welding plates, is better than a boot panel imo.

lol i mean expanding foam in the recess under the smooth boot panel (this is what ive seen can be done in previous posts :boggle: ) so that the panel cant bend inwards

You might find this handy, lots of good guides in the FAQ's

Smooth boots are best left to pros IMO and expanding foam is not ideal way to do it :lol: most bodyshops weld a plate over the recess then skim with body filler and paint. As for colour coding handles ect, it can be done really well DIY if you take you time. I wouldnt attempt a bumper or similar with rattle cans tho :thumbs:

if u have to ask, u shud get a bodyshop to do it IMO, especially the boot, u'l never paint it rite with cans...

Hi there,

Would the above in the title be relatively difficult to do ?

I take it that with the smooth boot panel (available on ebay) would fit straight on , with some expanding foam in the recess etc , and then joined with "tigerseal" ? Then all gaps filled up ?

That seems quite straightforward , but colour coding handles , bumpers and smooth boot panel , I am guessing would be quite difficult (with aerosol cans) ?

Have any of you carried out any of this work your self ? If so , how did you do it , what were the reults like and do you have any pics ?

It would obviously be best left to the pros , but with a bit of time and patience it could be done right ?

Cheers
