Who said the Exige is impractical!

:lol:


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

:shock: :lol:

Yikes :shock: 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 :D

Just to set the record straight. Ive no intention of going on the Queens highway with the car looking like this :lol:
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. :scratch

Scott - I suspect most under the age of 35 may be in the same boat :D

A clue :wink:

I wonder which one's Fred & which one's Richard?
