Post by: pete sparrow on May 12, 2007, 03:26:45 PM
Just a few pics of the new mods i\'ve added to my car for this season.
Gram Light bumper supplied by Ross at Dragon,cheers mate:King

Customised standard bonnet with Dragon\'s logo cut into it. Thanks again to Ross for his permission to use his design. No Ross you can\'t have the other multi headed Dragon bonnet!!:Laugh

Custom shopping list under bonnet plate supplied by Jono at D-sign Studio.
It fixes into place using the original heat proofing holes.Only in place while static and not kept under the bonnet while in transit. Cheers Jono top work mate.:King

Looking nice.

TBH the paint doesn\'t completely match,its the third time i\'ve had the front end sprayed due to changing bumpers and past damage.Unfortunately the slight colour change is something i\'ll have to live with:( It looks fine in the sun but when overcast its very noticeable.

Looking good hardy :Laugh :cheers

Still think the Dragon logo mesh should be a slightly darker shade but as you said it might not show up as well if the mesh was darker ???

Very smart and a fresh approach at last.

Is the advertising sheet underneath a drip tray as well?

Thanku for your kind words.:)

No the shopping list isn\'t a rain tray as well, but i\'m having a vented rain tray made atm to aid  in channeling the air upwards and outward.Its very slim line so the list will just fit back over the top when on static display.
