Gutted, I thought you were going all 4x4 with it haha

haha.. going up a curb would be off roading for me!

Todays missions..

From Bexley to Twickinham for this..

Panic not!! its just a tail gate!

I gave it a quick detail to get rid of the green mank that was all over it. de-greased it, and gave it a wash inside and out!

started to strip the loom out the old tail gate..

mullered rear window heater connection

Switched around the light trims as mine has a Reversing cam in it.

simple to do.. just 4 screws behind the boot trim.

found a little bit of rust, so i treated it with anti rust paint (i forgot to take a pic of this)

I ended up taking off the rubber and found a hand full of small rust patches which i have also treated.

End result

I quite like it without the spoiler... infact, i quite like the fact it says TDI on the back.. i mite leave it on for a bit to shock a few people! lol

Next mission.. get the spoiler off!

:( my stickers!

Leave the spoiler off

No put it on. Stop messing about !

It's 8.30... Send them to bed!

That tdi badge has tripled the value of your car, and increased desirability. Leave it on and the women will flock from afar, welcome to my world! I put the vrs badges on cos im married and i was sick of rejecting the hordes of available females in my area.

Gee, ive just taken delivery of a new front wing, as my current one has been scraped to **** by some kids on a micro scooter.

ive never taken a panel off before, is it straight forward, or am I likely to run into something more complicated?

cheers mate, car looking Mint.

its easy mate to be honest.

red lines you can get from the out side... blue line you need to remove the bumper, green lines you get to from inside the door.

hope my little diagram helps.

Spot on mate, cheers for that

i also think you need to take the little plastic bit off under the arch liner. 2x 10mm plastic nuts. (just the other side of the green lines. its easy to spot

Have you managed to get your spoiler off ok? And did you tint your windows yourself?

Na old tail gates still in my van. I was going to try and get it off tonight but didnt see the point without some correct means. Ill try and get some cheaze wire and heat it all up, hopefully it will come off.

Can believe how bad my old one was in comparison to the new 1. just needs to wire my cam up and put all my trim back together.

Getting a dremel tomorrow so will need some diamond silver. looking forwards to getting those on.. i gotta find them first!

As for the tints, i will do the rear one myself, i didnt tint all the other windows tho.

Ahh i see haha your slacking gee! Haha i see a kit on the bay thats already cut think its £9.99 for the rear could be £15 but saves cutting and im guessing you got my text are you going to halfrauds to get the paint pal if your anything like me your paint one thing then get carried away and start painting everything thats why i tend not to do paint haha

i thought you can get me some paint? £11;50?

Ahh gee! You didnt tell me thought you didnt want it because i couldnt get it at the right price sorry mate crossed wires there is it ok for saturday? :/

And yep £11.50 inc vat

I'd leave the stickers off, looks great.

fancy a swap for a silver 4x4 estate lol ;-)
