Have you got a closer view of the inside Mike - I obviously don't need one but I'm geeky and want to see the different layer build up of the CF. I take it Marcus is doing these?

Every car manufacturer ive been involved with is VERY protective of people fraudulently claiming that an aftermarket product is in fact a genuine article, the logo does this.
Im personally going to be quite surprised if Mike doesnt end up in court at some point over that one, unless he has somehow managed to secure permission from ford first!

Unfortunately the mould taken off the lid that I gave Marcus to copy, picked out the logo of the original Grp A airbox. I hadn't even about the implications of what Chip had said 
. I will obviously instruct Marcus to make sure this does not come out in future production runs (this was the first prototype ).

On a slightly less simple to solve note, you could of course be accused of copying the design as well, like some people say about the somerset plenums vs swedish ones.

I'm talking morally, as only the Ford logo is copy-righted, the lid is not . And as has been said by others, I hardly think Ford will pursue myself or Marcus over a few lids when other companies are doing the same thing for the other parts mentioned.

Dave,
Worse than that - I shit in the bed .
I always thought you were stupid . One is not made any more and hasn't been for several years and one is still in production. But apart from that, absolutely NO difference

I agree ford are unlikely to pursue you though providing you dont use their logo.
