it should look really good, I have thought about something similar, clio or rs focus.
I have heard that some people in racing cut out the spare wheel well and get the aero working from much further forward in the car and shape to the rear wheels, but all of this makes it a hell of a lot of work unless you are racing and regs allow it.

I've always fancied putting one of those on the maestro.
For road use one could revert to a mk1 boot.

I like it, had thought of doing a similar thing with an evo diffuser.
As far as downforce, cant see it making any difference. Not that you would really want much on the rear anyway.

Why not go the whole hog, and make the Zed flat bottomed......... oh and make the rear wing move, so a bit of DRS...

the idea is the zs hatch doesnt need much downforce on the rear but a little stabilsing, a spoiler adds downforce but also drag,a diffuser will add downforce and stability but not drag. The saloon spoiler only adds about 10kgs worth of downforce if that, but a heck lot of drag. so in theory this should be what im after

I think the aerodynamic balance is pretty spot on. I can see a performance gain with a hatch/saloon without the extreme spoiler, but with a spoiler you will still have all the drag/downforce, any extra may affect stability/grip/traction on the front, amplified by the fact it is FWD. Greater downforce on the rear is a different story on a RWD though....
I think it would have to be a completely cosmetic mod, without knowing how much downforce it will put down.
