All being well, all will be revealed in the next 48 hours but I doubt you'll feel as excited about it as I am.  :party:

Currently I don't have a helmet but I do have a paint scheme worked out with a specialist artist ready for when I do.

Paint is involved with the new mod but it ain't carbon wings (or fenders)....        Not yet but still on my list when funds eventually allow. Other financial commitments to honour first.

Youve lost me then... so it involves paint? And isnt wings?

99% of your mods are all functional so i'm struggling to see where paint will gets involved here.
Title: Re: Another mod coming soon....

That leaves 1% that could be cosmetic.

All should be revealed in the next 24hrs, though could be 36hrs. I'm surprised no-one has guessed it so far.

You wouldn't believe it but I've just been looking for an image of a carbon codpiece!! No luck though, but did come across some interesting sites!! :grin:

....Thank you, Alex  :drinking: - Tasteful is always what I try to be.

I'll write up a How-to in the thread I already have in that section on the Evoms cover. Though I don't know anyone else with an OSIR carbon centre strip to modify if they wanted to. I was going for an OEM-Plus look but perhaps it's kind of OEM-PlusPlus.

....I did, but I modified it by cutting out a recess and flush fitting this:

^ Early stage of aluminium paint. Cut from my original 'silver grey' OEM plastic centre strip:

The design idea was mine but my very very good friend Dan at BIALI HQ did ALL the work and added his expertise in the detail.

I already had the carbon strip engine cover and this latest mod was to add the 'FSI TURBO' badge. Your guess was by far the closest  :happy2:  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
