Default AWRIGHT! I'VE HAD IT!

anyone know where I can get a simple chrome-looking (chrome, silver, aluminum I just don't care anymore) license plate frame with...and here is the kicker...audi rings at bottom of the frame?

I want it I want it I want IT!

and while I'm ranting, why does the audi boutique have nothing resembling a license plate frame? Oh sure I can get a fricken putter and a solid silver TT TToilet paper holder, but after blowing my cash on the exclusive Audi monogrammed english riding saddle...

I now return you to hopefully saner posts. If anyone knows where to find the plate frame, pass it on. k?thx.

Default and while I'm at it...

Now you too can buy a 1:87 scale plastic model of an Audi windbreaker!

Default always slow, so to speak... [ot]

when running my code, I have a lot of free time. I can't design new software tools without the results from the old ones usually. if you see a day where I'm not posting a lot, well I've either got a bunch of admin stuff to do...or someone thought of a good multitasking project for me.

Does the 1:87 scale plastic model include women's sizes?

Default Re: AWRIGHT! I'VE HAD IT!

How about "billet" aluminum, CNC machined with rings logo and finished to match the rest of the trim?

It's doable. Without the logo a brushed plate frame is $20.99 from Summit (SUM-G831000). All we need is the rings in appropriate scale epoxied on.

Anyone else interested?

There's the ingenuity that made this TT Forum great. I knew it was just a matter of time.

Default Hmm, not sure that would fit my idea...

I was thinking of having the rings inset in the frame material, with a black background possibly... Here's something I cobbled together in photoshop.

...though if its too hard to find, the epoxy solution might be best. Its certainly a great way of thinking outside the problem.
