tailgate blanking plate

[Euan]

seen one of these for sale on ebay. it says it attaches to the tailgate and is made of fibreglass. how do these attach onto your existing tailgate. as it obviously cant be welded.

[DazK]

u would have to bond it on .. and smooth the edges in with fibreglass/filler 8)

[?Marty?]

that's right

[mmollart]

ive nearly finished mine now :D , quite easy to do
just a shitload of rubbing down
have a look in this months total vaux mag, theres a guide in the back

[Gazza14SR]

i am currently attaching mine to th boot. You also have to take the window out as there is a 'lip' on the plate that curls round underneath the window rubber. Peace of pee to do really.

[mmollart]

i cut about an inch off the top of mine so i could blend it in better

[Gazza14SR]

what sort of bonding fluid are you using to hold it on?

[olly55]

get hold of sum sikaflex its nasty black stuff but fukkin strong

[mmollart]

ive used p40 fibreglass filler
done the job perfect

[Gazza14SR]

the stuff i was recommended to use was evostik, is this any good?

cheers

[burgo]

evostik is a pritstik kinda thing aint it lol and as some1 sed theres a guide in total vaux where they fit one to a corsa looks pretty easy

[novaexplod]

i made my own out of plastic and scrwed it on using the number plate screw holes then filled over, pretty gud idea i think

[burgo]

sounds abit of a bodge t me

[novaexplod]

it was lol but it wrked and its cheaper by at least half

[mmollart]

thats half the fun of moddin cars

[Mark]

thats half the fun of moddin cars
Surely half the fun is doing it slightly different from someone else and getting the same result for less money? :D

[novaexplod]

yeh it is u dont have to do it the same way as everyone else i used the same sort of idea just made my on panel up.

[Mark]

So we agree!
