Default Authorised Mod?

Saw this on the way home from work yesterday. Wonder if this mod requires an engineer's certificate

Bush engineering at its best....just not in the bush?

Yeah factory option, it came on the POV pack models. Oh Wait, these look like metal lock pins... Most have been aftermarket then, considering how much of this car is made of plastic.

Reminds of the early Territory I saw at auction a while back.
Drivers' door latch had failed, so they had duct-taped it closed.

But to their credit, they had colour matched the duct-tape, blue on bottom, black on top

Looks like rear damage, and hence not able to lock it as tailgate out of whack.

Prob doesnt wanna pay excess to get repaired, instead goes to Bunnings for all his motoring parts for repairs
