chavs use/own them, then be prepared to be driving a "chav-wagon" soon - far too many supra's being sold to them now! (more affordable cars due to decreasing prices) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
