Re: Audi R8 TDI V12 - cosmetic surgery

Here's a small update.

Thanks to the pushy Veyron, I kinda took his advice and did the main pièce de résistance of this car. So i went ahead and tried doing the clear roof on this car.

To be honest it wasn't easy, working with thermoform still holds a lot of misteries for me, but the result is acceptable.

First off, i thinned the inside part of the roof to a certain extent (I bet i could puncture that plastic with a toothpick !!! )

Secondly, i cut out and made the Naca intake on it.

And thirdly I cut out the 'holes' in it.



Then I used the thermoform I did beforehand and cut it to the desired size.





That's about all I have for now. Awaiting probably Micablue paint.



Cheers and don't hesitate to C&C,

Olivier
