Anybody got some good advise on where to replace the number plate so the clean line of the nose is shown, its bugged since I first saw the car in 99. I'm considering self adhesive plates, smaller non-legal plates etc

Also where is best to get the gromet / painted cover to the holes left in the nose cone? I'm sure there are topic's on this forum from a long time ago, can anybody help?

 

Like this you mean....



Mikey K has removed his (on this and new one I believe), no doubt he will fill you in (no pun intended)

 

This is my plan, but I haven't saved up enough to get the eight (yes - 8 ) number plate mounting holes filled and the bumper resprayed yet (I've been qouted

Or like this.




Get a couple of rubber bung things from Halfords, paint them and stick em in the holes, job done.

 

I like the idea of putting the number plate in the mouth of the car, I wonder if anyone has done this. it would stop some airflow but it's quite a big area and if the plate was fixed on brackets so there was a space above it it might not cause a problem.
I think someone would be brave to try it!

 

I got a 3/4 size plate, removed everything to do withthe holder and binned it.

The small plate is glued directly onto the nose.

It looks excellent.

 

I used "Mikey K" keyhole plugs to cover my holes and then had the bumber resprayed.

(the paint had already flaked off them )

 

The black frame is now gone and I have bolted the plate back, this looks 100 x better but not perfect.


Whats a Mikey K keyhole plug and where do you get them? I also like your front spoiler, where is it from?

I was think of getting a new bumper, but most of the aftermarket one look horrid.

 

Colour coded plugs that insert into the keyholes.

It is an Amuse lip copy ........ they are *very* expensive to import, difficult to paint and the fitting is a POS.
