Yes thats the one, I have another supercharged one coming for another company also after I have finished this one.
Just waiting for the crank/cam trigger pattern, So if anyone knows it may save me some time.

Well I thought we would do something new to the compomotive wheel centres as they came with a chrome covering and we thought they looked shite and cheap
So we got the centers sprayed in satin black, I then smoothed off the comp logo in the caps centre.
then measured the diameter and depth of the dish in the centre, then I cut out 4 round alloy plates that would fit in flush,
Once done I got the discs anodized black then on their return I lazer etched the mini logo into each disc
Im very hapy of the out come as it was our 1st attempt
