It was the photos you emailed me Chris that gave me the idea. Still just an idea, I'll probably leave it as a spoilerless stradale to start with.

I meant because mine will be for sale soon.

The boot lid on mine has been stiffened because, while a car with a rear spoiler can get away with a warped boot lid, (it can happen) a car without a rear spoiler would look awful if the boot lid didn't maintain its shape. The dark blue Hawk I used to own had an alloy boot lid, but retained the fibreglass stiffening parts bonded onto the underside. Very neat. I'm sure that was yet another Graham Bates creation?

I had one made by Geoff Turton in ally too when the Pirelli scheme was added. The boot lid was the only panel on my car I wash;t happy with, it was fine when first built but sunk a little when it got really hot. Geoff used the internal panels from the 'glass lid when making the ally one, effectively just replacing the outer skin. Simple job if you've got a suitable folder!

Bugger. Your car's pretty special and worth more than an unfinished kit though, so out of the price range of my Pacific Peso. Other wise I would've loved it.
