   Quick question when you have had the tailgate smoothed.
   How do you open the boot and what happens to the numberpate and the lights above it?
   thanks

   You get it a boot popper. So that it pops with the key fob.

   Boot Release.
   
   Really easy to fit, they come with instructions, have fitted to previous cars with no problems.

   You relocate the numberplate, or even put it back where it came from and you scrap everything else on the boot, hence the smoothness, not sure what the law is regarding the numberplate light, you might NEED one for an mot or similar.

   You DO need a numberplate light, fail MOT if you dont have one.
