Opinions on these.?
« on: 13 April 2008, 12:43 »
There was something missing on my GTI..So I set about designing and had these made.
This

To this




1.2mm Brushed stainless steel.Designed on CAD/CAM and CNC laser cut.


What do you guys think.?  Guy with the machine wants to stick some on the bay but reckoned on some feedback 1st.
Also did an R32 insert.


Got a couple of sets if anyone wants some to try out.

That looks brilliant, red gti lettering could top it off i reckon (or sticker/decal lettering i.e. ed30 logo)

Id take a set! Although i think the corners need smoothed out a little and a bit more flush as it looks a bit too sharp and the gap around it isnt 100% flush (maybe im just being fussy? lol)

cheers guys.

I,ve had some in my car for a week now.Not held down with anything but they aint fallen out or rattled.The VW handle itself is 1.5mm deep so designed them using 1.2mm stainless..That way you can still grip the handle for use without slipping or losing any grip.

The edges were sharp after cutting but I deburred mine quickly and easily with no compromise to quality.

Its a work in progress,slight modification to dimensions are been made thats why I aint stuck em down.But when I do I<d use double sided tape yes.

In between doing work stuff I,ve done designs for GT,TDI,FSI and could draw up an edition 30 I s,pose.Cant do the red inserts into the GTI,Its that small they would lose quality I reckon.

That cnc laser is awesome to watch.

I,ll send a set of GTI ones out to someone to get more feedback.Better to see in the flesh the pics dont do the grain on the stainless justice.
