After recently buying a polo gti and carrying out a few modifications i am looking to sort the body work out.

I am looking for some help ? Is there anywhere i can buy a bonnet that is extended over the headlights ? I think most people call it a bad boy bonnet (i know venom sell the extensions to weld onto the bonnet just wondered if i could buy one alredy done ?)

Also does anyone sell flushed tailgates or do i just have to get a good bodyshop to extend my bonnet and flush the tailgate ?

Anyone done this and know of a rough price for getting them done?

Any help appreciated guys !!

I have no idea on cost but a good bodyshop will be able to do both jobs for you with little problem. When you do the tailgate, if you're removing the handle, have a plate welded in it's place to make for a longer-lasting and much better finish. If the space left behind is filled with filler it'll eventually sink and look sh1te :?

It'll look nice when it's done - I think Jordan on here had his sorted out in a similar way - look here.

they 'pulled' the edges so the standard 1 is used and then painted.

Cheers for the help guys i must say i like jordans bonnet its mean looking. Will need to get it done soon might even get the bump strips removed and the bumpers smoothed too. Will need to see how much its going to cost, i can remove the handle and weld the plate in the tailgate myself and weld on the bonnet extension on that venom sell just need a bodyshop to fill and paint it. i will post some pictures when i get it done
