Of any company who could mould a thick perspex sheet to a particular size and shape for me?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I would try any graphics company, or sign makers, as they will have good access to materials and equipment needed. Have a look in the Yellow Pages.....

Thanks for the ideas. I am hoping to have a perpex inner engine cover made but it seems like it will be a bit of a job cutting and bending to shape plus adding the lockdown screws.

Just thought that as millions of people keep asking me to see the engine it would be easier than removing both outter and inner covers all the time.

One Nova boy at the lights reckoned I had a solid bass and amps system installed inside the car and he wanted me to blash some Garage out. ( Does Shirely Bassey do Garage ? )

I expect he was surprised at just how quick my car went with all that stereo equipment loading my rear end down

Why dont you get the whole car body made in clear perspex then you could see everything! That would be different and it wouldnt rust either!

This could cost a small fortune!! I have the entire model of the V6 in CAD data so could design you a perpex cover and get it made. However the properties of such a cover would be quite a challenge, for a start it has to deal with the high temp of the engine and over time this would suffer from degredation and discolour - probably becoming yellow. The best bet is to buy a thick sheet from a DIY store and mould it into shape yourself using a blowtourch or something similar, like a paint-stripper gun. Drill a few holes in it and there you go. Nice and cheap but easily repeatable if needed.

Just found the makers of the engine cover Express Plastics .

Have contacted them to see what they might offer.

Have you sorted this yet James? I agree that a perspex cover would be great to show off the engine of your modified Maxi .
