Interesting Hatch Mod on Ebay

Hmmmmm [&:]

How to reduce the size of a perfectly practical boot and commit styling disater in one fell swoop [:'(]
 
Only £300, thats not a bad price when you consider the price I was quoted by RAC Autowindscreens for a replacement hatch, when some total d&*khead put a brick through mine a couple of months ago. I called my insurance Co. to make a claim, I thought the £50 windscreen XS would cover a new one. RAC quoted me, wait for it now folks, I hope your all sitting comfortably £4000.00 for a replacement, direct form Stuttgart, as no new ones were available in this country. That price, I was informed by the friendly man at RAC was the best discount he could find. The insurance wouldn't cough up, they did tell me that they would write the car off for me. I managed to get a good 2nd hand hatch for £60 and fitted myself, saving a write off. This is all unfortunatly true. You try calling your insurance copany for a rear hatch quote!!!
 
£4,000 is just for the glass then you have to transfer across the spoiler etc. as you'd have found if they'd gone for it .

I'd rather write the car off than have that fibreglass monstrosity on the back.
 
We were thinking of buying an old hatch and putting lexan in it and just having that for race days. Should be relatively cheap and avoid having to put that crap on your car. Yuck. In terms of lightness I would think that removing the glass is one serious weight reduction not sure how much though?
 
I assume that the water collects on the flat panel and the leaks perfectly into the back seat on braking.
Good idea.
You get a scare at a corner, slam on the brakes and instantly water enters the cabin to cool you down.
Kev.
