Would it not be possible to angle the two containers slightly upwards so that the gauges are clearer for the driver? They do look very nice anyway Smile

No, that's how I designed them to fit. The driver's one faces directly at the driver, with everything in view. The passenger one is angled towards to make it easier. Smile

If they were tilted up I'd run the risk of reflection of sunlight off the gauges I think.

Considering mudflaps. 50/50 choice at the moment :

Also did something unconventional with the wheel arch trim :

I like the mudflaps. Fit the rally theme. So no plans to run the chrome trim all the way from the front to the back?

No real theme, just what I like. Some say it's Jap, some say rally.

At the moment, no. Smile
