US tailgates look GASH. As there is that funky trim line around it that is plastic, would need to be smoothed for me.

Wouldnt mind the running lights of the front, but they would have to be put into my bumper.

agree mike, look so terrible, i have a mate in the states, they all want the uk spec tailgate as it looks so much cleaner

they also want out textured bumpers, headlights and front fogs


the side running lamps look ok, you could easy make something similar (and better looking) for yours and wire them up to the sidelights

Thinking about it, but its a lot of ball ache, and probably one of the last mods i wil do to my car. Like audio is one of the last mods. I have a headunit i got for a fiver, and all original vw blown speakers. lol. Riding dirtyyyyyyy
