Default Boot Release button Mod

Another little mod done today on Redfive. One thing I've always found a bit inconvenient is that the saloon models don't have a boot release button on the bootlid. Had a tourer before this which had the boot release button under the plinth. Not a big deal as can be opened using the key fob but comes in handy as I'd often leave the keys indoors after unlocking the car if I don't need them while I'm working on the car.

So fitted a small boot release switch under the lip spoiler on mine today. Just saves me having to go round to the driver's door to press the boot release button inside the car.

Works nicely, has a nice little blue LED, and wont open the boot when the car is locked.
