Progress!

Isn't it great, all the things you can create with a 3D Printer?

Did you design and print it yourself, or download the design, or use a service like Shapeways?

[Donster]

Neither........just gave an ashtray to a co-worker, he scanned it and then printed it.

Cool, eh?

Very neat.

Now, remove the ashtray light bulbs so it doesn't melt and wrinkle up.

Or use LEDs.

I've been working on changing my ash trays to cell phone holders/chargers.  It seems to be a better use of space.

[Donster]

LEDs! :-)

I can't tell from the pics, but does this Fiero have the Euro-style parking/driving lights?

Nope, special permit to keep original, as it is registered as an old-timer.

If I register as an old-timer, will that allow me to stay as I am now?

If you should happen on some of those Euro-style housings in good condition, I may be interested.

The rule/law in Germany is: The car MUST be overwhelmingly original, as it was when manufactured.
I got gigged on the Formula rims, the inspector knew that they were not original on the Coupe, but thankfully I had the original rims also, and only have my winter tires on the offset Formula rims. They are real stingy about the original state of the car here. You can register mods here in Germany also (expensive), just not as old-timers. The advantage of registering as an old-timer is cheap insurance and much lower car tax. Makes no sense if you ask me.

My Fiero would not pass.

Somewhere, I thought you posted about a chrome turn stalk, but I can't find that post.

[Fierofool]

Might have been PK.
