yeah i cut around the main part of the clocks/switches and sunk that whole section in about 2", if that makes sense, pop rivets hold it together and plastic weld all the joints

Haha, just did the same thing a few weeks ago, back before uni started up again. have you got anymore pictures, like side on ones to see how different it looks?

I think you have to bring it forward, that massive drop-off on the standard one looks weird!

Coolio, thanks for that. You plastic welding it? I'm using it as a base to work off of, so I'm fibreglassing to make a truly custom job!

that sounds like a good idea how would that work then?.

What plastic welding or using fibreglass?

Plastic welding is exactly as it sounds, whilst i'll layer fibreglass, different grades of sheet, sand it down and then cover it with flock. f/g would need to be really good just to paint it over. and i dont think im that good!
