Plays Kool has them.

Making them isn't hard tho. I've done a couple which I didn't want to do, but turned out pretty well in the end. It's one of the easier fab jobs you can do, which EVERYONE will look at and admire.

I was looking for something with a bit more shape than the plays-kool one, although a good price.

Ive thought about making one but think Id rather spend a bit more cash and save the hassle, no Locost I know but Im hoping to get the car sorted early this year!

Thanks for that. The only reason for 'carbon effect' was I wasn't sure how much I would have to pay for a real carbon dash.
Looking at the pictures of yours and bob's I think my mind is made up and the MK one it is, looks excellent.

Thanks for the replies, great help as always...
