Are you needing someone to pop their car your way to stencil?

I'm 20 mins away from you in Howden.

That would be fantastic. Or I could pop to you if the roads are to salty .

I'm in most the day tomorrow or monday if you want to pop round. Not sure what you require though in the way of needing the car raised off the ground to stencil?

I would assume it needs to come off to stencil a new one, on the S1 the front is hidden by the front clam.

Have you contacted the likes of junks on seloc to see if he has one?

They all seem to be around £70 to £150 ! I do fabrication so should be easy with a panel to copy.

Ouch, I though they would be cheaper than that, there again I suppose they get damaged quite often in frontal bumps.

Had another thought, can't you work it out by laying on your back, it should be obvious where it goes/fastens, granted copying one off the car will be easier but if not possible....

That looks great.

The wheel looks brilliant 8)

However... Whilst the rear tow bracket looks great, will marshals really bother crawl right under to try and attach to that or just use a wishbone if you have an off :(

Also get some new P clips for the break hoses as they let you shiny bits down :lol
