Winter Upgrades

Here it is March and the weather is finally starting to feel like spring. Along with the third brake light during the winter I also made these new modifications. The English roadsters have a badge bar up front. There was a small piece of real-estate in front of the grille which was the perfect spot for the bar. Along with mounting the bar, I balanced off the face of the car with amber fog lamps. The fog lamps took a major redesign out of the box, (Tail Light King- my advise pass on  buying from Al, not quite the quality you pay for.) but the size was what I wanted and the only ones I could find in that size, and with amber color. Replacing the bulbs with LED's lowered the amps drawn and I could wire in line with the headlamps. Stainless steel braiding to cover the exposed wiring and it was almost ready to go.

The new badge bar needed a badge to call it complete and authentic. Since there weren't any badges which covered a Bremen Mini Mark, it was time for some creative design work. Some .125" Aluminum and a "B" with a smaller "M"s inside of the center of the "B" was the custom look I needed. What do you think?

The last modification was the addition of two small wind/ sun visors. The visors are made from smoked Plexiglas with hand crafted aluminum brackets. Hopefully this will reduce some of the over windshield wind at highway speeds. It also can eliminate some of the sun glare at sunset and sunrise. 

Now all I need is the sun to try them out, well, actually sun and warmth to get the car out on the road and enjoy the days! I hope you have had a productive winter as well, making a few upgrades and getting your car ready for 2016.
