Hi all, I've been busy, and thought I might share my little project with you all.
Much as I love my xtx the one thing that lets its looks down ( for me ) is the huge! Tail end! Now I have looked everywhere for a decent bolt on tail tidy that doesn't require any! Cutting of the original stuff, but alas nout! ( Nothing to my satisfaction anyway ) So I decided to do it my self. It's not finished yet but will be soon, so the following pictures are of my progress to date, feel free to comment if you wish.

Ok so this is the mock up design I've settled on, I decided to go the whole hog and make it a tail tidy/ pan.

Messy bit.

Bit off red spread.

Bit off filler....lots actually!

I've tried to keep the styling the same as the rest of the body work

I've mounted it as simply as possible with 2 (screws at the moment) soon to be s/s button bolts, to the flange at the bottom used to attach the original rubber splash guard, and at the top with 2 bolts to the original frame tags on the underside of the tail.

Final rub and into primer she goes, few it's taking a lot longer than I thought!

Nice one mate. Is the whole tray hollow, useable? What is the shell material you've used? Looks like a good job!
