Nah the estate's just too long to look good in skirts, and it'd need the entire arse end chopping off and replacing to look good from behind!

One good thing on that site is where they've decided to shove a CCFL tube to display it - not somewhere stupid like the footwells, but in the boot! What a fantastic idea! I've just ordered a pair of white tubes from KustomPCs (http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2138.html) for £11. Handy that car electrics work at 12vdc like PC mods - it'll be a piece of cake to hang a molex connector from the boot light and stick that pair of tubes to the parcel tray! WOO! I've always wished the estate had more than just a puny little light for the whole of that huge boot!

Well its going to cost you circa £700 approx for the kit to be painted and fitted, unless you do it yourself :D but I expect you will want a pro job without any hassle, as for the extra cost I imagine somewhere between £100 - £200 extra for them to modify and make it fit?

Go to your local body shop and ask them, no harm in finiding out prior to paying out....

Which kit is it you like the look of?
