has anyone done this? im thinking of having mine done & i will possibly have the boot smoothed.

would i have to source a rear bumper already with a recess & cut that out & have it plastic welded OR fibreglassed to my rear bumper.

obviously i'd get a bodyshop to do it but just wondering how i could go about it before hand...

cheers

dont know mate i'm thinking of doing the same with mine but im trying not to damage the bumpers at all, going to munt a braket from underneath the car+ having the lights run through

easyer not to do it looks to comon and always is a crap finish as you can see the filler in your tailgate. 1 out of 10 looks nice the rest should have been left.

Anyone know if a MK5 boot lid would fit a MK4, I am also after smoothing the rear end but looking for the easiest route possible.

I know smoothed boots etc look the nuts but where are you going to put the plate?

it only looks crap if you dont have it done properly

A decent bodyshop shouldn't fill the recess, they should weld a metal plate over it and smooth it that way, then you get no sinkage.

See, I'm the opposite, I prefer it on the bumper, the boot has too much going on otherwise IMO.

I think smooth boots can look nice

Only problem is, you end up having the numberplate in some random place (like in the window or hanging from the bumper) and 99% it ruins the look.

Unless you just drive with no plates

Smooth boot looks the Bizz..!!!

Do it, Do it, Do it!!!
