Glad you like it pal. It's one of the biggest jobs out of the way for you too. Slowly but surely it's all coming together.

yeah and what a nightmare it was having issues with my arms and a major problem with my neck too so a stupid move for sure.
:signLOL: 4am bro I'm proud of you :grin:
Took me two hours to get it off and then I couldn't get the rear box in so waited for my friend to get the the van off the ramp and then it took 10 minutes to get the rear section on and then the tail pipe :signLOL: that would have bee a 30 minute job :doh:

Haha that's alright man. Taking it off my car was alright but we had a problem taking it off the car that had the TBE on first. As we were convinced there was only 3 bolts at the front end. However after bout 3 hours of hammering and contemplating we realised there's a forth bolt. We were fully baffed lol after the forth bolt came out it was all good.
Learnt a big lesson that day... If it's not coming off, investigate rather than bang cluelessly. Nevertheless best mod I have done as of yet.

if you're talking about the turbo bolts then yes mine were a son of a ***** as two snapped one sheared and was left with driving the car a while week with 1bolt tight. Took me two hours when I did the dp as I had to removed the two snapped bolts with oxyacetylene and then a week later having to remove the stripped one another 120mins so was a nightmare of a job.
Sorry should have mentioned I did the dp months back so had half the BCS already fitting after fighting with it on the work ramp so this time it was only the car back section :wink:
Lol yeah always check YouTube for help on removing parts too as it helps :signLOL: congrats bro you did well. If you ever need any help or advice I'm in east London so give me a hola :happy2:

110mm gloss boot lid badge cost me £8.83 :jumping:

Cars in a state but the badge is on with a bit pursuation and sticky tape. Clips are useless as they're all in the wrong place so snapped them off but one :doh:

It won't stick!! I hope I'm proven wrong but I've gone down this route before and after a while from heat/cold the tape starts to loosen and then one bit of rain, not to mention a power washer and the whole thing will rip off leaving a horrible residue in it's wake!
Pesky jones:
If it doesn't stick just buy a mk6 boot lid mechanism? I actually have a complete mk5 mechanism with a white wormed badge that may be of interest
