Which version did you get ?
1.0 L or 1.3L, maybe even the sacred XFi version ?

So, last year, I decided to play around with a little aerodynamics!
If you want spred and great MPG, that's the way to go.

Taking off the cardboard and lots of wood I used for structure, I know it weighed over 100 lbs... Probably closer to 150 or 175 lbs...
That's a sizable increase for the tiny Metro.
It won't matter as much @ constant speed on the motorway, but it will hurt in stop & go town traffic.

There will be pics soon, if I can get them on here, and updates as often as I can manage.
You'll need a few more posts (5 or 10) in order to be allowed to put up pics & links.
If you split your answers a bit, you'll get there quickly

You might be able to create a personal album already (in your user control panel) but I'm not sure about that.

My overall intentions are to provide examples of the simplicity and cheap budget that aerodynamic modifications can be done at. It may not be appropriate for every person to spend increadibly much modding their vehicle...
Look at Weather Spotter 's Matrix boattail.
It isn't the prettiest but it does the job.
For a prettier one, look at 3-Wheeler's Insight boattail.
