Nice one Little Dave. I saw that in a dream last night.

My plans are now becoming a reality. Pictures of the Mark 1 test version are below.

Do not paint the box and car - you will be adding further weight and increasing the loss of mpg.

By the way I have noted a rather large seam around the box. This will have an extremely deleterious effect on the lift - but you knew that.

ps I have never been in the air cadets

Ah I forgot about the weight of the paint. I do need to sand the seam out but it is the Mark 1.

Being really boring here but the bluff fronted area of the box coupled with the total lack of airfloww under the box will give you the frontal drag of a small truck and anhialate your fuel efficientcy. The air will be all messed up and wont flow over the back of the car properly and stop those aerodynamics from working as well.

They bored us to death at work about bloody aerodynamics and drag to get us to save diesel driving the trucks around and believe me you want the sharp end foreward. Probably cost you at least 10per cent having it that way round.
