Bad luck mate. Claim against the sign owners?? It must have been difficult to see or was unlit? Maybe worth a try.  :(

Not sure wether it would be easier and cheaper to source another good tailgate, paint and swop, or repair this one.  This one does have rust bubbles under the wiper and under the push button

Good enough reason to replace tailgate to make the car perfect ;)

Sounds like a good enough reason to fit Irmscher spring kit and 19"s to me....

Maybe fit 3.0 cams and MTek chip top


You wont want to be driving backwards then :D

At least no one was hurt.

Sorry to hear/see this  :(

Me thinks a tailgate from the scrappies is in order, and if you are lucky you might even get one in the right colour....
