Scuff Plates

[deserthead]

Hey guys and Gals.

I got bored at work last week, so I decided to toy with the car some more. :bang: The S was sand blasted in.
And this was the end result. These are the fronts, on the back Im guna put the HRT helmet and head.

Im looking at making up some more if anyone is interested.

looks great,
1) is it easy to kock some up to suit a VS,
2) what would it cost to ship it to perth?

im thinking of doing my nick in a fancy font

 

[deserthead]

Its easy as to make, I just need the model car to work off.
Not sure wot it'd cost to post.
Shouldn't be that much though, mainly the weight issue I think.

Hey patrio7, I should be able to get sizes offa a mates car.
Price I'll have to get back to ya, I'll have to c how much to get it blasted.

As for a tutorial, its pretty easy to do, as long as you have a metal gullotine and a bender.
I measured between the little knicks on the sills. Then measured across between the two rubbers. Added a little more because of the bend.

Then cut it to length, put it on the bender, bent it to roughly 85 odd degrees.

Took it to a guy to get blasted then I used double sided tape to stick it down. Just incase I wanted to pull it up later for some reason.

Oh yeah and elbow grease to polish them up.

Not too hard, I think they turned out pretty good for a prototype pair.

If you could make almost exact copies of the HSV ones I would be very interested, as they are extremly over priced.

[deserthead]

Thats the exact reason why I made up my set. . . Well that and bordem.
I dunno how close the exact set I could get, But like I said, I can get anything put in it.
