Try some black plasti dip, it's what I'm going to do with mine. Going to take the badges off and spray them as well as my wheels

Re: Replace Rear Tailgate

As I told you in you other topic (why do you open a new one?), you have to remove the trim of the boot (the luggage compartment) on the left side. Behind this, you'll find the connectors, hoses and wires to disconnect. Then you can pull out the wiring loom, there will be a good 5 feet of wiring com...

Replace Rear Tailgate

Hi all, how do you remove the wiring loom for the tailgate? I'm attempting to replace the tailgate on my 6R. Does the loom connect to the 3rd central brake light as well as where the wiper and boot handle are located under the plastic trim? Also how do you remove the loom where the wiper and boot ha...

Re: Removing tailgate

Are you sure the dent can’t be removed by paintless dent removal (PDR), rather than replacing the tailgate? A skilled PDR technician can achieve amazing results these days. Have a look at some of the videos on YouTube to see what can be achieved. This one’s pretty impressive; https://m.youtube.com/...

Re: Removing tailgate

Ok thanks but sorry I'm still confused. Where does the washer hose and loom disconnect? I can see the loom being fed into the tailgate right beside where one of the hinges are but have no idea where it goes or how to get it out. If there's loom under the trim in the tailgate itself where the wiper i...

Removing tailgate

I have a dent in the tailgate as unfortunately is one that would be cheaper to fix and would be a better result by fitting a new tailgate. I've looked at how the interior trim would be removed but I am worried about removing the wiring loom. Is there wiring loom inside the trim by the boot handle th...

Re: Upgrade from RCD210 to RCD310 for AUX input

Hi, sorry didn't see your response! Thanks, I'll order that one and give it a try, not too sure why the one I ordered didn't work as it was for the RCD310. I did a diy job of keeping it all in place with electrical tape.

Re: Upgrade from RCD210 to RCD310 for AUX input

Hi, I have just tried to carry out this upgrade but the aux cable I bought doesn't fit. The white part that goes into the quadlock is too big for some reason. Please could you link the one you used?
