I thought this was a thread about my Elise :wink:

Clock looked quite nice, can't help but think you could DIY one of those for a lot less than 4-500 quid. Build a lightbox, add some vinyl and a knife could surely get decent results, laser cut vinyl for perfect finish, and you could dispense with the hideous ticking contraption in the middle too..

There was someone on here that did laser cut vinyl in the past, but I can't recall who, if I made one, it'd likely be rough and for me :mrgreen:

I'm a DIY guy with a have a go attitude rather than a pro :wink:
