Other commitments have meant little progress on the Sammio of late, however this morning I tackled an idea I have been toying with for a while.
I want a number plate lamp different from the masses but keeping in character with the car so came up with this idea.
Start with the standard Mini winged badge
Take one waterproof LED strip
Cut out the outer edge of the badge and Glue in the LED to match the contour
I chose to do this to the thicker edge and mount the badge upside down,
If anything theres a little too much white light heading backward so may need a small eyebrow fitting over the led's other than that I am happy with the result.
A replacement badge can be made to order with any colour, script, logo and wording available here
http://martincull.create.net/ £4.50 a pair
All in about £10 for this lamp..
