Firstly got one of these made by a very nice man at one of our engineering suppliers...cost= sweet fa :thumbsup:

And then one slightly illegal No plate...yes i know about the cloning thing n all that but i guess if im up n down the motorway most days if someone wants too copy it they will.

Make sure water can't get down the indi stems from the inside. Mine have, and they are ****ed after a year.

Looks nice. Oh and clear nail varnish works quite well at sealing things (if you haven't got any of your own, ask to borrow some of Razor's :lol: ).

Sorry I only have red, pink, black and purple...

I use bondloc for sealing stuff like that.

Nice job Cuffy :thumbsup:

Looks good and great you have pics.
I plan to do this on my curvy blue and seeing someone elses helps!

The undertray I've got is different but I bought a cheap original 'snow plough' from ebay to work on as some of it needs to be left behind.
That way any mistakes made, I still have the original to put back should thing go t*ts up.
:roll: :wink:

(I see you have chicken strips about the same as mine)!


(Edit for 3rd time)! Do the LEDS work well??

Did mine a while back using the EvoTech tidy. Nicely done but a tad costly for a k5 pointy. Not bothered changing the indicators though...... yet
