And with a DPDT switch it can act as demister too.

Pretty much the same thing as one of these.

Got my new wheels booted up with some Toyo Proxes TR1s so I trial fitted them.




The hub caps still have to have the logo added to them properly but I think they go well with the classic look.

Cheers guys.

I made my hub caps up properly over the past couple of days. I had done a badge in the center of the hubcaps before...



...but I wasn't happy with the look so decided rather than gluing a badge into the hole, I would cast a slightly smaller badge directly into the hubcap.

Using one of my nose badge casts and some body filler I made up a master hub cap and took a silicone mold from it. By placing a hub cap with a hole in it in the mold I could cast the badge directly onto the hubcap.



This is the various stages of the casting from empty hub cap to a sanded smooth hub cap with logo.

Then all I had to do was paint them, with some plastic filler primer, white primer, silver wheel paint and lacquer.





The final colour match isn't great so I may try and find a better silver, but they didn't turn out bad!
