I am hoping to fit a 3/4 plate to my 2007 car today. I note that on the 04 model it should be possible to remove the number plate holder by only undoing the top set of bolts on the bumper. (5 "upper stiffener bolts", 2 side bolts and 1 under each wheel arch)

I have spent some time searching the forum for a guide to this, and have seen pre 06 model guides, but nothing for 2007. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction on this? I'd hate to start this to find out i need to remove the whole bumper...something i am not keen / confident to do.

Thanks

 

Just bit the bullet and went for it....bumper came off easily enough, bit of a struggle to get the actual number plate holder off of the bumper....but now done.

Now to put it all back together again!

 

How does it look??

is it a two man job?

 

I'm planning to do this as well as I have a chopped down number plate but cant be @rsed right now so just stuck it on the number plate holder for the time being until I can muster up the will to do it!

 

Careful not to scratch the car with the metal clips behind the bumper!

 

ive jsut done this to mine - took of my 2001 bumper and bolted on a 2007 needed to swap the washer jets over - and also grind down the bracket the bumper sits on ( quite close to the headlights - brown pants moment i thought i ' grinded the glass but missed ) few clips are different but nothing a few zip ties did not fix oh and 3/4 plate now on too

 

Mask surrounding areas of paint with masking tape

I wonder how quick you can swap an evo bumper Mark, someone knows!
