Looks Great!!   :cool:

Quick question... You have a smoothed boot like myself.. How do you find your popper? Does it open the boot with one click of the button?

As mine does not!!  :angry:   Mine clicks and opens but is not strong enough to stay open so once i walk round to open it i cant!! So have to have someone there to catch it as i press the button.. It's not a major problem as i only use it as a project car and weekend toy but i want to get it sorted before 2012 shows.. Any advice welcome?

GtiGibbo - I have got a beetle boot latch combined with a petrol cap fuel soleniod from a mk4 golf. The beetle latch goes where the standard mk4 golf latch is ( metal loop ) it is spring loaded so once the keyfob is pressed to release the solenoid the boot pops. Any more Q's just ask me
