Went to Bournemouth on Saturday morning to collect my new bonnet and tailgate, and here are the results:


And just when I thought it was all sorted, I was greeted by this on Sunday morning:

Much, much better, although not everyone gets a damaged tyre in Bournemouth..!!

Call in for a cuppa next time

Well done, Phil - looks much smarter.

Its definately an improvement to the old tailgate! The tyre has been going flat all week, I think a run up the motorway just finished it off! When I was on the way home my engine management light came on with the 'antipollution fault' so I opened the bonnet when I got home, and it went away, strange.

Do you still have your old tailgate and if so, does it have a good, clean screen?

Yes I still have the tailgate and the screen is in perfect condition.

I wonder if it's practical to buy it off you?

Where abouts are you located and how much would you want for it?

I am in Barnes, SW13, I dont want anything for it, as I was just going to scrap it. You could collect it or arrange collection, or depending on how urgently you need it, I could bring it to a meet in the near future? I will not be at the RAF cosford meet, but im not sure after that. Phil.

Thanks very much for your kind offer

I'll see if I can work out collection or whether it will wait until a meet that you might be going to.

Thank you.

John.

I have been using 'Paisley Freight' to send various car parts - it is £25 to send a complete tailgate. Their service is excellent and an easy to use website.

Brilliant

Thanks for that, I'll give them a call

I'm going to Blackpool on 6th November.
If I come up the M3 then off up the M1 is there somewhere convenient we could meet for me to pick it up.

That would be great, Richard, would you be able to get it in your car?

Guess you can have a measure up on Sunday, (weather permitting)?

I think the whole tailgate won't
