I wanted to continue the in-fill work i had done on the rear frame areas to under the seat to give the tail end a nice uncluttered look:

I used 2mm ABS carbon-look :oops: sheets to make the panels from. I have reinforced the top side of the flat panel in front of the number plate with aly angle VHB-taped on. Masking tape is just to mark out and protect the plastic from scratches. I recessed the panels into the duck tail as that is easier than flush to get looking good.

I have made up an aly bracket to hold the number plate which i will cut down once i have a number plate.

I found a suitable LED rear light on Ebay and made up a bracket to fit in the tail piece. I then spent considerable time re-learning the art of forming plastic around a curved object which you don't have. Then trimming it all carefully to fit the light through the hole and get a near fit:

I think i will be re-doing this panel as there are some heat marks on it, the curve isn't quite right and there are a few gaps around the rear edges.

Also got few shiny bits back from Mikey:

:D :shock:
