Default My **** - tail tidy

ok so today i started work on making my own tail tidy and under tray and this is how far i am at the moment.







i am at this minute waiting for the primer to go off then i will spray them, assemble the tail tidy, bolt or rivet (mind not made up yet) it to the under tray and wire up the indy's and all will be done
