How to Design Your Own Sports Car
Car racing enthusiasts go for models that can be easily designed. The design of their cars reflects their personalities. This is also a way to jazz up your car and make it totally your own so there is no mistaking your car from the others.
If you absolutely haven't an inkling as to how to design your car and what design you actually want, let me give you some tips on how to do so:
Step 1: Search online for design inspirations. Go to Google.com and key in sports car designs and you can find some really cool concepts. Just use those designs as your guide to spark an idea from your mind. You can also try visiting showrooms and car shows where car sports enthusiasts gather to show off their cars.
Step 2: Print a sketch model of your car. Also search online for a top view, side view, read view and front view of your car model. If you are feeling a bit creative, you can manually draw the outlines of your car instead. But for those who are sketching challenged, there are a lot of pictures you can find online that you can print out.
Step 3: In your print out, use a pencil to sketch out the design you want. Be more detailed in your design. You can then use colored markers to see how well the colors will blend in. If you made a mistake, you can print it out again and do another design.
LED Angel Eyes – LED Tail Lights Create Distinction For BMW 3 Series
BMW has been focusing on new LED lighting systems to make the 2011 BMW E92 3 Series Coupe as recognizable at both night time and as well as its new stylish LED BMW Angel Eyes as daytime running lights at daytime.
A total of 155 pieces regular and high power LEDs illuminate the BMW E92 3 Series Coupe's interior and exterior, creating a unique look that builds on the brand's heritage of innovative lighting and design, according to BMW's chief designer, Chris Bangle.
The fiber optical LED light pipes -- clear tubes that direct light -- for the BMW's brake lights, turn signal lights, and tail running lights are the latest theme for BMW's newly signature design of tail light lamps that have distinguished BMW from 2006.
"Lighting is one of the last frontiers to differentiate cars," said one of BMW design director, adding that "countless hours and days" went into designing the BMW's sleek and modern look tail lights. "We decided to make lighting a key element of the car's appearance and character."
The front daytime running lights are also different from most other European vehicles such as Audi, Mercedes. BMW has finally made its signature and unique Angel Eye Halo Rings using high power Xenon White LED lights which has much better looking for its previous yellowish angel eyes and can be seen from quite far away and instantly link your mind to BMW even without seeing this car clearly.
