You have to fit a solinoid lock which you can wire up to your alarm or a switch in your car or you can get away with a BMW door pin attached directly to the lock which you simply pull to release the boot, but that means you have to climb in the back to open it!!!!

And yes it is secure, if you have central locking it will do the same as usual and look it, but i dont know about with it not being on central locking!!!!!!

solenoid, switch in car, or key fob, push button, boot pops up, probably more secure than normal, cos no external way of entry

u can buy a kit off someone on here i think if their still sell them, just like on a button. if u press it, it pops the boot. well for safety i think it is a gud idea, but problems could happen with cracking but it depends which way u go about smoothing ur boot. i think corsa's look mint with a smoothed boot but then u hav a place ur number plate else where, n things hav to be moved n a light has to b put on ur number plate for nite n shit like that but its totally up to u if u want to smooth ur boot, but i wud defo its a good mod.......
