Are you going to put some kind of boot spoiler on it?

Like the chin spoiler BTW, suits it.

I think the bluey colour could work well too actually.

I must say, I'm not a huge fan of the shape of these, but it should be a cool car when it's done. Love the splitter, think it makes a huge difference!

All the floor is shot on it, it's ideal to drop over an E30 BMW 3 series though.
