Engraved Door Sills

anyone know of someone that can either re-engrave my current personalized sills from AM, or flip em over and engrave the opposite side?

i found one guy overseas but he just makes stickers to put on em.. i want engraving...

a friend has a laser engraving machine BUT said it doesn't show up on metal unless anodized?

Contact Tony Hall at AMOC or Pistonheads. He makes very nice sill plaques. Also makes a great set of stainless steel ***** for stereo, satnav & climate control for early cars with the original dash.

111R is infamous around these parts
I took mine into a local engraving shop, they lifted the previous owner's name and put mine in.

Send me your plates I will mill them on the flip side no problem, diamond cut them in my CNC machine, as hobby.
I am busy sourcing some stainless for a guy on the forum who I will cut his name into with the logo, very bespoke will post a pic
Search on this form for pics of my personal set

Just be mindful I'm in Cape Town.....the coldest place on the globe right now

Rubbish. Whoever told you this is no friend of yours, mine, or Tony Hall's. Tony does the proper work. Provided me a quote within 12 hours of my request. I haven't placed my order yet as I remain unsettled as to what I want mine to read.

Maybe Tony has upgraded his process to now do laser engraving, but I bought a set many years ago and can confirm that, at least back then, they were most definitely printed stickers on a stainless metal plate. Looked nice, though.

Cool. I'll be getting a laser engraver by the end of the year. Looking forward to playing around with it.
