Like an R8 BABY! Day Light Runners from Parksafe

I am a massive Will Smith fan and adored I Robot both as Asimov’s series of books and of course with Will and the bloke who played Farmer Hoggett in Babe. The movie had the most solid product placement from Audi with underground massive-speed freeways and automatic, self-driving cars that were too fast to take manual control ofunless you were Will Smith of course. The R8 is the star of the Iron Man franchise of movies and Tony Stark is a dude all men would like to be. Thus, the super-sexy row of blindingly bright LED lamps on the front of the R8 and many new Audis and other cars since, are part of a sexy wave of better safety in motoring. Myself, I drive a Swedish motor that has been doing that, albeit much more dully, for decades.
But anyone who reckons they can retro-fit such a lamp system needs to have first the right, neat kit of bits from a company that bloody knows just how scary it is to drill a damn great hole in someone’s car to fit something, and then they need big hairy bravery themselves.
But Parksafe’s boys see this shizzle as peasy as you don’t even have to perfectly colour-code and paint-to-match the sensors to match a posh car, as they are lamps and you don’t paint them. Thus it isn’t really car audio dealers, so much as professional body bods who dare this stuff.
Anyway, I am all over them like a rash and have thieved some stuff! First is a set of the Parksafe DRL 10001 lamps.

And while I will do an unboxing video when they get here, I shall be swagging them to someone.. but the condition is, the car needs to be able to benefit from the DRLs and we will need to do coverage of them with you in shot and ideally on camera for video clips once installed. Location is less vital but to get to the Ace Café or else NW London some time once installed will be vital.
So do you wanna look like an R8 Baby? If so, chip in and ask below here, or on the @TheAdamRayner twitter feed or on the Talk Audio Face book or even via my OWN Facebook, as I will splurge this out now. You wanna know something funny? Well I think it is. I was TOLD I had a fan page on FB before I had my own account. Went on and yes, twenty people were on it. I was thrilled and eventually, when the bloke who started it asked, I took the admin of it.. anyway, I offered these there first and while I got a couple of old mates asking.. I failed utterly! Chortle.. so now these are open. That said, if you can prove member ship of the TA privilege club well that will count some points in your favour.
But in reality, we all know the editor (that’ll be me) will be most swayed by the right CAR! So, whaddaya got?
