Rear End - Modification

Postby TonyS » 31 Dec 2014 15:46

Has anyone made a subtle modification which hides or partially hides the spare wheel panel that shows below the rear bumper?

I'm thinking of something far less radical than the Rimmer rear lower skirt, just looking for ideas to tidy that area up really.

Painted black below a black bumper I have never really noticed it. You could try forming some sort of splitter tray from the well up to below bumper level.

Not sure how a subtle mod would work, I have never thought it looked out of place.

Same here but then you don't notice anything when the whole car is black. You have to be careful when adding anything down there that it doesn't act a a parachute.

Hi,

Sure Mark Grinnal done some form of cover up of spare wheel well on some of his cars, will have to look through some old snaps etc.

Cheers John

Hi,

Found it, actually makes it more of a feature than a cover up looking at the picture !

OR there is always this approach -

I like that TR7 badge on the silver car. Where would one acquire such an item?
