Default Removing front plate?

Hi guys,

Im looking to remove the front number plate holder and fill up the hole on the bumper..

Ideally i would like it to be reversable so i dont want to just get it filled by a bodyshop.

I have seen that some of the american cars have gromits? installed in the holes on the bumper.

Any idea where i could get some gromits?



Thanks,

Iain

If you search for "s2000 bumper caps" on eBay you'll find some, but I think you might find it tricky to find the right colour.

Yep New Formula Red is common to the UK and the USA. I don't know of a UK supplier but I'm sure someone we be along soon.

They are genuine parts, specifically for countries/states that don't require front number plates.
