How to Girly up a Car?

[The Yeti]

As said a number of times above, its a very personal choise, you could spend a fortune and she wouldnt like it, SCA only have decoration stuff (IMHO) so get her a gift voucher to there and let her go crazy, then you just fit it (whilst cringeing) and every ones happy

Keep it clean and tidy and respectable, and let her determine what she wants to do with it, or whether she wants to keep it or trade for a more suitable vehicle.

It's not what anybody wants to hear but I do agree with you.

And second the comment about Playboy stickers = wide load on board.

Crash it into something.

Fit an auto gearbox, then show her how to stall it. Although, my missus figured that one out all on her own.

Reverse at high speed into a pole.

Swap the pedals around. That way, she will drive it like a girl, even if she doesn't know how.

Oh yeah, as has been said, make sure you kerb the wheels good and proper.

Fit parking sensors that don't work, that will improve the "girly" look over time.

I wonder how long before that post gets deleted.

I remember watching an american sitcom many many years ago Im sure it was Full House or something but the dad bought the daughter a car and COVERD it with reflective cats eyes and tape, you could not see the paint for the reflectors

Ok, Car is Galaxy Blue.
She hates Pink, “Frangipani,” and absolutely loathes Super Crap.
The ideas regarding the stereo are good.
I’m thinking of some subtle seat covers and matching mats, with maybe blue, turquoise, or purple trim.
Perhaps a very fine matching pinstripe and trim.
It has standard Futura alloys, could maybe paint the black backing?

PS: The AU WAS designed to appeal to women. Definitely the most girly Falcon built

With the right motivation, ANY car can be made a girly car.

This is what happens when you ask a group of primarily males how to girly up a car.

When my ex got her first car (EF)...we got some seat covers, floor matts, steering wheel cover and a whole bunch of car care stuff.

Put a Pink roll cage in it!!

[Ringo]

+1 Pink Roll Cage.

Increases safety and is in a girl colour.

[spooty]

I think if you would like to do something nice for her maybe put on a decent exhaust and some nice seat covers that dont have random cartoon characters on it.....and get the rims powdercoated black.... girls can have nice cars with out sticking pink cr*p to it !

PS..Had to laugh at a few of the comments on what a girls car is supposeto look like :p .....I have no gutter rash - no dents - and most importantly no frangipani stickers!

[bigsta]

I always thought the frangipani stickers was a islander thing ???

Originally, but everyone soon decided they wanted to make their cars pretty too, and with the crazy increase in demand all the shops started selling them.
Just like those bloody My Family stickers!
Started off with a few now everyone has em!

^^^^ lol i saw that in the fail thread and was just about to post it but you beat me to it

Frangipani is plumeria right? Ok, pretty and fragrant, but she's not into it, so pass on the other floral stuff too. Unless she's obviously into Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pooh Bear and Friends, Hello Kitty or other characters, pass on those too. You'd know b/c she'd be carrying HK purses and wearing HK accessories and blinging her cell with those characters in crystals. Not all girls like those.

As far as colours? Galaxy blue is what she drives, I'd suggest a lavender color, or something with both lavender and silver, or using black and lavender, a lavender on the light side b/c galaxy blue is darker. Adding turquoise with galaxy blue is a whole lot of blue (unless blue is her favourite colour).

Make it too girlie and like someone else posted, she'll attract oftentimes unwanted attention from guys. Probably not something her daddy would be happy about. Not all attention is good, sometimes it's just creepy and scary.

Some of these suggestions cracked me up tho... nice try! If you're not sure? Take her shopping and have fun together, she may just want a banging sound system instead of bling and colours!

Honestly Bud,

Save your money on the car. Leave it as is. Take her to Tiffany and Co. or Chanel, or Louis Vuitton etc and have her pick out something nice, A nice purse or bag or piece of jewelery will mean more to her LONG after the AU is gone.

[pottery beige]

just put a decent stezza in it.... done....

[AC/DC]

If its for your Daughter, , think SAFETY !...

Install a stereo that has Ipod controls on the head unit, so she wont be fumbling with the ipod and the stereo !

Or a unit that has USB function on the front..... save her swapping CD's all the time.....

[flappist]

Fit a mobile phone jammer that will prevent mobile phones being used while it is moving, or stopped, or actually within 10m of it........

[In Focus]

You need the Falcon equivalent of these...

Livin' up to your username. Maybe you should just drive it and it will have the desired image?

[99AUXR]

i do agree with him though.

[VioletGT]

cobwebs around the side mirrors and rear bar.

My other half read some of the posts in this thread, and she said if she ever catches up with some of the posters here you will...

suffer greatly
