I know you can fit a Ph.2/3 tailgate on a Ph.1 car, but is it possible to switch the bootlid popper button over from the Ph.1 bootlid I remove to put it on the Ph.2 one?Need a replacement bootlid and have a Ph.2 here but don't want to have the Ph.2 boot popper. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Right, the answer is yes, but there is a hole left in the tailgate from the top mount of the old ph.2 button.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Filler and a spray could cure this? I've done it before on a car that had its rub strips removed.________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Yes that's what I was thinking, but it is already loads better, the huge lacquer peel is gone for a start, there was a bit of a dent too and upon close inspection the bottom edge of the window was bubbling wih rust which seems to happen to a lot of ph.1 tailgates but not the later ones.Not to mention my ph.2 one has a genuine SP pack spoiler on it.  I'll put a plate in and filler over it, just not sure whether to paint it myself or let a professional/someone who isn't clumsy as hell do it! Also, for anyone reading this thread for information, a 3rd brake light from a later car plugs straight in to the existing Ph.1 loom, and swapping the boot popper and lock over is possible but extremely fiddly to get the catches on. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Wouldn't it be easier and neater to just use the later button instead of filling and painting the tailgate, having a nasty blow-in etc? Unless it is the wrong colour to begin with so it needs painting anyway. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

It is the correct colour but I don't want a Ph.2 button on a Ph.1, and I want the same lock on the boot as on the front doors.The old tailgate would have needed paint anyway as there was lacquer peel of epic proportions on it. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

This is an old picture of my own car: Just behind the seatbelt on the c-pillar there is some wiring if you look closely, there are three plugs there which are what the tailgate loom plugs into. I simply plugged the loom from the new tailgate in and it all just worked. I imagine the tailgate looms are different but the main interior loom is the same to minimise complexity on the production line. However, I was still a bit surprised as I hadn't realised that any Ph.1s came with a tailgate-mounted brake light. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Not in something as air and water tight as a 306.  ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
