Right, I want one for the Volvo and can you hell find them anywhere, usual story, Autpolas destroyed moulds etc etc.

Was just outbid on one on German eBay that I was sure I was going to get! Was brand new too. I messaged the guy and it's the only one he has found in 10 years! You can't put a price on them TBH. (Although some will say £0 lol)

So...Having been inspired by the current ones made for Mustangs etc from aluminium or thin steel I am wanting to have a go myself, I don't care about the 'moulded' look that only the plastic ones have so it shouldn't be too much bother.

Was thinkingof having a crack at a plastic one first though, so...
does anyone know where I can buy wide plastic slats from? Been looking at doors/shutters etc. but nothing like what I'm after.

Halp plz :thumb:

You can buy wide plastic (up to 12'') for soffits, normally from upvc window places, smoothed with beveled edges but in bright white

Unsure exactly what your after tbh but what about a series 2 rst bonnet vent? May not be a bad starting point. Or this may give you a better idea.......

As for Primera, it's being done. Just no updates on C4F these days, garage got broken into a couple weeks back and don't like to update. Too many randoms browsing, could have seen tools etc - I may be wrong though.
