QUOTE=stribo;761192]Yes, saw that,the fact you're ducting air downwards through the intercooler, to my mind would give lift, of course, I could be wrong, it has been known. [/QUOTE]

But any lift (if there was any due the intake it's outlet in the vacuum at the rear,absolutely no idea what speed this will take effect ?,i'll have to check with my frosties aerodynamic card ) There's still a small matter of engine no 2 which will help keep the rear on the ground.

Some front engined cars get front end lift.

I'm sure that any odd aero issues can be overcome as and when I encounter them

I've been putting this job off for quite some time, but in the end it was easy, I taped up the inside and outside of the window with gaffer tape, then hit it with a lump hammer



Cut a piece of lexan to size and put a few temporary screws in it.



took it back off and drilled out my fuel filler hole.

Love it colin, the simple approach is always the best! Tape + hammer = job done!

[claymore]

Now that I know it's not to bad a job, I'll do the tailgate next week.

[claymore]

Air intake all finished, and just started on the duct for it.

[claymore]

Looks like I may have picked up a new sponsor, so look out for some nice new custom alloy fuel tanks making an appearance soon

[claymore]

Rear glass out, ready to fit the lexan tomorrow.

Will the lexan be bent to mimic the original glass with a nice opening in it, for the ducted air to escape with out blow your nice new plasti-glass out ???

If you look closely at the first picture you will see some marker pen marks towards the top of the lights, that's how high the lexan will go, above that will be open, although I might have another piece on the very top of the hatch.

then thinking on why would you need it as your roof spoiler could hide this anyway, was originally thinking that the curved glass was a nice original feature, but what does it matter if it's not visible, great progress though Colin
