Lightbulb Flamer Kits. A bad idea?

Are they a bad idea? Has anyone on here got one? Can it damage your car ie paintwork or engine or exhaust?

Cheers

flamer kits are just a bit of fun.....good for shows.....not for the roads.
Never had a problem with flames on my paintwork.

They're a great idea - they give other people something to laugh at...

A bit like fitting 'big' rally style mudflaps to a road car then

or decals on your side windows stating your name.(together with a national flag).

DONT get one because it will make you GAY WHAT A LOAD OF $HIT

Some people need to get a life on this site

If you want one then go for it

If fitted correctly it will do no harm to the car or paintwork

How can a flamer kit be gay?

Is there male flames and female flames?

Each to their own!

Individualism is an aspect of each of our cars, otherwise we would all drive blue cars with gold wheels am I not right?

Gay flames.... I like that

<Matt doing a dreadful scouse accent>

Alright Alright, calm down calm down !

<Crap accent off again !!!>


Flames out of the exhaust is COOL - but only if it's a byproduct of a highly tuned moter Makes me smile when I hear that tell tale sound

Flamer kit ? No thanks, but each to their own. Wouldn't say that their gay, but definitely a bit Max Power.....
