As I understand it, having been following this project on another forum for a year almost, its not going to be "functional" as if it was it would rip the boot lid off the car... lol

It is purely to show what can be done and that he can make the middle part of the spoiler swivel - Guess it might have moved on since I last read up on the project though!

Still an interesting project... would be interesting to see some newer pictures
