Theres a few on ebay fairly cheap. Have thought about this myself, but not worth it at the moment as the rear windows are factory tinted so would need to get the fl tailgate glass done to match which I dont want the hassle of.

Might just be me but the rear lights dont appear to line up with the FL ones, look slightly out.

Apart from that it will look good once sprayed. Was everything a straight swap?

The boot hasn't been fitted correctly yet as it needs to be removed to spray so I just got it on for the time being, it's not a straight swap plugs require changing and strut need changing its a pig to do really but hopefully worth it

Looks great, apart from the R badge. Would like to have the same, facelift tailgate with the led lights, but couldn't justify the cost. How much was it all in if you don't mind me asking?

Looks smashing !! Any tips on how you managed to fit the bootlid and lights are they seat led lights or the dectane ? Would your car have to be programmed to work with the led lights ? I have bought a facelift bootlid but quite confused about the struts and wiring etc ?

Would love to do this myself but is it worth it?
