I've got that far, jiggled for about an hour.. tried mole grips.. tried everything. Actually just want to cry now. so aggravated it's unreal.. Sprayed WD40 on it because most people have said to, then I get told it's not penetrative. I don't even know, so annoyed  :sick:

That looks awesome.

I sorted the boot pop mod today - had a little bit of messing around with the bump stops, and there is definitely something rattling around loose inside the boot trim (will check it another day when I have more time...) but very pleased with it - especially with a baby it's gonna be useful - just hope I remember to open before I stand in front of it, as it will knock me out!  :rolleye:

Dropped the car off at ultimatealloys in Aberystwyth for a wheel refurb and colour change. Pick it up tomorrow. Going smoked chrome with black inserts, inspiration from the wheels that @homesqueeze has.

Found the source of the rattle behind the boot trim... looks like I need some new trim clips!

Dave - still don't have the car back as there was a slight issue with an engine mount needing replacement! Will pick it up tomorrow and let you know my opinion
