Baby Girl :: 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage LS (Garage entry)

[laceygirl]

I've just been shopping again, buying small items, just to see how they look, mostly cheap LED's but I've bought a really bright pair of Blue LED parking lights (T10's), they've got 20 LED's on them, I also purchased a set of 26 LED white parking lights (T10's).. I bought these as my LED headlights are only 30watts, they're very bright, but the current 6 LED parking lights are small. A little help for the headlights from the parking lights won't hurt.... Especially when I'm driving on roads with no street lights....

I've also bought a few 31mm cabin lights, I bought a couple of colours, pink and blue just to play around with them... This car is very masculine looking so a little hint of colour won't hurt....

I've been trolling around to see if there are any other upgrades I can do that won't affect my warranty.... That pretty much means nothing on the motor or exhaust or suspension just yet... They will be done, just not for a while... New wheels are on the cards, just not sure when... The next big purchase are the LED tail lights.... I'm trying to improve fuel consumption so the LED's are top of the list...

Yay, the hubby is going to organise finance tomorrow and we're going to buy a POP GREEN MIRAGE... We missed out on the first one, but there's one here locally... If they will match what we paid for mine, we'll get it here, if not, we'll go back to the guys who sold me Baby Girl and get it from them....

This happened, because hubby's bike broke down again, so I think we're trading it in....

So excited... I'm not adding any chrome to this one... Its going to be black and green... My little Hulk....

We should know by the end of the week... I'll post pics...

This will be mine, as hubby wants the black one,......

Been thinking about what to do to the new Mirage! This one will have no chrome! I have a spare genuine chrome tailgate accent that I will plastidip black and all of the badges will be done the same way! No protection for the bonnet or headlights! Black LED tail lights! I was thinking about getting the front headlight and fog light surrounds and plastidip ping those as well! The front bumper will also be done!

The usual upgrades for the lights, speakers and Sat Nav, boot liner and rear hatch LED strip but that will be it I reckon!
Much faster than Baby Girl!

Pretty excited, we're going to talk to the dealership tomorrow... With any luck I'll have it in 2-3 days....

Pop green is a nice colour.
Can get the bonnet guard and plastidip it black. 20% tint, rain guards and the door piece black helps the look.
Then get your roof gloss wrapped black.

That's pretty much exactly what I was going to do JT... Sat Nav is a must, I love the one in Baby Girl, Weathershields, Mud Flaps, Window Tint.... Should look awesome....

We pay the deposit in the morning... :-) We even got it cheaper than Baby Girl... Not bad for a BRAND NEW CAR....

[laceygirl]

Well both sets of speakers have arrived...



Still waiting on the kill switch and the load resistors for the front indicators and then I can put Stuart to work....

This forum is getting pretty boring.... No one else is making changes to their cars, and I'm talking to myself most of the time....
Might go have a look at some other Mirage forums......

Keeping things in perspective...

I've been on a bunch of forums, and I've NEVER seen anyone as motivated to mod a car as you have been. Following your progress has been fun and non-stop.

Wow thanks Metro.... I've only just noticed that my thread has had 11000 visitors, so there are people reading...

You should see my thread about my swimming pool.... LOL.....

Its 26 pages long also, and it involves two above ground swimming pools..... I modded the crap out of them too......
