That's a great safety feature, Rob, but I'm sure a helmet would work better.

Cracking looking car.
I have seen this on a lot of Z1s but is there a reason for the black strip between the boot and the bumper?

All Z1’s have it, it’s part of the aerodynamic design, (rear downforce) the exhaust box is side to side and shaped like a wing, air flows over it and out of the aperture between bumper and boot lid.
