well? mid life crisis or stupid? :whistling:

 

Looks really great Young Fella.But big mistake as the heat will destroy them,beleave me.Plus you have bonded them on so your gonna be well fooked.I bought them mirror finnish plastic ones years ago when God was a little lad.You are surposed to just fix them on via velcro so you can just put them on at a show then remove easily after.Hence that is why I made all mine out of polished stainless then bonded them on with Sikaflex permenatly.But like I said you have made a cracking job.

Picture it, its a dark night pissing down with rain, your miles from nowhere with the misses in the car and your fan belt lets go. Luck has it you have a spare, whilst fitting it your soaking wet, the misses wont stop moaning then the spanner slips off the adjuster bolt and you take 3 knuckles off and drop the spanner somewhere on the road, you scream with anger and as you look up all you see is you.:cursing:

Cracking job mate :thumbup: looks great on a black car actually :bow:

looks good dazvert..where did you get your cam cover from or did you fabricate it yourself

 

Cheerz dude, got it from z-center mate:wink:

WOW, The king of bling himself!! I`m honoured... and I`ve not been called a young fella in a while,lol, thanks for the advice, I did think they arnt gonna last long with all that heat, good idea with the polished stainless, might do that when mine go frazzled, I think i can get away with just sticking over the top of them, cheerz Vinz

Looks spot on Daz. I was going to do this aswell. fancy nocking some up for me and i will fie some ££ over??

 

you can have mine if you want, sound`s like I`ve done a sh!t idea...again :lol:, I do have the cardboard templates though so if you want some stainless one`s made, i can arrange:gunsmilie:

Had a few looks now, and on reflection I am still undecided. Quality craftmanship though Daz. I want a router table.

:lol: Nice one Daffy, i did reflect today if I had done the right thing :wink:, my router table was only £40 2nd hand from e-bay, its not great but good for little jobs around the house/car

WELL MATE LIKE IT! BUT ARE YOU TURNING INTO JONNY BRAVO!!!

lol, it sounds like they are all going to melt anyway, so when i look up i will see me but i will look like 14 Simon Weston`s :lol:

WELL MATE LIKE IT! BUT ARE YOU TURNING INTO JONNY BRAVO!!!

 

 

LOL, I got called Jonny Bravo today:biggrin:

 

I`m really surprised you havent done this little mod Paul???

I tried with the stuff we did our head light in but it looked crap! so i took the stuff off, but it looks realy good well done my mate!

lol, I made cardboard templates of each shape, bought a sheet of arcylic mirror and cut each shape out on my router table, and glued on with mirror adhesive :tt2:

 

i used to work with this stuff many moons ago . it looks good daz but i think you are going to have issues with the heat warping the panels and blistering the coating on the back . also what tends to happen is a crazing effect from the edges . hopefully the quality of the materials has moved on in the last 20 years and you dont have these issues . be carefull how you clean it too mate as the surface is quite soft and prone to scratching.

 

looks very nice though , well done . you really are turning that car into a show stopper

Yeah just drop me a pm of what i owe you and i will fire it over :duffer:

Thanks Andy, totally understand about the product, I explained to the supplier that it was for under the bonnet and may get hot and he said it would be fine (but he would say that) but to be honest it only cost £38 for all the stuff so not too bothered if i have to replace it every year or even better (like king of bling mentioned) get some stainless ones made, I will see how it goes, but your right it does scratch easily, CheerZ bud :thumbup1:

nay worries, mine are made from acrylic (plastic safety mirror) but it may perish with the heat ect, so polished stainless may be the best option?, not sure of the cost but I can find out and get you some made if you wish:devil:
