Yes DR that's what Rare's fitted to mine.
I note that CB's has engine mount holes - suppose it gives either plant a home......

Looks good matty !

Are you putting the chrome back on the tailgate ? Think its a pretty distinguishing feature of your car mate , hope they go back on.

question 2.
is do i put the stips back on the tailgate, will they look good on the yellow.
i loved them on the black, but i'm not convinced they will look good on the yellow...

I like the chrome on the tailgate, plenty of people have coppied other peoples ideas before. I think if your having a standard color the full side trim looks just rite. DR's trim looks good with the custom theam of his car, but if you like it go for it, Trev 8) .

Matty,

Tailgate chrome, also a yes, more chrome bling the better I think.

Keep the pickies coming.

Add the chrome back on the tailgate, it will help work well with the trimmed side trim.
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

I would go with the trims on the tailgate , I reckon it would look good without the handle too .......... but it would take a bit of doing.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
