Ha ha ha.
Looking better already leeboy. The wheels look good. What else have you got planned for it?
Will you be lowering the suspension? tinted glass? furry dice?
What have you done so far?

clifford make good alarms, just depends on how much you want to spend!
shop around on ebay once youve decided on what you want, and then have a go at installing it yourself! its all good...

When you are looking at installing the alarm consider getting it professionally installed as if you install it youself and anything happens then the insurance company might get funny about paying out as they will say that you installed it incorrectly or something like that.
As far as I am aware there is a limit to how loud alarms can be as they can be a nuisance as well as a antitheft deterant.
If you want it to bring down your insurance bills then check with your insurance company as to what you need to do and what alarms that they recommend so to keep them happy. Fitting the wrong alarm may not reduce an insurance bill.

agreed. Although i don't have an alarm in mine. Car crime aint really a problem over here. Next thing i'm doing to mine is putting spot lights on the grille, stripes on the bonnet and union jack on the roof . |
