thx!

All of the photos I've got are on my ipad so will get the camera out at the weekend.

The key is finding parts that all fit together, I got some guttering that was 76mm in diameter, the drain pipe was 68mm so it fits in the guttering perfectly. I then did a load of searches on Google and eBay and found that you can get 68mm caps for hub caps, they come in quite a range of designs so you can get a unique look. I was restricted by the size of the shelf I was using and so went for one which was quite thin. I went for these: 4 * 63mm - 68mm Bezel Logo Edge Spare Alloy Wheel Centre Caps VW R8 RS4 RS5 RS6 | eBay

I then cut the drain pipe into 10mm tubes and the guttering into 270mm lengths, I then drilled holes in both and bolted the tubes onto the guttering. The centre caps then just slot in! (I also drilled extra holes for some blue lighting.) I was planning to paint it all but decided the black looked pretty good.

I went for double height but you could go as high as you like.

Happy to answer any questions you might have!
