Ive seen many MK2 Leons with the 'S' Badge removed and the tail gate is smooth. Is this a case of removing the badge and filling in the gap, or can you buy the tailgate like this? my next question is how do you open the tailgate if this is removed?

cheers guys.

Jamie.

Don't think you can buy them
I had a smooth boot on my mk4 golf and it was a pain in the arse i had a button in the car that I pushed to open the boot which was a nightmare when carrying stuff and in the rain.

But if you really want to do it i believe there are kits you can buy also it might be programmable onto the boot button on the key fob!

Won't be cheap for a smooth tailgate either. Will need a plate welding over the gap then sanding, filling and spraying. Would look nice though....I used to have one on my Saxo many years ago lol
