ermmm well if u got a stereo system in ure car then its gonna end up gettin cracked cos they r poor quality... u\'ll need a solenoid to open ure boot which u can wire in to where ure wiper went so that when u press the rear wiper switch ure boot opens... its either push or pull :S not to sure on that... personally i\'d get a body shop to smooth it or u cud have a crack ureself :O theres a few tuts on the web i\'m sure. failing that! sell the 5 door and get a 3 door then u\'ll be sorted lol

if you do use the wiper wiring like said, it would be best to use a lil switch somewhere, so then you dont knock the wiper stalk by mistake if driviing & pop the boot open!

you should be able to pick up a boot lid form a scrappy you can get solanoid switches and all the wire from maplins (
http://www.maplins.co.uk) then i think its just a case of welding a plate across the number plate dint and where the boot lock was then using lots of filler to make it nice and smooth then get a bodyshop to spray it for you

dont put one of them panels on, they might look cheap but in the long run it\'ll cost you a fortune, especially if it doesnt fir rite to start with. get it welded up and filled preperly by a good bodyshop and you shouldnt have any trouble with it
