Hi Neil

The number plate light you see on my boot lid is a copy from an original I managed to borrow. Although mine doesn't have lights in it, it's more a handle to lift the boot lid.
I took a mould from the original and from this made a pattern and had it cast in phosphore bronze at a local foundry.
Phosphore bronze is a fantastic material to chrome plate. I did have two castings made @ £15 each and I gave one to the guy I borrowed the original one from.
I didn't like the ferrari one as it was screwed on from the front.I've altered mine and it bolts on from inside the boot lid. I do have an original gasket for it and that will be used when the car get painted!
