Third Breaklight Cover on E-Bay

philster_d · September 3, 2005, 11:04

I can probably do something over the 10th/11th and its only an hour drive, I just looked it up.

Drop me a mail to pditum at icc.co.uk with a suggested time or whatever, unless you get a better offer, maybe from a busty blonde roadster owner. hehe

what happened to this? i've got a red mr2, been thinking would a red light cover look better so it blends in with the car?

Quoteafter that I will be out of the country until November

Could explain it.

Steve is away, I did visit him and we did size up the light.

I also came up with a design for my test one and he has made it.

Some people got a peek at the Go Karting session.

Anyway, I will take some pics soon and we can all see the excelent result.

There was still some discussion of possible methods for the best results and colour match etc, but for me having black it was easier.

Guys.... do you wish me to give it a go? I've no idea what I'll be up to, but if it's just vinyl, I have a close friend who customise vinyl and sticker for a living. I could ask the price for you, and hopefully it will be cheaper since I'm in Malaysia. Just let me know what's required (colour of top of the brakelight, design etc), and I will see to it.

Not back yet - just took a few minutes out to check my emails and noticed there had been new posts on this thread.

Phil - Any feedback on the sneak peeks at the karting?

kanujunkie · October 20, 2005, 23:49

i saw it and at first couldn't work out what was different, so on a black car it works well, not sure on the design but the idea works well

philster_d · October 21, 2005, 08:57

Was all good feedback.

edward.carter · October 21, 2005, 14:56

i got the one off ebay. Seriously thinking about taking it off, basically because looking in mirror when braking im sure people are laughing at it each time it lights up, hmm not keen at all, nope its gotta go.... pretty dangerous too trying not to brake as much so people cant see it lol s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

why would people laugh? all it says is Roadster

also, does it fit ok? the other person who got one said it was crap

philster_d · October 21, 2005, 22:33

They fitted badly with gaps, wait a few weeks and we will have our own customiseable quality option.

i got one they look good and only 3 quid tricky to fit and need trimming slightly but overall ok

edward.carter · October 24, 2005, 08:59

they are a bit tricky to fit and need trimming to size. I just think its a bit cheesy thats all liked the idea to start with but now im not so sure!

Anonymous · October 24, 2005, 23:48

i really have,nt seen what it looks like from the rear , but the lady in my life seems to like it. but then again she,s got 'bling' as a middle name s:x :x s:x

philster_d · October 25, 2005, 09:32

Ill get some photos

SteveJ · October 28, 2005, 07:47

I'm back - just waiting for the photos of the test one on Phil's car to give you an idea of what is possible.

A word of warning though - they aren't going to be cheap. This is mainly due to my vinyl cutter only being able to cut a max width of 285mm which means I have to cut them lengthwise resulting in lots of wasted vinyl, pushing the price up (this could be offset by multiple orders being cut at the same time) At the moment, I cant commit to a production price except to say it is likely to be somewhere around £10 each (but this will include the top cover & P&P)

Also they are a major pain in the butt to fit due to the shape of the brake light - it took me well over an hour to fit to Phil's brake light.

The final snag is colour choice - the only exact match I have is black (not difficult to achieve I know!) All of the others are quite different from the stock paint colours. It should be possible to obtain better colour matches but this will involve quite a large capital outlay which I cant make without getting a better idea of numbers required.

Sorry to be so negative about this project - I just dont want people to be dissapointed if I cant live up to their expectations.

Hey!!! s:D

s:D

If you want an idea of numbers of if people would like them id be well up for a blue one (2000 car) just so you know..... so come on all those with blue cars!!!! make it possible s:D

I'm in for black as long as it doesn't block out too much light.

Anonymous · October 29, 2005, 00:26

i'm up for these too, £10 is still pretty cheap. i've got a red car, would prefer a red one, but black will do

Slacey · October 29, 2005, 07:28

Steve, if / when you go ahead with these can you start a new thread please; the info is going to get lost in here I think.

philster_d · November 1, 2005, 12:08

Its hard to get a picture of.

We were talking about making negatives and then spraying ove the sticker and removing it later.

this will help on non black cars.

Phil

only thing with that, then its pretty much permanent, atleast with a sticker it could be removed at a later date if you wanted to take it off
