if your after a kit for smoothing the recess in your boot try Supernovas m8 you have to be careful though becoause sometimes its just alot easier to do they whole thing yourself i.e buy a sheet of metal and cut it to shape!

reasons for this are that i have heard of some people that have bought the kit and it has warped and became disfigured making it a waste of money

with the fibreglass panel, you need to cut away the outer skin from 1/4 way up the hatch lid (past the windows) as well as remove the lower section and then graft the fibreglass one in place. You may need to reinforce it and smooth it to get a good finish but from the ones I;ve seen it looked good.

A metal plate is also a good way - need to weld this in place though, then smooth and skim to get a good finish.

As for boot releases, supernovas/ebay do boot pop kits. Most of these can be built into standard alarms too.

When you say handles what kind of handles do you mean?

just basic door handles, would a need to get a specific kind, or rip them off a different make of car? just so that the door is flush.

with the boot, sounds a bit too tricky for maself. a got told the kits were ok, but you've just said that they disfigure?

surely this musta been self done? i aint too great at the graftin like.
