It is a possibility, I suppose, but I simply don't like the proportions of the G46. I prefer the "sitting on the rear axle" style of the C, D, E types, 300 SLR, Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, Maserati...

Yep, SE5 here. I was also thinking sound rather than rust proofing, although if I was going G46 route, then sound is less of an issue (as you won't hear much over the exhaust:D) so I'd just tidy it...
