Believe it or not, it's a federally mandated "filler" to prevent a child from getting trapped in the void space should the hood (bonnet) get closed. US politicians trying to protect us from ourselves ......

I knew it was there just to take up space.

Wasn't that a question in a mag or a forum (on here?) or some such a while ago?

Memory's going, but that looks familiar...

Think you will find it was a question on LEW for a prize

No need for a filler in the back because USA and Canada cars have a safety release cable with a glow in the dark handle to open the rear boot from the inside. BTW, all new cars in America have this inside trunk release system.It is the law.

? So what do Americans do these days if they want to kidnap someone ? As you can't lock your victim in the trunk any more ?

Haha, yeah, that reminds me... Clyde from Lotus USA told me that they stuffed him inside the rear hatch of an Esprit to make sure the glow in the dark handle works... It broke off in his hand and he was stuck. Scared the crap out of him.

When I was a kid I actually did get stuck in the spare tire well in an old station wagon, after my smaller friend was able to get out... His dad had to rescue me.

Lotus also found that they could fit two small children in the boot of an Elise, and those cars halso have the glow in the dark releases inside.

The bump in the front is just stupid....
