    Tailgate

    How much for a new tailgate from Reno, and what do you get?


    Also, what is the difference between phase 1 and 2. I know their is no hole for the washer and the badges are different. Anything else?

    The badges on the phase 2 have locating holes in the tailgate. Also the washer jet as you said. Other than that no differences.

    Think its just the bare metalwork you get.

    I have available to me:

    Original taligate of 0200 (damaged reversing into a pillar)

    449 phase 1 tailgate with loads of minor marks and scuffs

    449 phase 2 tailgate (mint)

    Car is going into body shop on 7th march.

    Do i repair and respray original (maybe costly with large dent). Respray and respray 449 with minor scuffs and dents? Or get a hole put in the phase 2 for the washer and remove the badge holes?

    Be cheaper to get a new tailgate.

    449 phase 1 tailgate with loads of minor marks and scuffs
    Prob best compromise.

    449 phase 2 tailgate (mint)
    Cutting hole and filling holes would again as original tailgate be labour intensive.

    This would all depend on how much a new one would cost, against prep needed ready to spray above tailgates.

    Id get the good ph 1 tailgate cleaned up and resprayed myself.
    Keep 0200 as a project if you find a decent repair shop.
