seems photobucket continues to be annoying, firstly removing hosting, then re-authorising hosting, but with a photobucket legend, then now changing their rules again, now decide to retrospectively impose a storage limit below the number of pics i have on their site, and fogging all the associated pix!!! gits! anyway, i think you can click the pic and it takes you to a clear version, just a clicking faff.... anyhoo

i know its 'steppy' but it is less than 7mm tall and 27mm long.... i could sand it, but no! no-one noticed the previous one was a mercedes that had been tweaked with a porsche screen on backwards, so a little stepping is fine!!
