mate got his boot welded, fitted a boot kit.

problem is the boot doesent pop open as it is to heavy, if you know what i mean

is tthere some sort of sprung loaded pin you have to buy to lift it when the boot button is pressed.

Even on Beemers it doesn't actually make it lift open. Just unlocks and pops it slightly.
