I was tempted to leave it but i have come to the conclusion it does need a spoiler to keep it as a special edition.

If I was going to loose the spoiler I'd buy another boot lid and keep the original as is. I've just bought a low line rear spoiler for the new age.

Yeah you do tend to end up in some interesting shapes and scratching hell out of your arms too, although being skinny and not that tall like me certainly helps but you really suffer with cramp those shapes bring.

Certainly looking a totally different car to last year and all the hard work has paid off, great work Matt

Well it did until yesterday when the kitcar bonnet decided to fall over on to the front of the scoob.

Scoob will be going back in for the dent to be pulled and resprayed shortly and so is the kitcar for a respray. Tis was not a good day.
