Tailgate Upgrade Episode 2

I couldn't resist the Tailgate upgrade that has recently become available for 2005 - 2011 MY. I did say I would never use Powerful Uk but I thought Censored it - lets have a go. I was going to try & replace the whole tailgate but purchase price - electrics & not to mention paint would have been silly money. I would have lost my reversing camera & have to purchase another roof spoiler - too much £££££. It was - I thought going to be a quick job Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
Thanks again to Bodsy Bow down I didn't take into account the reversing camera - he was on hand to talk me through the rewiring - thanks again pal Thumbs Up I have attached some pics - I am pleasantly pleased with the results. I don't think I'm going to relocate the RANGE ROVER lettering - I prefer it where it is. Wink
Please excuse the state of the RRS - she's being pampered tomorrow Whistle








TLL - cheers for your help Thumbs Up 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............

very nice Peachy. the lettering on the tailgate is a difficult one. you can't position them near to the silver trim, not enough room on the black plastic section that bends towards the trim. I have my lettering a bit higher up and I don't think it looks so good, but better than the original trim on my '07.

Did you have to do some modifications so as to make it fit?

You are WAYYY faster than I am at posting pics. I've gotta pull my socks up ! Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.
DONE: Meduza front bumper, AB rear bumper, AB tailpipes, calipers repainted, rear upper tailgate upgrade, side steps, AB front grille, AB side vents, rear LED lights, clear side repeaters, integrated daytime running lights, LED headlights.
TO DO: color code sills and pillars.

Sorry, another question. You mentioned about rewiring the reversing camera? Does this have to be done as part of this upgrade?
