Does anyone have a DXF or similar of the Lotus logo, I plan to engrave my plenum over the weekend.

LOL, my thoughts exactly.

Can you get cream for that?

:thumbsup got it now took a bit of tidying up but I now have a good copy.

now the question is do I engrave or pocket it out, and do I have enough material to machine it on a dome like the s1 badge

It has to be said, that is pretty smart.

Worth at least 3bhp?!
