:offtopic: , sorry, but still tailgate related. I'm replacing the lower glass seal due to shrinkage. Is it a straight forward pull out push in job or will the glass need to come out?
Back on topic, i'm with 320 touring, it looks nasty!

I have to disagree, I reckon a smoothed tailgate with the reg plate recessed into the rear lower apron would look OK.

:lol: Well said that :clap:

They just look awful, maybe on a hatchback e.g. a Golf which has a less angular bootlid, but I don't think they suit E30s at all :?
