Hi, really appreciate the reply.
Ive seen the crx ( if i remember correctly it was yours ) with the trailer behind, its a great idea but a lot of my driving is in built up areas and some rough country british ( single lane ) roads , and probably isn't going to help much - as in , it may get in the way of other traffic, reversing parking etc etc
It would be great on the motorway though.

A frame with elastic cord inside in a rather air tight bag could be inflated to be the boat tail and then deflated. it would probably not fold up properly when you deflate. . .

ChipX,
Not sure what the legal requirements are but can you fit smaller mirrors?
Tape over the joint at the front where the bonnet and bumper meet.
Tape the joints around the headlights.
Remove the roof mounted antenna.
Fit a wiper cover.
Under front dam mounted flex cover.

Not sure how these will go but they are all worth a look.

Cheers , Pete.
