Thats fine Fellas I dont mind people copying it, just do the design justice
Treat it like a sculpture ie. consider it from all angles, mark the lines out with tape and always cut inside the line and file up to it. I used a very worn down hard disc cutter in the angle grinder to do mine. The grill mesh is pinned in by the bumper bar at the top then I made some special 'L' brackets to pull it in at the bottom, and you really want a import square plate on the side for full effect too

@ Josh, the spoiler has been shelved for now, its way down the list on things to do Im afraid I may not even use it and stay smooth, as Im about to plate over the aeriel and bung up the washer jets on the bonnet/roof.

Knocked up this stainless steel fuse box cover today, need some velcro
dots to attach it with though.

Ive also got a cheeky little waterslide decal to go on there.

probably all need clearcoating once its on there.

Heres a nice mod I found for my
euro hotrod styling, these little valve stem covers.

[youdirtyfox]

now with added old skool BMX dice valve caps.


next up some centre emblems.

[Josh]

Nice!!! love the Dice

[cWs306]

yaah im loving the matching dice/stem covers/lugs. . And if they get stolen you can always make more . drill out the #1 and push a black cap into it. ive been through so many pairs of black ones already haha.

[youdirtyfox]

The dice I'll keep for shows etc and use the green caps that came with the stem covers for everday

[youdirtyfox]

Well after a few hours and many different designs on
photoshop I have decided the best centre cap for me is plain black



sourced these off ebay and they pop in there perfec

[Josh]

Very nice! A buddy of mine has a laser engraving machine and he made a couple sets of center caps with the Diamond Mazda logo. If you want one with a M logo or something let me know.

Keep up the good work

[youdirtyfox]

Ta, oooh that would've be nice, because a few of the designs that i did like were black lettering on black background but just with grey shadows, thanks for the offer

The obligatory " ground clearence" photo:


Our driveway has now been refurbed so I can get the car back on the hardstanding outside my flat and starting working Her again, with some more lowness on the front, new 4" tailpipe sniper exhaust backbox, a boot hatch delock bung plug which Im going to machine and have painted along with removing and blanking off the rear washer jet and aerial... then it might be ready for some photshoots....

Have you went under your car with a hammer n checked how your undercarriage is holding up? maybe its just me, but in that pic^^ it looks a little ruff.. Hope it not though n its just me trippin out.

[youdirtyfox]

Its just surface rust, it's pretty solid underthere tbh.
