Man that was a bargain. And the parts as well. Looks really good with a smoothed grill.

I search eBay all the time even when I won the rear beam I thought he wouldn't send it cus I got it for 99p but it came next day and the ph3 bits I was amazed how cheap they where
Not tuned as yet iv taken all the restrictors off the pump and the boost compensator is adjusted a little and egr valve disconnected has made a difference haven't had time to tune any of the rest

How did you go about doing the smooth tailgate? Did you have to completely replace it? And how would you then open with no button? (Probably nooby Q)
Looks a beast though, I want to smooth out my XS but it's just finding the parts to replace as there's no way I could do it my self.

I brought the ph3 tailgate as it dosnt have the plastic trim at the bottom and a smaller rubber round rear window for the smoother look I welded a plate where the holes was filled and painted iv got the gti6 spoiler to go on aswell. At the mo I just climb in the back to open tailgate but there's a boot popper kit on eBay for £20 so I will either use that or come up with another idea.
Also my original tailgate was rotten round window so better to change it anyways

as I said in other one, IMO, thats the issue. as is the rear being too low. IMO, buy decent front springs and adjust rear to suit
