Hi,
Bit of a game really.
For the surround I made a template out of smooth card (which is not that easy) as you have to take into account, the bends above and below the number plate area. I had four pieces of stainless bar which I shaped on a mill, polished and then got a friend to weld into the square(ish) shape also tacking four stainless countersink bolts to the back to attach to the bumper.
All the best, Simon.

Looks very good.
How did you do the MG badge surround?

Devilish · 25th April 2012, 20:14

You have done a sterling job, that cannot be denied, all credit to the work you have put in. But for the relatively small extra cost, the MG7 surround would look far superior on a ZT, pic below is a prime example. You are soon to see another

I bought a 10cm square piece of stainless on Ebay for £3.99 and marked it out into an octagon shape, cut out on the mill at work and chamfered the edges with a 45 degree cutter and fixed to the bumper with two stainless countersunk bolts, the badge was a resin domed stick on straight off Ebay in varying sizes. I might get a slightly bigger one to satisfy my curiosity!!
All the best, Simon.

Thanks for that,
I like the yellow, it's unusual.
MG7 surround looks good too.
I'm intrigued, how much did your plastic one cost and where do we buy those from?
Simon.

I think the next question is.....how much is the Chinese surround and how much to make *Zimons* ? I think *Zimon* may become a popular member

Thanks Terry,
I'd love to do more of these, but don't have the time at the moment.
Cheers, Simon.
