Plenty of pitfalls as well for a delaer if something major goes wrong in the warranty period.

Just noticed that this car has a different boot to my own but they must have been made at about the same time (note the plates). This is the later boot and the earliest I've seen them on is cars with the revised rear lights. Damaged and Repaired?

The Light Blue car has the later hidden hinges. Note the Aluminium hinges on the corners of the black one.

Both had hinges but the smaller round one`s.
