Bit of work there yet. Have only done 1 so far (and thats not quite finished either). Still got to arrange LEDS (although ive found someone for that) and perspex cover. And im thinking ill need a sticker for the inside of the perspex (or as a template for paint) as an option as well.

If you get somebody to design a template, i could print out a 1 off. Possibly a run of them, but it would have to be added into the cost. Once basic design is done, orders can be made for different colour/patterns to go on the inside of the lights, if thats the idea?

Well the story is that as the perspex lens will be stuck to the case with some form of silicone/sikaflex, you dont want to be able to see it as it would look untidy/ugly. This will mean either putting a sticker on the inside of the outer edge of the lens so that the glue will be hidden by the sticker or using a sticker on the inside of the lens as a mask so the outside of the lens can be painted. In my case ill be wanting to carbon fibre dip just the outside edge of the underside of the lens and a sticker seems to be a logical thing to use as a mask.

Would be happy to add this component to the cost as an optional part as I can see some people would probably have a shot at it themselves and wouldnt need the sticker.

Will these fit the Vortex rear bar? (The part that covers the reverse lights)

Actually, no they wont. Different shape required to simplify the bends. Just cut the Vortex bar out to the same shape as normal rear bar.

Didnt get anything done over the weekend im afraid. Flu.....

So you would have to modify the part that overlaps the reversing light, correct?
