Bloody hard things to photo .I made these down stairs with what i had left over .Poor resin ,No resin brush (i used my finger ) wrong grade of sandpaper
(just what i had ) Scrap uneven carbon yet the came out stunning .Even my partner went WOW and see is a girl . Laughing
Now if these came out so well ,i'm thinking how good they could look if i really tried .

You'll be getting mine Gus.
What you could do when funds allow is get a set from a wrecker and have a set ready to go.

Top job Smile

I did think about that but you get back end caps, but they are not YOUR end caps. Laughing I know i'm strange Laughing but i have this thing about swapping
parts ,i mean i might get an evil one ,and mine goes to a idiot . How could i sleep at night not knowing . Rolling Eyes
Turn arount time is 2 days so most people (if any ) are ok with that .
Someone (mot that someone Very Happy ) has asked about those side covers so i might look at those .

How mine used to look

Tell ya what Gus. I can really see this CF covering thing Taking Off for ya. By word of mouth alone you will have a nice little cottage industry going in no time. Just ask people to bubble wrap parts and post in a Oz post bag, ENCLOSING a return, prepaid, adressed bag for you to return. Will make live nice and easy for you. Best of luck. Awaiting your PM.

Vets carry anti tick serum so domestic animals are treatable. Pretty sure foxes cant remove them once they are embedded so they would suffer eventually. I've seen dozens on kangaroos.

I cant answer the question though............
