What are you painting the base plate with?Forest wrote: ↑08 Oct 2020 06:14Good day Gents.
So last week my Patrol found itself at Viper exhaust for a full system branches and exhaust. The guys there did and awsome job and im really happy with the end result. a deeper exhaust note that I can actually hear. Fuel economy may suffer as i can't get enough of the loud pedal...lol. everything is neatly tucked away as I asked so hopefully I won't break this one off.
I also stopped in at Peter to pick up a custom baseplate he made up for me. As always Peter delivered another top quality baseplate that fits perfectly, will hold up well and looks good. Thanks Peter.
Test fit yesterday so off to get it painted. Some before and after pics below
Cheers

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
It sits right above the turbo & draws hot air out, the louvres are also functional.

Re: Who is doing what to their patrols ?
Thank you.
Even without the turbo I find it is very hot under the bonnet so I do think that will be very helpful.
