Can't say this is a mod that will make the car look good, given the look of new shape Audi's, Porsches and the new 212 that sports these things.

Perhaps Helen would be good enough to put up pics to persuade us otherwise. The 230 is an elegant shape and should be left as so, IMHO.

But I haven't touched the shape of the car, I've just put blue LEDs underneath.

Just hope there nowhere near the lifting points of the car, other wise when we sort out Helens leg problem, they will be no-more!!

That's where they welded the mounting points on.

It would have been just as effective if you had fitted illuminated sills and cut holes in the floor so that they shine through

not illegal to have switched on. they can only be an offence if the SOURCE of the light can be seen. many boy racers had these 'neons' fitted to make their car look 'cool' but fitted the front 1 in view behind thelower grille instead of out of sight behind the lower bumper/splitter area. those were the ones who got tickets! out of sight its just a blue glow under the car and cant be classed as a light then, hence no ticket

You can get the same blue underlit effect by running over a police car, preferably with something like a 44 ton truck........

His were underneath the car not at the front or rear. The policeman claimed that he could see them from behind the vehicle, therefore he was ticketed for showing a light other than red (orange indicator) at the rear of the vehicle.
