I've seen them attached to the diagonal of a cage in a lot of rally cars and some road cars, and I have some people fix them behind the passenger seat, bit restrictive though and I have seen people strap it to the inside of the car against the rear quater window and arch area...

only way to get a boot full of ice is to strip out the rear seats, build a false floor that sits over the spare wheel (but cut a hole so that you can access the spare wheel still) and then kit out the back of the car with ICE.

saw a blue nova with silver flames on the side at trax.

he had done a lot in his interior. and made a feature of having a spacesaver wheel - astra or similar? sprayed same metallic as his car, and was on a diagonal on the side of his boot build.

you could add a bit of land rover cool and stick it in a black wheel box on the outside of the tailgate. you could even airbrush the box with a horse if you like
