hi there...here's my super-7 caterham with customized hood. handcrafted stainless sheet. the rest is out of the box model. i kept the original hood just in case this one doesn't come out nice. hope you like it. and yes..the side mirrors are from a BMW motorcycle..tamiya.

hi there,..thanks guys..the brass end is from a .22cal. i kept some shells for my modelling. they come in handy for exhaust ends on 1/12 scale cars and motorcycles. you can drill the end part and polish the edges. this one is closed..i'm test fitting it and forgot about it. thanks again..
