Tailgate question
« on: 03 January 2012, 20:32 »
Evening all

My tailgate is starting to show its age around the usual places,she is 21 next month :grin:
 so my question is......

Do i have my current tailgate patched/filled around the number plate lights and lock area/plastic trim or replace with a solid tailgate with no filler??

The cost is irrelevant in this instance, thanks in advance..

Ideas always welcome :wink:

Thank you

Ken

Thanks for the offer...

If the view is replace it with a minter, i would start a search for one in my colour first for an original, although it will be very hard to locate one in whatever colour my car is, i always forget, Swarzt  something or other or black swarzt i can't remember :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I just dont see the point in messing about with filling and then getting it painted again -  when putting a really good used one is out there and ready to fit...

To me it's a no brainer... But it's your money & call!!
