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

That'll be sore!

LOL, my thoughts exactly.

Can you get cream for that?

Or will WD40 do nicely...

hope that works

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

Yeah, I had to remove loads of unneccessary points on those images to make them more pleasant to cut. The Result is good though.

Domed would be impressive

have you got a spare Plenum?

Doesn't everyone ?

I have only put a 1mm dome on it as I am afraid I machine through it I will put the ultrasonic thickness thing on it over the weekend and see how much I have got to play with

It's been a long time since I got the plenum and I eventualy got the work done last night



The part still needs deburred in this image, over the moon with the way it's turned out.

Awesome work!

It has to be said, that is pretty smart.

Worth at least 3bhp?!

See, this is what happens when people get settled with the general performance of their cars...they start doing weird stuff
