Thanks for all the positive comments.
The hardest part was making the stainless surround, it was made up of four stainless strips (to answer rover54) but they were quite hard work to machine. Bumper £85 posted from Ebay, stainless mesh from local stainless fabricating company £25, stainless strips (Ebay) £35 posted, free Mondeo front foglights, Milliput resin £14, badge £6, cans of paint and lacquer £30. |

I don't intend to make any more at all. I was merely showing that it is possible to make something without spending a fortune on a few pieces of plastic. Glad you like the look. Cheers, Simon. |

Thanks Ian,
I'm between Yeovil and Sherborne, so not too far away. Might be interested in South West meets, a lot seem to be in The Midlands or North. I'm about five miles from Haynes at Sparkford. All the best, Simon. |
