Pic request. Neon/led under or in Mini

Like the title reads.. I am looking for pics of people who have Neon/LED under your mini or inside the pass area. I wanted to put a small neon or led bar in the hood scoop and under the car for fun. wont have it on all the time. And I know the laws when it comes to this mod. Just want to see pics or have people who have done this to comment.

There is one guy local around my area that has white underbody and wheel wells...looks awesome (plus he has entire custome interior lighting)

I plan on getting orange underbody, wheel well, and grill LEDs some time in the future

I wanted to see how the rear neon/led mounts if you have a Mini S. I know the battery box and exhaust is back there. My mini is IB/W. I wanted to get blue under the car and the blacklight color for the hood scoop and wheels.

You could always place two shorter lights on the rear. One on each side of the exhaust.

That looks cool. The idea of two smaller lights in the rear didn't even enter my mind. Thanks for that idea.

head over to Oznium.com most of Nano's lights came from there ...
If I remember right he used the beefy led strips for the undercar (easier to mount and flexible)

not a mini but this is my car

Sorry, I don't have a camera right now to take pictures of my set up. All my LEDs are white on the outside, and purple on the interior. Andy's Autosport has a nice underbody kit for a decent price. I got mine from VM Innovations on eBay, and it is great.

One more thing. If you do this to your car, disregard all the negative remarks you'll get. There are some die hard people who seem to think that LED and neon are too ricey and don't think they belong on a Mini. Do what you want, it's your car.

I saw the Ozuim web page. I would probably get everything from there or Ebay. I like that pic posted above. Was t hard to wire everything?

It takes time and effort to get it installed and properly wired, remember to install proper fuses on all the different accesories ... I've got three sets of circuits , one for interior , one for exterior , and the third is strobes...

I used these to fuse the different lights

the led's are great to show when a fuse goes
