Hmmmmmm, I'm gonna have to smash it to bits to remove it as I couldn't see any other fixings. It is the original tailgate too by the looks of it.

You mean this one? Although I thought it was a 'version R'.

So that's over double the price just to have that clear bit in the middle? :( Cheers, what's this square blue fixing then?

Yes there are. Mine's a dark red/scarlet and it'll be being replaced with a black one soon. Want it all to match, plus the current one has a litte chip in it...and now a dirty great big crack.

Nope, it's a Veilside evolution exhaust. Sounds nicer than the super dragger IMHO.

Tried to take my perspex rear panel off earlier as I wanted to see if the high level brake assemlby is actually bonded to the back of this thing as I can't work out why these rear panels retail at £30 and £80 for what is seemingly the same thing but with a little clear bit in the middle. I want to replace anyway with a black item. Anyway I undid the two bolts at either end of the tailgate, then took the trim away, and undid the centre 2 bolts which look like they hold the light unit in place. Couldn't see any other bolts to undo. So tried to lightly prise the panel away from the tailgate. SNAP! and the result is as you see below. So could anyone answer the two questions, a) why are the units such a difference in price, is it because of the reason I have stated or is it purely the fact that the centre bit is just clear...and b) how the hell do you take the feckin' thing off??? ta

Ever since I bought the car, 99spec rear lights and panel were on the very top of the list. I partook in Smithy's group buy and midweek, I decided to fit them. The difference it made is amazing. Compared to horrible amber standard lights. Really chuffed to bits with it. Looks better in the flesh, but here's a few before and after pics. :) Found 5 mins of non-rain and pulled it out of the garage. :) Need to get a black tailgate panel now and do away with that scarlet coloured one....which I broke today anyway. :(

Glad you got it sorted mate. Felt for you when you called me. Weather was bloody awful.

Done. Dave, what time are you leaving? Might drive round to yours before hand.

Even the Police don't want Rovers! :rofl:

I think someone from the style police asked for it to be removed.... :rofl: ;)

I drive relatively slowly too. First drive of mine was on test drive. I had Richard Smith in the car as well. Only floored it once, but that was because I had to wave good-bye to a smokey old GTO....lol I still don't drive it hard now. Occasionally, I'll put my foot down. But that doesn't happen often. I'll give it a bit of boost every now and then, but haven't run it through the gears on a hard take off yet....too worried it'll go bang. Quite happy with how it is at the moment. :rofl:

Where on God's green earth is that place? You mean Chernobyl?

I know, I gathered that bud. ;) :) See ya tomorrow. PS, any gen on my camera skills from the meet? Wanna see if the vid is any good. :)

Ace....you even edited my previous post too.... :confused: :rofl:

Ooooh, so you got that pink rubber suit in the end then? :dance:

edit

:rofl:

Shame about the babysick colour and non-wire wheels...but I guess that adds to the effect.

Malta...although not 'technically' in the European community.

A pubic HAIR?

You gonna let me have my pink stilettos back or am I gonna have to come round and get them myself? It's been 3 months now! :rant:

Hate it, but strangely enough, I love twiglets.....

Nice!!...although just can't get a liking for the shape of the car.
