Thanks, I though as much, but just wanted to double check!
The titanium version seems to have disappeared of eBay? So I'll have to give powerfull uk a call.
Cheers,
Drew

hope you don't mind me stealing your thread Peachy, the last thread of mine turned into a nightmare with Barack Obama accusing us of working with powerfuluk
so for the tailgate upgrade, i'm very happy about the finished look. i was trying to find the best way to show it in a picture, so i have a couple from angles.
as you can see from the second pic, the trim sits very well in relation to the rear wing. the only thing i don't like, which is my own fault, is the position of the lettering. i should have placed it marginally lower, closer to the bend in the trim.
just to add a little clarity. i purchased the trim DIRECTLY from the manufacturer. i am in no way affiliated with any retailer.
when you receive the trim in the post, get the upper trim color-coded from your local. I also had the base panel primed, simply to add an extra level of protection against the elements. powerfuluk state that the panels are primed, yet i was a little wary of the quality of the prime job, so had mine "extra" primed.
the process of installing it is relatively simple. I know that powerfuluk has a video on their website, which shows the process. However, I dont reckon that this is the best way to install the trim. what I would recommend is that you follow the videos all the way up till Part 2, minute 4:00. Then at this stage, clip the silver/chrome trim to the last remaining tailgate panel (you'll be receiving 3 panels in the box). I dont recommend that you first screw the silver/chrome trim to the base panel, then clip the tailgate panel to this trim. why? well, i've noticed that there is a rather noticeable gap then between the two. you can even see this gap on the photos on their website.
Peachy, would you like to comment on this "mind the gap" ?
by doing it my way, and as you can see from the third pic above, the two trims sit very well together
A very important note: when you bolt the base panel on with all the lights and handles attached, make sure that it sits central, i.e. that it doesn't sit too far to the right or left. otherwise when you screw everything in place, it'll just look weird. mine did and it's horrible having to take everything off again . mine sat too far to the right, so i had to file a little plastic away from the underside of the base panel, and hey presto ! you guys may not have to do this, but just a warning!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.

I think that looks great, well done.
Yours is the only one I have seen that has a good fit I.e. You can't see a gap between the silver strip and the painted upper boot trim.
