I originally looked at placing it mid-point on the C-Pillar.  Not easy.

Moving to the boot is alot simpler.  A 90o bend is all you need.  A hole cutter sorts the plastic trim within the boot and an aero-filler cap completes the job :)

It was easy to find a route bud.  Just strip out your boot plastics and you will see :)

That\'s quite a subtle relocation.  Don\'t try and put it on the other side of the car like Ash did...:eek:

^^^I\'m not sure where the fuel filler is, but I\'m pretty sure it wasn\'t where it started out...

I thought he broke down/crashed in the fast lane? I remember seeing some pics on here a few years ago and the car was parked in the fast lane
