I'm having a Fake Fuel Cell made for the Rear of My next corsa, It's something i have never seen done in the UK but I havent got my Corsa yet and need measurements for the rear of a Corsa it needs to have a Standard Rear Bumper tho.....
the Fake Cell will sit 3" below the bumper but i need measurements for..
width - leaving and inch gap from the Backbox and same gap from edge of cell to side of car
length - an inch back from bumper to an inch before rear beam.
Height - from boot floor to 3 inches below the bumper
Any help would be appreciated and heres a little taster of what it'll look like...
Will be finished in Stainless steel tho

it's basically a fuel tank that replaces your old one to be positioned anywhere on the car...
Mines will be fake as my mates making it and it wont comply with an MOT if he tries to make one

Dom how is it Chavvy?? No-one except you lots gonna know the bloody difference?? I think it looks good and it's something different and cos I'm not puttin a Huge kit on the car i want something that will attract a bit of attention and to make it Different..
Holden does have the cell.. it's behind the bumper in black with Holden written on it.. 
Adam I'll get a real one in the Future but this is just a temp... as all my money is going on other things for the car.. I want the Fake one the now to see if it's gonna be ok aswell dont wanna wait for while get a real one then find out that it's gonna be gettin damaged left right and centre!

Adam it's being made out of very thin Stainless, it weighs about as much as a spare wheel in the boot
