    Hey Rairch,

    I haven't reached 5 posts yet to be able to PM, but I included the details along with the payment I sent via Paypal. Let me know if you received it or if you need me to email you directly. Thanks.

    It's cool, don't worry about it :)

    Still awaiting a fair few details so that could take this week to get everything through.

    Will be manufacturing the ones who have sent everything through this week :)

    Small Update!

    All plates now manufactured!!!

    Still awaiting details from a few members but can get another run in next week so no mad rush!

    Also, have been talking to the guys about the machine hire and it seems it will possible to get a single order system working very soon!

    This wouldn't have been possible without the help and support from all the forum members on here!

    Amazing stuff from you guy's!

    Also looking into manufacturing custom plates for any laptop model aswell :)

    Will be updating shortly on this with details and prices!

    Again, thanks to everyone involved and looking forward to shipping out on Friday!!!

    Cheers

    Rairch


    p.s As a small ask from everyone who has ordered.
    When you receive your custom plate (and if you like them ;) ), could I ask for a small favour and leave a review in the form of some rep please?! That'd be great, ta very much!

    Cool! :)

    Any Laptop Model custom nameplate is now available!

    Have sorted everything out so that i can process requests on a single order basis :)

    Shipping would obviously stay the same, but the cost per plate would increase slightly from £12 GBP to £14 GBP.

    If anyone is interested i will put up a thread in the For Sale seciont. (Will speak to a mod regarding this!)

    Thanks again to everyone involved! All packed last night and ready to ship tomorrow! :)

    Yeah no worries.

    Made a mate one for his macbook pro. Does look good.

    Will only be using the same plates as all the first run of AW ones, as hard to source different types.

    Thanks again :)

    Got mine too :) Thanks for the quick delivery. The plate looks awesome. Stuck it at the bottom. Feel like there would be a bit of a colour mismatch if it was stuck on the top. Cheers again.

    Was trying to find a similar colour to match the epic silver of the AW case. No joy with that unfortunately. Still, I think it contrasts well on the underbelly.

    Even for within UK that is crazy fast postal service. My rent cheque mailed monthly to my landlord 5 blocks away takes about 4 days to arrive. My parents live 300 meters from the Dell headquarters in Canada and it took 5 days to receive a letter from them...

    Received mine as well, considering that I am in Singapore now, I am honestly surprised that I received it this soon, my parcels from Hong Kong don't even reach me this fast! Cheers.

    Got mine as well, infact I ordered a second plate as backup incase everything turns ugly as I try to relocate my first plate. Both plates arrived within a day @Rairch informed of the delivery

    Tried a few locations, decided to keep it right below the subwoofer in the end

    I got mine! Man @Rairch your packaging and the quality of this nameplate fulfills my OCD needs! Hahahaha ;)

    GREAT job I may want more in the future. Can't get over how epic it looks!

    Haha, thank you very much. Glad you like it! :)

    That looks ace against that skin. Is it carbon fibre?

    Don't know how you managed to get the Alienhead in focus on the plate. Found that really difficult to show off, as never caught the light properly.

    Looks really great!
