[FoarGeez]

juz wanna share my "holiday-nothin-better-to-do-project"...

items needed:
- drill - with 2mm drill bit
- acrylic (plexi board) [those material for number plate's PLATE] - 3mm thick
- acrylic cutter
- file - semi round face
- stationary set
- hex saw

> get the plate measured, n cut to desired size using the acrylic cutter
> measure the distance for each meter n draw a 53mm circle.. not 52mm
> then drill the holes leaving few gaps around the circle
> after that use the hex saw n cut the 'PATH' of the drilled holes
> smoothen the rough edges using the semi round file

> due to rush, unpatience late night result..
> switch off light n sleep

> next morning, manage to finish with a new plate..
> and stick the 'famous' Kedai Abang cf sticker..

> gauges doesnt fit properly, so use pvc tape to make sure nice fitting
> the gauges harness beeing bolt on.. better be safe then sorry. hopefully no one interested at this cheapo gauges especially those guys wearing helmets..

> done.. n had the wiring fix at acc shop... later that evening..
> drove to home
> stay few minutes in the car n smile to appreciate work..
