I have not see that before thanks I will give a try

side vent
I have fitted led indicators inside and a mirror to help reflect the light

Very well executed, looks standard.

Also fitted front grill and Maserati trident. turned out quite well


Removable hump on the left

Do you have one of the back end?, i can just see the diffuser...

Very nicely finished lots of great details
Any plans to sell tridents?

Looking very good.

Is there much left to do before you can take it for an MOT?

Good luck, Paul.

That's not a bad idea looking at the cost of the ones Maserati sell!

Wiring issues . seat covers, general stuff .
One job I intend doing is forming a 5mm screen and have screen posts with an aluminium frame. this will take some time tinkering, so Feb looks like a good time to mot

Nice detail and the car is looking good.

Looking forward to see your screen fitted.

That is looking very nice!
I think the AA grill badge is always a nice 'British' touch as well

made a cover for the number plate leds which cost 3.50 for 4

Jan went skiing. Wife 50th on valentines day so off to London for a few days to watch a show. Then my mums 80th to organise beginning of March. so been too busy/cold to work on the car, but watching classic car show mille miglia last night made me spend an hour on the template for the car windscreen.

great car

progress today. made an oven out of an old locker, two heat guns and some insulation


made a flat sheet raised on blocks to circulate the air
you can see template in the background

trial piece worked but had imperfections. so I decide to use a piece of cotton sheet to lay the screen on. This worked great and made it easy to pull out the hot screen which I lay over the template and held in place until cool. If I do it again I will make a positive and negative to help keep the shape while cooling.

this is the sheet cut oversize

and formed

couple of picturess with the template on still thinking of the screen size and toying with idea of removable wipers

Well done!
Fantastic job, car looks amazing..

Lovely work, it's coming on a treat...

My understanding is that if you look through the screen while driving, then you must have wipers fitted permanently.

As you look over the traditional Sammio screen, it is considered to be a wind deflector and no wipers are required.

Hope that helps, Paul.

PS
The car looks great.

Hi Paul
I think I am going to make a small and larger screen for the best of both. At the moment I'm in the process of making a retaining strip that will be removable. Also having a control panel made, two quotes for the same item one £500 to have design laser cut and £200 for laser etching. the other quote is £90 all in. I made the mistake of sending a picture of the car too the first company . Mind you car does look a million dollars

Hi Carnoob What Paul mentions is correct about the screen and wipers but it did cross my mind what if you get a very small MOT examiner who can't see over the screen so i thought it may be wise to carry a booster seat for the small chap and a whoopy cushion for good measure. Just kidding but you know how some MOT testers can be awkward for the hell of it and they can fail a car depending on how they interpret the regulations.

What control panel are you having made.

Control Panel



Great for when someone cuts you up, or is driving too close.

nice like that ....

I've got a couple of switch legends like this but yours is full on secret agent.

Ah, Mr Bond, we've been expecting you.

Lol
