Mr A tells me he is in the process of making a intercooler inlet protector out of stainless in the shape of 2 lips in Pink...

Got the eyes, nose, and now the lips are on there way...

Watch this space...

Mr A prefers the fuller look like michelle pheffifferffer...

I'm getting worried... He may prefer Blingo soon...

Nice badge....

Pink sidelights to match too eh?

Did you do the rear badge?

I know this is a bit late now... But if you had cut out a ford shaped oval on your grille, ever so slightly smaller than the badge, you could have backlit the ford badge with a white led,which of course would illuminate pink at night!

It looks good when its done! I did it years ago with a ford orion...

*(then everyone wanted one...

Come on mate that sounds like hard work. If she wants it illuimated it she can shine a torch on it.

No I haven't done the rear badge as yet. She looks standard from the rear at the moment.

I have a gr8 flutterby to put on the bonnet in purple and pink and grey to match the colour scheme, but Mr A doesn't think it will look right. I will find a piccy and ask for vote.

I'm assuming the flutterby is vinyl chell&ady? With a backing paper on it?

You could use very small pressed flat splodges of blu-tak on the backing of the vinyl, then temporarily stick it in place on the bonnet,to see if you like it or not?

Hiya...

Yeh the flutteby is vinyl as you say.. That's a good idea with the blue tack.. It came all the way from hong kong and I thought it was quite nice, but hey...

I'll give it a go in daylight..

Tesco... I didn't know they did blingo colours (pinks) I have to go to Burnley for the nearest one to me 16 mile round trip, but ya know it would be worth a visit...Cheers..

Here is a piccie of the flutterby not on car yet.

Do you think it looks tacky?

I was thinking of the bonnet..

blu tac it in place like BDC suggested, it's the only way you'll get an idea. I suppose you could photoshop it in place? I quite like it though, how big is it?

B*Witched Blingo · Post by **B*Witched Blingo** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:10 pm

48 cm long I think. About as deep as A5 paper.

I thought it would complement the lines of the Bonnet as it has the raised bits that are a bit triangular shaped..centred over the Ford badge.

Or on the roof, so when raised it looks like its about to fly off..

Not been to look for the trims yet sorry - not forgotten just a bit busy - I will do it this week though.
