[urq] Pictures and upgrades , folluw up .

[Patrick Carlier]

Well, I seem to get most reactions about 
the led upgrades and get "flamed" on the flame painting idea; . 

Maybe I should elaobarte a bit  . 

I intend to get rid of almost alll light bulbs , and replace them with leds . 
Not to make a "rice" car , but simply to avoid changing bulbs every couple of months . 
Especially in the instrument cluster and switches those can be a real pita . 
Fi the swiches left and right of the instrument cluster  are or were illuminated . 
I'll bet a crate of fine belgian beer none of you have al switches still working . 
I've replaced those tiny little bulbs on several occasions , only to have them brake down 
again after a short period of time . A led , can be white or colored , cures this once and for all 
and as a side effect it produces no heat . 
So I guess I'm ok with that ? 
I most certainly won(t be putting blue neon under chassis or anything like that 


About the flames 
Yes that's a difficult one , and I haven't fully made up my mind yet . 
DId this on my first car , 25 years ago and some people in the village 
still remember it . "Oh was that you with the flaming renault " 
Nice . But then again I'm not 18 anymore am I . 
So as I accept some the  arguements presentet here , I went to a toy store 
yesterday and bought me a plastic Ur-q scale model construction kit .
I'll dig upp the old airbrush , and I'll do the flame paintig on the scale model  first 
and then see how it looks . 

About the rest of the modifications 
Nobody seemed to have any objections to  the mechanical upgrades .... I wonder why :) 


Thx for all the reactions , I'll upload some more pictures as I move on
