Work in progress, and I know this will split opinion.
Will be sanded smooth and flocked inside and out to blend in with the rest. Taking a gamble but I think this is gonna look pretty cool.

I've made a speed camera ;)

Very nice, does it not hide anything on the dash?

Nothing the unit itself won't show me anyway.

Looking good :)

I think I would have trimmed the cowling a bit so that it sits inside slightly, with the ally sides flush with the cowling.

Not a great deal of room for that Ben. As the screen would then be partly submerged in the cowling and I couldn't see it.
Hopefully it looks good fitted and very purposeful.

All new prototype Intake ducts are well underway. Still got a way to go to get the angles just right but it's getting there. They're much much bigger than the previous intakes and should feed the oil cooler and wing box far more efficiently.

Should look pretty aggressive too.

Sorry for the rubbish photos, it was getting dark.

Something that's been bugging me a while is that the Syvecs calibration switch comes with a numbered sticker.
This sticker eventually starts to peel, or if like me you want to move the rotary switch, you need another sticker.
Today I made up a small brushed stainless plaque and laser etched the numbers on.
I didn't bother writing a program for it, or punching out the disc as it would bend. I just done it by hand but I think it's come out pretty damn well.

Even etched Syvecs on the bottom...
Tart :D

Operation Slim-Fast is underway.
Lost the light tonight so stopped there. Already lost a decent crate full of stuff.

All quiet here what with house and wedding planning.

However the car is 75% ready to go in for some treatment and work on the prototype fog covers continues. These are just mock ups for now and don't represent their finish once completed.
