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.... :wink: 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... :wink: *(then everyone wanted one... :roll: )

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? :wink:

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..

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?

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..
