Decided to have a jaunt to Kielder with the wife and kids today.
Good opportunity to take some nice pics....... of the brab!

Nooooo.... we're not the kind of family to dump our rubbish :)
Had a lovely picnic at the reservoir and a meal on the way back home too.
Glorious day.

I think those are on to remind people it's a Brabus!
Whoever had it before me has put them on the internal pull handles too...... as if there aren't enough of them!
The rear Smart badge had rainbow coloured vinyl's stuck to it too. They were swiftly removed.
The car was a joy to drive and the day out was fantastic.
Range is showing 350 miles too. Really impressed with B road driving.

Ohh, and she's been christened "Turnip" by the kids. Strangely likable name me thinks  :D

just some 'darkness' (aka 'fly-eyes') added to those rear lights and it will look VERY mean ;)

And then do the 'blacked out' headlight surround mod and it will be complete.....

Not looking to do too much to her as I think they look very good standard.
The lights are one thing to consider though.....
I've been looking at fleebay for 3m wrap and there's literally thousands of hits.
Is there a specific item name I need to type in to refine the search? (fly eyes returns nothing)

Edit - Found it (Baby had me up til 3am so brains just not kicked in yet!)

Very apt :)

Looks very good.
The flyeyeskit website, when I click on the black wrap, says it can be used on the front lights too.
Very tempting but is this legal in the UK?
Turnip would like quite nice with all her lights done :)

Been inspired now (wifes gonna hate me for tinkering with another car again)
Wotcha reckon to this kind of look on a black brab?
Front grille, mirrors, roof, bit of the top door surround and maybe a few parts of the front splitter all orange.
Maybe the rear spoiler too. Looks like it will work.
Gonna get into photoshop to see what it'll look like.

Looks familiar ;)

Love the DS3 Racing

The fly eyes is MOT compliant as the wording states something along the lines of "significantly reduced output"

I have it on my sidelights at the front and it passed the MOT last year.
