Custom Fuse Box Lid

So... another crazy idea that will 'hopefully' turn out ok.....

 

When visit's Blackies, I was shown a fuse top top cover which was sold as a lid, which obviously was meant to be stuck on... Stylish!

 

So I had the idea, what if one was moulded in? Hoping to make any top cover look like it was meant to be there would give it purpose.

 

I thought my mate had made me a Logo cut fuse box top, ended up I was sent the CLEANEST piece of sheet I've ever seen. The MRS said she wants one for her make up :D It's honestly like a mirror.

 

So, I've got my fuse box lid from keron, and while a few other thing's are still going on I'd thought I'd try and mould this to the fuse box lid, and due to flex I'd try and strengthen the inside of the lid to reduce flex. Then smooth around the edges between the cover and the box while NOT marking the shiney shiney top. Recondition the fuse box, and spray it matt black.. Then sell it on for what the materials cost me and cross my fingers it looks nice.

 

Sorry for shocking photos, my camera lense has become scratched.

Was too big, so I sent it back and got a brushed finish one in return! Service without a smile. PITA dealing with some companies..

 

It's perfect size though on this one. I'll give this ago later try and get a smooth finish on it without ruining the brushed surface. Should look nice when its sprayed matt black.
