no no,i cut the s2 tailgate where the spoiler stops,so its only about 250-300mm deep,ill do the same with the saph 1.they will look like shelves when mounted.the s2 tailgate is rotten on the inside but mint on the outside so i came up with the idea of cutting it and putting it on the wall.i want an 88 spec in grey as that would be the same as my 1st rst,a crystal blue sapph 1 as thats the colour of my car the now,i have a red 90 spec 1 already and to finish it a caspian blue rs1600i 1 to finish it off.all will look just like they would on the car.gonna have to mount them somewhere where i wont walk into them though!
