Haha, yep, I had a \"turtle head\" poking out that morning.

well because I damaged the beaver panel while prepping it the other week
and since i've run out of paint, the idea was to chrome a new one.

Ooh yeah, bad idea.

Have you considered one of the later-model beaver panels?

The later model panel has 2 lights fitted to the top of it.
Look here... and you can just see them.

STM, I'm thinking I have some Classic red back in Newcastle, unthinned etc from when my first MX5 got resprayed, If you're interested I'll check how much is in the tin - If there's a useful amount, it's yours for the asking, I'll be back in Newcastle next weekend to check. Let me know if you're interested.
When results speak for themselves - don't interrupt.
