alright guys, just a quick question
i am thinking of finding a cheap tailgate with spoiler and having a bash at blending the spoiler in, smoothing the lock and then either smoothing the wiper off or somehow blending it into the boot.
anyone done this or got any tips on what to do and what not to do, obviously i dont want it all cracking as it wont look very pretty

cheers

i tried to get a quote for this at a bodyshop and they told me they wouldnt do it coz the spoiler is plastic and the bodywork metal. he recons it will crack a lot and would be quite hard to get it to work
