door poppers :)
its solenoid (Electro magnet) it goes in door rather then handel being pulled to release the doors the electro magnet does riged up to a switch (Key Fob) so you can open ur doors from outside with a push button like the imobeliser for unlocking ur car.

One of the better vinyls... if your car is japanese and hosts a turbo :)

As before, not what others think, if you like it, its cool!
I don't think you should put anything like that on the car at all. It's like those boys that have all the motorsport stickers slapped all over their cars. It looks OK on the track, but you look a right wally on the street.

The way to get admiring glances is to keep it noticeable, but tastefull and subtle and not by turning your car in to some sort of road freak show with seven mechano spoilers on the back, neons all over the place, blinking leds, loadsa stickers and a dustbin sized exhaust is a definite no..no.

If I see a car going down the street that has been tastefully modified well I just think that looks nice and give it a little nod of appreciation, however if I see some chavved up luminous freak mobile coming down the road, scraping its exhaust on the tarmac going over every tinsy winsy little bump I just think. What a ******?

So my advice mate is read the Mods forum befor doing anything drastic as you will learn what is OK and what will make you look a right pillock. If you're not sure put a post up and ask for opinions. I have done this a couple of times me sel and has probably saved me from making some daft decisions and looking like a dipstick going down the road.

to be fair, do what you want to do, people may well laugh at you going down the road etc, but as long as ure happy with the way ure car looks thats fine.

what i cant stand is body kits, spoilers, and front splitters that just DONT follow the lines of a car. they look out of place and rediculous. i wont win any friends by saying this buy the RGM front splitter? errrrrm NO! looks wrong.

Not to my taste matey but if you like it thats the main thing!

Write all the ideas down you have for your car and get them photoshopped, this will give you a general idea of what your car ill turn out like, thats what i did and ive still made loads of mistakes and wasted money along the way but hey thats cars!!
