Second:
cut into a black aluminium thinfoil the correct measurement and make a dry test/fitting to see if goes in perfectly20200508_190150.jpg20200508_153949.jpg

Third:
Use a rivet maker like the trumpeter and trace the rivets on the black thinfoil use the ruler to remain strait..
Finally:
Glue the metal panel...and this is it..
