Snow cowl improvment.
Hi all
as many of you have seen my snow cowl on millie



Click image to enlarge


i didn't like the way the fixings just went on the metal part to fix it down, so i thought of something a bit better to look at and this is my first attempt .................

It is the outer part of an old air vent that i cut into 3 pieces and used them to make it look a bit better Very Happy
I said to myself that one day i would improve on that idea and that is what i have done, so i unscrewed the snow cowl off and would you believe that there was some bits of hedge on top of the old air vent, so i unscrewed that to check in and was very clean in side with just a little bit to come out and then i screwed the vent back on .................

Then with the improved mk2 version to go on the snow cowl.............................

Yes a one piece unit and next to it is a template, so if anyone likes my improvement, i am happy to send you one Wink

So the next pic is with the snow cowl that i got from a member on here fixed with the improved unit ........
