Next step is to go for louvres in the top of the bonnet as per some supercharged cars in period. Lots of work though! Was done on our one a long time ago and for some reason I always think Ulsters look odd without them.

Thanks. I know why your car has the louvred bonnet top. 
Aside from lack of ability I'm not going there because I can actually only think of one period car with louvres on the top, and I've never intended to slavish copy any specific car. There may have been more but I don't know them.
