OK, so I know this looks completely rediculous, but I'm amazed at how stable the rack is when its attached. What you reckon the chances are of:
A. Getting gel cracks across the back of the clam
B. The rear diffuser falling off
C. Getting stopped by the Police

Do you not run the risk of some serious clam damage or tipping backwards?
Looks odd...

Yikes

The Exige clams are notoriously easy to damage if you have left loose objects in the boot - they are hand laid using a different process from the Elise and seem to be a lot more fragile. So, I'd be very wary of cracks appearing in the gel coat.
Otherwise, good effort

Just to set the record straight. Ive no intention of going on the Queens highway with the car looking like this
I reckon the glassfibre wouldnt support the weight and constant flex, think you'd end up with gel cracks.
I'm completely lost on the "Right Said Fred" thing though.

Scott - I suspect most under the age of 35 may be in the same boat
A clue
I wonder which one's Fred & which one's Richard?
