Looks good, how did you make it?

Wideboy · 15-02-08, 05:05 PM

printed off the template, stuck it together (bigger than A4), stuck it to a bit of 3mm ally, cut it out with a jigsaw, filed it, bent it and played about untill it fitted perfectly, sanded it with 240 grit paper, cut out and assembled the tail tidy bit using the standard plate bracket, sanded it, riveted the tail tidy to the undertray, primed it with etch primer then sprayed it mat black, fitted mini indicators, wired them up and then fitted number plate

think thats everything

That looks great.
What did you do about the number plate light?
and do you need the reflector for the MOT?

Depends who does your MOT's

Welcome

i want one!

Thanks for the welcome.

I have a jigsaw, some metal cutting blades, and enthusiasm. Where can I get the metal?
I'd like to try and keep it all sweet regarding the MOT. So I'd at least like to have a light for the number plate (I'm sure if I really needed a reflector, I could just stick one somewhere).

i got my ally from a metal stockist round the corner from work, it was an offcut which only get chucked so i asked if i could have it, plus i made something for him few days before

.

as the the MOT, I'm going to get a smaller plate (not done it yet

) then stick a reflector on the bottom of the standard plate and keep the original and swap them for the MOT's, as for lights, like chris said, wouldn't bother, when you have the lights on the tail light illuminates the plate so the likelihood of you getting pulled for not having one are virtually nill.

only bit to be careful is when cutting away the old undertray, my advice to you on this would be cut a little bit then hold up the one you've made and so forth, i got a little trigger happy on the grinder and took to much off but luckily its not noticeable

spike wants me to make on for his TZR so we will be posting this up when its done
