[4*real*Made_in_China]

This week our theme is "Pimp my Mian Bao Che" (aka Chinese van).
We're using the beautiful Dongfeng Xiao Kong courtesy of China Car Times .

Rules:Take this image and modify it in any way you like (change background, color, bodywork, etc...). You don't have to make it beautiful, you can even make it ugly, just make it different. You may enter up to 3 entries but they must all be different. Please only enter me your final copy. Its ok if you're not a buff, just have fun . I found an image that shouldn't be too hard to modify, so give it a try even if you've never done it before.

Post your entry here or if you'd like to be anonymous, send your entry to: [email protected] before next Friday at midnight.
Voting will commence shortly after. If you choose to send an e-mail, leave your (user)name in
the e-mail but not in the picture so that I know who you are. Don't be shy!.
Remeber: If you enter, you must vote! Don't rush it, take you time to do better
quality work.
Leave any questions or comments on this page.
<<Note for those
of you of which English isn't your mother tongue or those of you who live under a rock,
"Pimp my" means "Modify my">>

Here's some ideas:
DAMD is a tuner in Japan that mods all sorts of crazy cars (including vans) and sometimes gives them a retro
look.

Also, there is also a growing subculture of "van-modders" who modify old
Mitsubishi and Toyota vans and give them things like wings and crazy artwork.

Hope this inspires you a bit.

And for your personal enjoyment, my personal entry:
The Volvo 240 inspired "Sweden Special" by DAMD (not really
affiliated w/ them).

I looked for 1024x720 images at the beginning ,but I'm afraid they're
just impossible to find. Chinacartimes gave me another link in a
message, but I just emptied my inbox (I had 34 messages).
I'm afraid this is all I can do, but please note that I took a
lot of time and effort to see if I could find the images for
you, even going to the Dongfeng site, all to no avail. Please
at least try to do our contest, we need to get entries.
