LED display in rear window!!!

Post by TWH » Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:13 am

Oh dear, I came upon a 6 saloon the other day which had an LED display flashing messages in the rear window - why oh why would you do such a thing?!! I'd expect this from the lovely Corsa down the road from me with 6 exhausts :roll: !

Am I in the minority here?

could be fun, if it was an RS6 you could always display "running in - please pass" and after 1k miles "run in - now try it"

Came across a dark blue volvo 850 some years ago on the A1. He had a rear LED message for me 'POLICE SLOW DOWN' at which I did and away he went like the clappers...............arh those were the days

That is sad!

I'm waiting for some seriously pants mods on other S/RS models now the prices are becoming more affordable, I reckon now the older S3's have dropped closer to the £5k mark, they'll be a few down the golden arches with neon's and chrome rims soon :(

i remember a few years ago following a car that suddenly illuminated a sign in the rear window that said "stop" so like a nipple i did only to realise it was a third brake light.

Ahh... I always wanted one of these... only to use on certain occasions... such as to bait an M3 or an S4Woody pilotted M5 :P - or to tell a knob to stop riding my ar5e (that sounds good eh?).

I was afterall the guy who posted about wanting dump valves... maybe I should head for the golden arches now and never return :(

Don't think it was me but I put one in a week or so ago ready for a car rally in April.

The reason i say "don't think it was me" is because I've hardly used it.

Thought it would be a laugh for the rally.

At the moment there are phrases like:

How close to my ar$e do you want to be

2 Fast $ You

Lights would be good

Hope you've got good breaks!

Ar$e Hole

Not really had the chance of using it as the car's been in Audi most of the time :(

Whether it stays on the car after the rally I'm not sure. With some good phrases i think you could have a good giggle.


I've heard a few people talk about Clarkson and an LED display.

Is this on the net somewhere?
