no need too cut the lock offf it unbolts, they weld a plat in the recess and put a thin layer of fille ron top, orrrr u can buy a panel bond it on and its done  well needs spraying (obv)
u will need a boot pop kit tho

is the boot pop kit the one to open up the boot with a button??? if so cant u get that put in at a later stage???
and i got quoted £200 to get my boot flushed, surely it should be cheaper than that, sounds like an easy straight forward job

£200 sounds a good price mate - especilly if that includes fitting the boot pop solenoid - The bodyshop I use charges £350 - but tht includes reloctuing a plate recess into the rear bumper and the solenoid etc
The panels are only £50 - but still need spraying and smoothing in at the edges so will cost about the same

its £80 quid more to get the boot pop solenoid put in
is the boot pop solenoid the one which opens the boot at the push of a button?
