How to Girly up a Car?

[Crazy Dazz]

Fixing up an AU for my daughter. Naturally the important things are brakes, tyres, suspension, etc. Followed by the engine.
But I am also after ways to pretty it up for her. Some nice seat-covers are an obvious choice, but beyond that I’m stumped.
Keep in mind that she considers any conventional tarting up to be “bogan.”

It's a very personal thing. Perhaps ask her what she prefers directly, of just get her a gift voucher from Super Cheap and let her decorate and personalise her new ride as she sees fit.

The pink number plate surrounds that are raising money for Breast Cancer research. Subtle addition and for a good cause. I think Super Cheap Auto sell them.....

Yeah I would say these would be the best, non-bogan thing.

However, the more girly the car looks, the more looks in it is gonna get from guys. Just sayin...

Probably very, very similar to when I have to drive this bloody thing.
Just image this with P-Plates, driven to the beach by me with a mate in the passengers seat. (when my car broke down)
NOT GOOD

But as others have mentioned ... mods are a personalised thing. A gift voucher is a good idea.

Noooooooo!!!! I was going to suggest not falling for frangipani stickers.

Going by my nieces Astra convertible, I think just leave her with it, the clothes, empty drink containers and other stuff will tend to accumulate on the back seat and floor, then on to the front seat and floor.

"Frangipani stickers." and Bugs Bunny ones too .

Took the words right out of my mouth Buggo . God but I hate driving my wifes car .

lol

& as some of you chaps have mentioned- the standard issue car-length gouge and car park dents are essential criteria.

[Polyal]

Id sooner give her a voucher for Autobarn and let her choose than get something she doesn't like.

Please dont put any playboy or "crazy *****" stickers on the car, Ive never understood women that do that.

[matty88]

Buy her a Getz

Or else pink numberplate lights and neons, and a full car detail inside and out

[Sorted]

Playboy stickers on a car usually means big girl on board

Does your daughter have an iPod or iPhone as if she does prob better idea us upgrading the stereo so it connects to the iPod or iPhone so she can play here iTunes on it.

Or if she down loads music or has alot on her computer upgrade the stereo with USB connection

Painting it pink would make it girly.

Very cheap to do too; Buy her a red car, don't polish it and sit it out in the sun for a year or two.

bedazzle it

What colour is the car to start with? Some colours just don't work with pink. Pick a suitable complementary colour to match the car, but not too strong or intense, pink if it works, and just use that to highlight the contrasts that ford did. Grill, pin stripe around the bumpers, bump strips on the doors etc. and do the wheels. Get some alloys and paint them as well.

what about those terrible love heart exhaust tips? heh

[GreenR]

To the OP. You said it yourself that she considers tarting up "bogan". So as many have suggested buy here a gift voucher. Because you don't want to buy her something only for her to not like it.

oh and yes to making sure she can play music through her Ipod/Iphone. Oh and maybe having bluetooth headunit. It's not really girly but I think it's something far better and that she will find use for

One of my friend's have these on her silver AU. Subtle and isn't overly noticeable. Something that the OP can consider

[TheInterceptor]

My sister put a blue die on the rear view mirror, put in floor mats also blue to match the stereo i put in, and plugged her ipod in. Done simple done.
Then we changed the T bar light to blue aswell....and then put in blue footwell lights....and a blue xenon done light....

Just let her choose everything, it will be much less painful.
