    It's just a loop of wire, crimped onto the lock mechanism.

    Thinking about doing a splitter/undertray in plywood;





    Problem will be how to attach it at the back of the car (to the chassis, behind the engine) - it needs to be quick release so I can remove the whole front clamshell easily.



    Work on revisions to the rear bumper to allow me to fit the new rear diffuser;













    And now back on it's wheels, ready to go off to Simpsons Exhausts next week to be converted to side-exit system;



    Yes, I know the headlamp stickers are wonky.........new ones arriving from Ian Bennett next week.

    Coming together well! Rear diffuser should ease flow really well now. Headlights seem quite square rather than narrow but can you not peel them off again with some heat?

    Just a thought will all the rear wheel wells be enclosed for the diffuser to work properly ?

    Yes, it will all need to be enclosed, but how to achieve that is another question again.....

    Thank-you.

    It would be even better if i if I could go back to my 1000cc turbo engine. Hopefully that will happen in the not too distant future.

    Never noticed the cf rear quarters, very nice
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
