Smooth tailgate, worth it???

[grantsmith1985]

Right I can pick up a smoothed tailgate for £100 (The whole tailgate inc window), just needs spraying. It is gonna cost me about £30 in petrol to pick it up. Worth it or not, you decide (In annoying Big Brother voice). Bearing in mind it will prob make me a little tight for cash for 2 weeks, lol.

well just wait 2 weeks then get it smileys/smiley4.gif

worth getting it but dont get smothing that is going to hurt your finacially ;)

[hesslevtr]

worth it if its been smoothed properly welded a plate and used a bit of filler to get it smooth instead of just filled with filler or it will just crack after a while and will be a waste of money but its upto you though smileys/smiley2.gif

Yer I made sure of it, It is a plate welded and then filler used to smooth it, Made sure it wasnt just fillered or done with the dodgy triplexxxtreme smooth boot cards. Does it seem like a good price though?

[samholt]

Tailgate = £100
Petrol = £30
prepping and spraying = ~ £100

= ~~ £230 or more.

Get a bodyshop to do it for less.....

[hesslevtr]

i think its worth it then
but how you going to get in your boot ul have to get a popper

depends how much it's going to cost you to have it sprayed tbh. smooth tailgate costs around £250 inc painting.

i know people who have had it done 4 £190 all in paint, smoothin everythin

[grantsmith1985]

really, that seems a bit cheap, you sure it was done properly with a plate welded in place, not just filler or a fibre glass cover???

[redhot_saxo]

if the job is done properly on it, it is worth having it mate.

smileys/smiley20.gif thanks for the advice peeps, Seriously considering it now, even if I put it in the garage for a month or something. Then saive to get that sprayed and get the colour coding done at the same time ie bumpstrips etc.

personally i dont like flushed if its jus standard then i think it looks odd, i like it on dans but thats it really, why i didnt get mine done jus got everythin else done!
