Dons battery clamp is very clever and looks great.
Personally if i were you mate i wouldnt make any more. Sure you may make a bit of money, but at the moment its unique and a true one off.
Well done

My wee DRL mod seems a bit lame compared to some of the others but, I did make it from start to finish...and they work as they should, only on when lights aren't.

Lol...filter is that size for a reason.....didn't think it would fit in engine bay let alone front wing ! But sits nicely now....
Polyurethane plastic lip was a trim that was made up from a guy I did some work for.

Yes...will be incorporating an aluminium guard and the filter will eventually sit a couple if inches higher.
It's not a road car and won't be going through water on track so a guard will be o.k I think.

Couldn't find a reasonably priced 60mm a-pillar pod so using a universal twin 60mm pod and some fibre glass and filler I knocked this up...

OK not to evryones taste, but this is my one off bonnet scoop. These were used on Japanese rally cars in the 90s, this is one of 3 imported into the UK & I believe it's the only one left as the others were rumoured to have been distorted on rally cars.

You're just jealous because you really want one LOL. It is a bit of a marmite thing but plenty of people love it too. Sadly Iv had to go reverse scoop now as with 450 BHP I was getting bonnet lift.
