I think you need to fit a later boot. Mine has it (mk1 vee) but some later ones don't.

If you can do it, get it done - they look so much better.

tell me about it.... my boot does have a small dent above the number plate recess, looking at tailgates complete. not a bad price on ebay but it could get f@@ked on the postage as nothing is close.....

This is one on a phase1 car (it's not mine, just nicked from PH) The same boot will fit yours too.

As long as they wrap it up well it'll be ok. Tbh you will have to get it all painted anyway (even if you do find one in the same colour as your car) as paint shades differ - even if they are the same colour.

Ah ok, the phase 2 rear will look nice on your car, the rear bumper especially.
With regards to the phase two lights, they can be had from most places for about £30, some charge more though, don't pay that.
