but in a modifying guide ive been looking at it says tio make a metal plate and weld it on and use body filler to make it smooth?
so which is best/cheaper/easier? because i want a smooth boot!

[christianvts]

metal plate is better and would cost about £200 maybe more the others tend to crack

Yeah christian's right, Heard bad things about these cheap fibreglass panels. :n:

May be more expensive in the first place to weld in the plate but it will last longer. Fibreglass panels can flex and crack and will need repairing.

I used a fibreglass panel and now wish i never bothered.

i payed £200 for mine had plate welded in not fibreglass or it will crack.

do it yourself its not that hard.

if you dont no how to weld get some garage to weld a bit of sheet metal over ya numberplate then its just a case of fiberglassing and bodging it till its nice n smooth.

can take a while to get it flat but spend some time on it and it shud turn out ok.
