You'll find the answer to all your questions if you do a search for "tail" and "chop".
But try this one for size!! I did!!
And so have a few others I think......

For the Shift-tech tail you DO cut the tail off!
About 85mm if I remember correctly.
Its a much much shorter version than the carbon dp job.

I've just ordered a Tail Chop Kit from Competition Werkes.

http://secure.compwerkes.com/Detail.bok?no=299

I couldn't find a stockist here so I've had to order it from the States.

Will let you know what it's like when it arrives.

Here you go then, it's a work in progress rather than the finished article though...

The Comp Werkes kit would have been perfect out of the box if I were re-using the standard tail light & numberplate light, but as I've fitted a Foxtail integrated tail/numberplate light, I'm having to make a spacer to move the light rearwards otherwise it doesn't illuminate the numberplate.

They're well made (stainless), but I sprayed mine black as I don't do "shiney".

As I wasn't using the stock tail & number plate lights I had to fabricate a spacer to move the tail light rearwards.

Whether your number plate will fit or not is down to the size of plate you've got - I don't do tea-tray plates either - I run 7x5" plate & I would have thought that that should fit between the Termi's fine.
