	obviously firmly planted in your cheek. 
Well yes, and no...

5mm sheet of Polypropalyne is cheap and will flatten off the underside
of the car nicely.
Lowering a car to 1/8 inch off the ground is what I have been told is
the point at which formula1 ground effect was used in the 70's.
Deseaming has been widely regarded as a good way of cleaning a cars
aerodynamic profile. Some people cut off an entire seam and wonder why
their car 'pops' open ( don't laugh this was a common mistake with Mini
owners ) you should grind, weld, grind and weld along the seam/gutter no
more than 4 inches at a time.... best that you do not start at one end
and move along, cut 4 inches,weld, leave a gap of 4 inches then cut
futher up  ____----____----____----____----    then do the bits that you
leave.
On the works Triumph TR8 they deseamed and welded a roll cage in at the
same time ( actually splitting the skin of the internal mounts and
pillars welding the cage in then welding through the cat seam on the
outside... that car was stiff and safe.

>	Thanks for the ideas anyway (however sarcastic some of
	them may be :) 

Sarcastic??? oh you mean the skip!  That may have been ( you knew this
because the skip idea would  damage the radiator )...  But surely you
will allow a man to joke?  No oh well then.
But you cannot seriously mention Duct tape and not expect a shot across
the bows, can you?
