Smooth Tailgate

[couzens]

Doe's anyone know how to go about smoothing the tailgate? i know that it involes welding in plates, but im not sure on what to do about boot relase button? i want the whole boot flushed but im not sure what will happen with the boot release mechanism? wether it can stay with out no button on the boot as im able to relase it from the button on the inside, but will it still lock with no button on the exterior? thanks

u need to get some solenoids which can be purchased on ebay. i smoothed my boot on my last car and i had the button around my dash which when pressed popd the boot. I had it connected to the ignition which makes the boot locked at all times.

Defo keep the plate where it is otherwise you'll need to retro fit a number plate light which will look awful if its not the factory one mounted in the top of bumper
