Well the boot is on and wired up and working a treat. Was dreading doing it what with all the wires and it being damaged and out of shape a fair bit but I'm 85% happy with the fit to this day. Will get it better but I need a new bump stop to push my ns gap out abit. Rear top brake light is a mission to wire in so left it as it's pissing down and I was socked all the way through, my rear bung is in aswell so I will let the pics do the talking.

Image

Damaged side is now aligned up but needs more work. Pic makes it look worse than it is lol.

Image

Had to run about 6" more wire due to shortening the loom after wrapping it aswell so a nice neat repair was made.

Image

Looks epic from the rear all ligns up nice aswell.

Bloody rain....

X4 as I stated on Facebook :-) but surely a detachable replacement can be made shouldn't think it would be hard to do at all

Yeah I bought it because it was already done and I can always stick my Sharon badge on if I want but I hate a fussy rear end on cars the less the better in my eyes. So I think il leave it smooth fully.

Really need to have a good session cleaning on Friday and a touch in etc I'm all exited like a kid at Xmas ha, getting my wheels aligned that Friday aswell so it's going to be a rush....

I agree less is more but the backend still looks a little bare without a badge

You should smooth the rear bumper mate :wink:

I agree. Smoothed to remove handle then drop placement down to compensate= win!
