I do realize that some of this has been done already.

Since this is the premire 124 forum worldwide what better place to have this information? I'm sure (almost sure at least) that Mr. Walking Wookie Himself (Dave) would be more than happy to mirror it on his site.

Just my E500 cents worth, and usually not worth even that....

Kind Regards,

Ron

Ron, you forgot to list "world peace" while you were at it. Or "whirled peas"...

You forgot the underhood light as a Babe-Magnet modification. That's one that most 036 owners have yet to actually realize the potential of.

DerFuror and the Vookster may not want to read past this point.

There are a few "mods" that are turnoffs to the babes too ... specifically the trunk warning triangles, the fire extinguishers, and the inside-spare metal fuel cans. Those remind chicks that your ride could break down and/or catch fire, and they don't like to think depressing thoughts like that.

Also, the coupe-style door lock knobs (the non-grippable type) are excellent because they provide better security. Babes love security and things that make them feel safer.

Some have recently questioned whether nitrous-oxide is a babe magnet. All you have to do is watch the short video that was recently posted by Jelmer of his partner, accelerating in a relatively standard 036. Imagine her getting REALLY put back into that seat due to nitrous-induced incremental acceleration, and I think you have your answer.

Probably the best single mod out there, is the "Glock Box" (or for the women, the makeup box). The only problem with this is when you are cranking major G-forces around corners, with your Michelin Pilot Super Sports that give you 1.3G of lateral acceleration in your 036, the contents of the makeup box tend to shift in flight, so your co-driver should be careful in opening the box after touchdown.

Cheers,
Gerry

The Brabus aluminum door lock pins I got a few years ago had little affect on my girlfriend, she's more of a wheels girl.

I'll bet if you painted that "B" (or the outside barrel) red, there'd be an entirely different reaction.....

Re: Mods that I think would be useful

No. There must not be any turnoffs.

Pay attention to the following:

Ah yes, a.k.a Blonde knobs. The dual action of non-grippable knobs should not be overlooked. These help thwart less-determined thieves from "jimmie-ing" the door open. But also help prevent blondes from escaping the car...something instinctive about grabbing for the knob as opposed to the door handle...and, well, they're non-grippable!:wink:

Some have recently questioned whether nitrous-oxide is a babe magnet...

Likewise, most drivers fail to realize the true potential of nitrous-oxide. Don't waste it all on the car & crushing unsuspecting road opponents. A diverter valve delivering a 100 shot to the front passenger side of the car...well, you can figure the rest out from there!

Probably the best single mod out there, is the "Glock Box" (or for the women, the makeup box)...

I currently can not fully comment on this mod, but I can suggest that some of that surplus pile of parts.com bubble wrap could be utilized for contents protection when driving under such conditions.

You forgot the underhood light as a Babe-Magnet modification. That's one that most 036 owners have yet to actually realize the potential of.

You can not forget this! This is the tip of the Taj Mahal. The "Full" of the Full Monty mod additions. It can only produce its "Full" affect in association with the other lesser, but ever so important, babe mods that have been already been espoused throughout the Forum. A mod not to be trifled with in jest.

Ooh, Class dismissed. I've just been informed a Matt Helm flick is starting on TCM! Now Get out there..and be safe.

There might be one more turn-on (for some girlies), the speaker scene from the film Private Parts comes to mind (no pun intended). My Solo-Baric L5 sub from Kicker has that potential. :twisted:
