Quick up date on my 2002 Accord.

The boot lid had some paint peal on it and the previous owner tried to fix it himself with very little success.

So I got a boot from a scrapyard and gave it my mate to spray it and I fitted myself. Total cost €80.

The old boot:

The new one went on easy enough, just a simple case of disconnecting everything on the old one and doing it all in reverse.
Tools: Philips head screwdriver, 10mm socket, needle nose pliers and an optional cup of coffee and a smoke ;)

It took about 30 minutes, it was a little annoying trying to get the locking arm aligned but other than that is was very straight forward.
I think I'll leave all the badges off as it looks nice and clean without them B)
 
looks really nice matey :)
 
Result! Good work.
 
That looks like new. Bet you're chuffed.

The optional smoke is the one I indulge in when working on cars lol.
