Nice work, I like the subtle infills between the body kit parts above the arches.

Two questions though

What are the fan belts made from and why is your friend not registered and posting themselves? :)

Thanks the great comments!

Unfortunatly it's a very slow project, 'cause I don't have many times and I try to do my best...

So, the diamond plate is made from honycomb design screen, witch i glued (any kind of thin modell glue) to the floor. After the glue dried I cut out the remains from the edges. Then came the BMF, I push it to the screen with my finger and get this kind of pattern
