Just to show the butt in the same thread.

We´re mounting the Badster sideskirts next Friday. Also adding a carbon fibre diffuser any day. And we´re gonna rock the world with some crazy vinyls, love or hate coming up!

Swedish article, some nice pics: http://www.sportbile...tage.php?id=153

Do you mean the cover at the back? The "Exige-lid"? I will work that out for you, check back here. It´s not very handy, but it´s a blast when talking looks. Well - not "looks back" from inside. Adding a rearview cam soon!

Edit: Yo Carlos, no offence taken, of course! I thought he would like to see how it is attached. I have those images here somewhere! Damn, that car is nice! ;-)

The cam mounted on the hood while taking this one! http://www.sportbile...r/07swoosh4.jpg

You don´t want to drive fast with the camera on, it doesn´t feel THAT safe... :-)
Totally even surface is an absolute must-have, and then you just push the car while cam is taking a picture with a long exposure time. I can take a picture with 30 second exposure without getting it unsharp if the floor is absolutely flat!

I will probably "have to" buy an arm like this, then you can get the REAL deal! It´s not at all expensive!

Well, pretty easy, but it´s not something you´d like to do every day. This is probably something Badster will fix on later "generations" of their beautiful Exige-coupe! It really does a *lot* to the looks. It sounds like a joke, but several spectators on gas stations has asked me how many million Swedish kronor it costs, that´s a guess on 75.000-150.00 GBP / 100.000-200.000 Euro! :-D It didn´t happen when it was original. Exige coupe and hardtop is a great combination.

Adding their Badster side skirts this Friday, so expect another photo update soon!
