Thanks Weede ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
In an aim to clean up the engine bay I done that frowned upon thing!
also mocking up a cover for the wiper motor.
Pink rocker cover to be changed to chrome powder coat along with red leads
at some point. Also want to make another washer bottle but for under the scuttle panel this time

From cardboard mock up to the real thing in aluminium....
..not to sure about how good it will look, needs welding, shaping & paint.

Please don't tap on the hood. It disturbs the gerbils.

What about 2 3mm lines maybe 3mm apart with a nice little tail design thinger at the end, maybe a little word at the end about whats in it or something?

Usually not a fan of pinstripes, either, but can see how it would look real sweet on your ride, with the other mods you have, and in that kind of layout/shape you mocked up there - can't wait to see it done. Its funny, nearly everything you've done to your car I wouldn't personally do to mine, but I love it so much - it's so well done & surprisingly works really cohesively! Fantastic work.
That gear boot is sweet! Haha... such a cool idea!

Thanks for the nice comments Folks appreciate them, I have 20m of Gold (you will see why gold in a few months:) 3mm pinstripe coming so will be able to try out both designs fo sure
I was thinking something at the end, not writing though maybe like a flourish like so:

Should be if that flourish will frame the rear light cluster ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Ok so little side project here is a single wiper blade conversion, by extending the wiper motor arm Im hoping to gain more throw on the middle wiper spindle.
![Image](http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b393/djsonofsam/DSCF1595.jpg)
will get this welded and have a play at some point to see if its gonna work?!

Re: Sam's Slammed 1.6 MX-3- LT Turbo project > New photos!
I swear the car I pulled my CF hood from had a centre wiper blade arm.... Like Im certain of it, I may even have a picture. Could it be possible that some USDM MX3s had that as an option? Or must that have been a custom job?youdirtyfox wrote:Should be if that flourish will frame the rear light cluster
