stig247 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 nice, do you actually need the switch i thought the display switches off itself when theres not current draw etc like caps do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXXXtreme arosa Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) nice, do you actually need the switch i thought the display switches off itself when theres not current draw etc like caps donah the fuses are drawing all the time there for the clocks and stuff inside i think. led's only go off when the fuses blow. ill only have them turned on at shows and stuff like that or when i wana show it all off style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> i want to get a bonnet/boot/door pin so it comes on when the bonnets opened and off when its closed. but got to source one first so the switch is tempory really.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Adjustable-NEW-Metal...1QQcmdZViewItemsumin like this would be ideal! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited December 16, 2006 by eXXXtreme arosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penry Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Car looks hideous, like its driven into a branch of ripspeed then crashed into a fibreglass factory. I would have thought Alpine would have been able to come up with a better demo car than this really. Still, awesome ICE in it style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shades:" border="0" alt="shades.gif" /> If i was you id stick with red, blue would look odd as if you'd bought it off someone else and was in the wrong colour. Especially if you intend to show it off people would be a bit confused i think. Personally id go all red, maybe a bit of metal flake to give it the shimmer effect?But as we all say, its your car, you bought it, you drive it so its your choice. Good luck whatever you decide to paint it with style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Alpine should concentrate in making quality audio again, rather than getting the Max power readers.Makes me sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
