As it stands, the numberplate itself is about 70% there. We'll need to sand it down and wet-sand it prior to clear-coating it. It might require a couple of coats to get a nice deep finish.

Back to Work
We spent some time yesterday working on the numberplate/headlight combination.
First we had to apply some masking tape to the carbon piece, to be sure when we marked our holes (using the aluminium template to the left), the pencil marks would show up.
Next we used the drill press to be sure the holes lined up (starting with pilot holes), and that the centre pilot hole for the hole saw was in the correct location.
Cutting more headlight brackets to mount the headlight on the numberplate.
The mock-up. The headlight fits nicely in the numberplate. We need to secure the brackets permanently, so the masking tape you see is in place to mark the holes on the backside of the numberplate.
As it stands, the numberplate itself is about 70% there. We'll need to sand it down and wet-sand it prior to clear-coating it. It might require a couple of coats to get a nice deep finish.
