been playing on photoshop and thought about what i could do with my boot. i came up with these:



unsure to go with fully smoothed and relocate the number plate or go with semi smooth so i dont have to relocate the numberplate and numberplate light on bumper. wouldnt be hard movin the light. so i am going on which looks better.

ps. didnt know how to remove wiper but that would go and photoshop is not my strongest point

Even though i have a semi-smooth boot on mine, im going to say fully smoothed. I think it suits your car better

fully smoothed

would look better on yours imo and with that rear bumper its easy to put the plate in the middle at the bottom.

You have to take the number plate into consideration. Smooth looks ace but with a plate stuck in the window or cable tied to the bumper it'll completely ruin it, so I'm going with semi-smooth.

from the angle of those pic's i'd say semi smoothed, but its hard to say 'cus the angle of that pic makes the rear bumper look like it sticks out a fair bit further than the boot.

I've got a semi smooth one on mine but out of the two photoshops I would say fully smooth with the plate in the centre vent, just make sure you smooth the light out of the original bumper location if you do it this way or looks silly.

Hmm, I've got semi-smooth but with the kit you got I'd say fully-smoothed.....would like nicer either way.

Timrud, I like the badge you put where the latch should've been....you got Opel badge on grill too?
