Sidesport thats what i meant, to get a perfect copy ya gotta take the outside mould then take a mould of the inside of the bigger mould hence at least 2 moulds, lol | |

quote: this is the kind of thing i want to know :) and how much it would be because ideally i would like to take a mould of my bumper just now, then modify it slightly then get a mould made of that to use so it is as perfect a fit as possibile and as strong as possibile :thumbs: | |

Surely you have to take at least 2 moulds, if you take one off the outside you get a slightly bigger version, if you take one off the inside you get a slightly smaller one!!? Then there is the problem of getting the moulds apart, ya might have to sacrifice a mould to take the mould?!!! Am i talking pish | |

:lol: nah he wouldnt do that he will give you the mould back if you wanted, i made my 2 piece slit bonnet, someone tried to copy the vents out of it so he took the one they made off them and drove over it making sure they didnt copy again :lol: | |

i no a plave that could probably do it but i am just wanting one mould made so i can modify/change the spot light and make it fit better and have stronger mounts at arches along with some sort of mounts like standard along the bottom of the bumper. it also weighs a ton :lol: | |
