Mirror for engine bay

[LegoHead]

I want to remove the soundproofing under bonnet and put mirrors in the recess. The stuff on a roll is s**t, the finish is bubbly and not very smooth.

What do you guys recommend apart from a real mirror?

Is there any body shops round your way who do custom work for the Max Power lot?

If so they should be able to sort you out or point you in the right direction mate?

Max Power! Nooooo.

I do know someone actually, lol. Will have a word tonight, cheers.

a place near me cuts mirror glass to size, they are called AT Free and based in St Helens, they could do it for you

but is this actual glass? I am worried about extra weight and how durable it is.

I wouldn't go down the glass mirror route . You'd be better off with using acrylic mirrors .Its not cheap though .

Do a search on google for either makrolon , polycarbonate sheet or acrylic sheet .

We used to make it years ago .It is hell of aot lighter than glass , just take care when cleaning , don't use anything abrasive .

Wasn't there a car @ FCS with a mirror in the sound deadening area? Is that where you have got the idea from?

Exactly what gave me idea, as the shapes under the bonnet are quite nice and symmetrical, and think it would be cool with silver and mirrors.

We tried it with the stuff on a roll and it was shat. Ive put my sound deadening back on now and riped it off! . Try and find out what that stuff was and we cant get hold of some to fit it one of the weekends!

Get some aliminium cut to size - you could do this yourself with cardboard templates then get them chromed and silkaflex them to the bonnet would be lightweight and durable not sure if its quite the finish your looking for
