The large number plate holder that came with my bike has been bugging me, not least because of the ugly chrome plastic numberplate surround advertising Northside.
I noticed Dez had a cool minimalist one made from sheet aluminium, so I shamelessly copied it over lunch, using 3mm aluminium sheet:

I put some gussets in where the fold is, and TIG welded them in, so it won't flex and fall off

Now for some paint, and then I can put it on my bike.
So that's it. The start of the slippery slipe.
Great job
