Hi.
So i decided to make the headlamp shells from resin (easier to machine)
Here's 4 headlamp shells made from a Home made mold there from polyester resin, i painted them in primer to see any imperfections but didnt think they came out too bad, so now onto hollowing the inside out to fit an LED and make a reflector prior to thinking about the lense.
Cheers
