Cheers for all the comments :)
The only lock I have to get into the car is on the drviers door, tailgate has been delocked too, so its got to stay unfortunately.
I admit it would look awesome, but bit too much work and not worth hassle IMO.
when do you expect the paint to be on paul ?
i would be dissappointed if it wasnt in its final colour by this time next month..
Just read from start to finish mate.
