   they are sound mate. they arn't any good without anythin behind them though as they are too flexible and the paint can crack where its been blended. to stop the flex you have to squrt expandable foam sealant that goes hard behind it where your number plate was.
   
   squirt it behind it then find something to hold the panel in place while the expandable sealent does its work. make sure you aint pressing that hard that the panel is flexing though. just because when the pressure is taken off the panel will pop out again and you will get a gap between sealant and the panel

   i'm sorry but that^^^^ is complete nonsense. get a plate welded over the recess, a welded plate won't crack like a fibreglass panel will after slamming the boot ten times. any decent bodyshop would laugh in your face if you took one of those shite boot panels to them.

   You'll pay roughly the same money anyway so you may as well pay to have it done right!
