Does anyone know about the composition of the boot lid? I am thinking of drilling a couple of small halogen lights into the thick section either side of the latch. It sounds hollow, but is there actually any air in there, and could I pass wires from there to the bottom of the lid, on the inside, to conceal them?

Alternatively, has anyone got a boot lid that's been trashed that I could play with?

Cheers,

Rich

Halogen lights? Inside or outside?

Inside - on a tilt-switch, so that when I lift the boot lid, they come on and illuminate my beautiful boot.

My MX5 has a neat bit of kit in it which does the job really well, and my Chimaera doesn't. And it does my head in not being able to see into the boot.

So, before I drill a hopeful hole inside the boot lid, I wondered whether anyone knew whether the lid was hollow or solid?
