mrbrown1 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Whoever said modding the plate was easy, well, it's not. The following took bloody 4 hours for the first attempt, and the positions are slightly off. But doesn't look too bad at this point. Things to do: - Hand polish the extra holes I've cut. They're quite rough - Fix some of the positioning - Find better fitting screws - Brushing the plate into a satin finish; then plating it with white gold. Forget about the Geneve wave decorations, it's impossible without the right tools. In the photo, I've simply polished the original swirl plate to a mirror shine.

Samurai Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 An excellent attempt bro. Looks really good. Anyday much better than the stock bare plate. Am sure you'll get it right in another couple of attempts. Let me know if you would be willing to offer this as a service here. Well done.
