Funny that, Leon - that was my first thought as well

Bobbit - they look good - and definitely different from the usual \'99 spec or led ones

Gavin_RX8 · April 21, 2009, 06:50:06 PM

FD3S Efini · April 21, 2009, 09:15:22 PM

they look amazing mate really stand outany chance you could post the stencil they ou used?

Bobbit · April 21, 2009, 10:01:46 PM

Sorry fella, the stencil got eaten by the dog (seriously!), it was just a bit of paper and he decided to empty the bin and chew everything. But the original graphic I found by searching google images. I\'ll see if I can find the same one again.

Bobbit · April 21, 2009, 10:07:58 PM

found it: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.aitcs.com.au/stickers/images/Rotor.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.aitcs.com.au/stickers/index.php%3Fmain_page%3Dproduct_info%26cPath%3D83_69%26products_id%3D183&usg=__MMxCnFgB7HnZ4JJtaZAERIWSUf4=&h=394&w=400&sz=12&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=FSCRL3ZqwH0zGM:&tbnh=122&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Drotary%2Bengine%2Brotor%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff

I resized the image so it would fit on the lense (held the lense to the computer screen, the image easily showed through) then I traced the image from the laptop screen with some paper (don\'t tell the wife) then cut the image out. i covered the lense with parcel tape, drew round the stencil with a felt tip pen, cut the shape with a hobby knife, peeled off the excess and voila. Sprayed with a satin black from Halfrauds that i found in the garage and that was it.

Bobbit · April 22, 2009, 12:57:47 AM

Not on here bud, but if peeps are interested pm me on the other site.

leon · April 22, 2009, 12:43:42 PM

lol yeah that is true, a sheild would not be very good. I\'ve got a set of lights spare and i\'ve been toying with LED\'s for the last year and a half but other things come up, maybe i need to do somthing unique now with leds or design :Hammer

Go for it bud, it\'s a nice compliment that other like my ideas.
