Looking good! how did you get on cutting it?

spent a bit of time today making a wooden former and managed to make some nicely shaped demister vent trims with some off cuts,

When I've got more time i intend to try vacuumed forming the locost way with a Hoover or in my case Dyson

I fancy some carbon look rear light housing a bit like the westfield ones but with smaller lights but that's probably a little to adventurous for the first go!

Someone posted a link on here a while ago with a video on diy vacuum forming buggered if i can find it now though

It went quite well thanks Dave, it was quicker than getting the jigsaw out, when you talk about vacuum forming i guess your using the 2mm stuff.

It looks good though I can't help but feel the best place for the handbrake is the passenger compartment next to the gearstick

Where do you rest your left arm when you're cruising post blat???

Yes forgot to mention mines all 2mm stuck to the ally panels, so no rivets on show and should stop it rippling in the sun!
The dash is 4mm.
