I thought that said Balls for a minute. :lol: Seriously though little touches like that is the very essence of life in my opinion and what its all about, that does look good.

I was just following another tipper home half an hour ago and thinking to myself about a custom lazer cut stainless bulkhead for my tipper with stainless bulkhead bar and what I'd print/cutout for it...

Was it very expensive? Can they convert from Autocad software, as my AutoCad's well old. Any idea what software or file type the machine reads?
My Mk5 was biodegradable and disintegrated with time.

Finally entered the 21st Century and bought a MK7. Oh Dear.

to be honest ginsambo , i worked at the place for 3yrs and the week before I left they took delivery of the Lazer cutting Machine , and were after Idea's to try it out . I took a Ford Badge in and asked them to personalise it with my nickname "BAILS" for me . This is how it turned out ..... well pleased , they gave it to me the day I left , so have no Idea what cost was , but imagine not cheap ....

Sorry I have no Idea of software used , but Stainless Bulkhead would look great if you can get it done ..... Pics if you go through with it .

Well I've bought some Araldite to secure My badge to the back door ( could not think of what else to secure it with ) , i've also bought some Clear laquer to spray on the Badge .... so it lasts and don't go crappy , just waiting for this weather to clear so I can start fixing on .
