I know the latest tailgates are made from fibreglass, and I think the earlier ones are aluminium.

Mines metal, not sure what tho

[simonc]

mine is an 03 plate V70R & a magnet will not stick to either bonnet or tailgate

[Tomcat]

03's probably got a fibreglass tailgate, we had one in out yard recently

My 2001 P2 has a fibreglass boot, i think the bonnet is aluminium

[franky]

mines fibreglass fixed onto metal of some sort underneath on boot

[simonc]

Thanks, confirmed what i thought, ally bonnet & fiberglass boot.

Cheers Simon.

Mine boot must be steel due to rust on the lower edge of it...
