I'm liking that a lot. Heat wouldn't be an issue in NZ; don't know about Cairns...

That would look great with a little bedazzling.

Nice work, it looks really professional!

Could be useful down here at the moment...

they are designed to stop the carb from icing on the cold mornings or when you are driving through the snow.

NO,NO,NO It,s to keep the engine temperature up and stop the carby from freezing, very common in England , not so common in Australia, this is the "Snail" with his original BLMC Clubman Grill Muff, on the weekend I drove through Kyneton in the early morning and it was -2 deg , without the grill muff I would,nt have been able to make the trip to Echuca and back.

I have completely covered the grill on my Morris 1100 with black plastic, it looks surprisingly good.
But the carby cutting out on minus 5° mornings still continues. The difference is that it recovers quicker.
