Certainly did. Although may have deleted the original msg :/ These PM doesn't last long on this account... fills to max in a week, less sometimes

The note I have here in my little excel sheet for your alias is:"vivo series in gunmetal".

You got it! Unless there's something new that I haven't seen yet, haven't read through this thread in a while. Have you come out with anything new since last August?

Not much NEW, we actually got rid of things instead. Really looking forward an improved and reliable kit - which I've already CAD in Feb/March. Simplified, lighter (cheaper also!). But in all they are the exact same shape/models (visually).

Needs manufacturing which I plan on jumping onto in about two weeks.

Gotcha, thanks for the link. I look forward to finally getting some of these, it's the last project on my list for exterior mods. Thanks for the update and keep me posted on when you want me to pay you!!!

On this note;

Few months ago I've posted some renders of a prototype for our Vivo Series. When I say 'our' I mean our forum's.

As you can see from the visual below it needs a perforated meshed part that I could send out for custom cutting. Process is chemical etching (aluminum) and anodized surface treatment (red?!). Not super expansive in terms of prototyping & production, but the 'task' is quite nasty. CAD, supplier contacts, samples, assembly forming die, fixtures, testing, etc. You get the picture.

Something that could be nice to look at for this summer. Therefore any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Does not need to be nice lolll

You say - I do - attitude



^ No plans for Titanium, AL only

Wow, I´m on the list! :dance: This is great news!

I´m not sure I understand what models and color options will be available, is there a list somewhere or is it still up for discussion?

I have a black car, I´m thinking black reflectors, the question would be what color on the projectors... The only other color on the car besides black is the red brake calipers.. Would it be possible to make the projector "Cailper-red" to match? I reckon that could stand out quite a lot, and maybe make up for the "lack of" angel Eyes.

Just thinking..
