What do you think of my wind deflector?

I've been making a wind deflector for my Vortx. This is how its looked when doing a dry fit today. It will be sanded underneat to make it a closer fit to the scuttle and then given a final coat of paint. Rescued attachment wind deflector close up edit.JPG

Very tasty.

What have you made that with?

Fibreglass. I made a template out of card and then laminated it in GRP.

that looks great!

before I read that you'd made it, my first thought was 'did he cannibalise the old scuttle to make the wind deflector?'

Damn! Why didn't I think of that? Most of the fun was making it anyway

MNR, though they'll only sell the bodywork to you if you have their chassis
