Front number plate

[mitch1990]

The front looks so much better without the plate, is there another place on the bumper it can be put, like underneath the blade ??

Wouldn't that be to low??? Especially with our bloody roads round here lol

Won't it look a bit silly with a number plate sized moulded gap in the front bumper and then a number plate somewhere else? Just my opinion but I reckon you should leave it where it is.

It wouldn't be lower than the bottom of the bumper and you can hardly notice, there's a few pics on here where people have took them off for detailing and looks so much better

Must say it does look better

Might have to look into relocating it

Just get a 520mm x 100mm number plate, looks loads better. IMHO.

 

[mitch1990]

Cheers mate, might have a go at the weekend and see what looks best

I run with genuine carbon fibre numberplates and have the white and yellow bits placed on top of the carbon weave so the carbon makes the letters and numbers (hope that makes sense). I also asked the sign wrighter to leave a 5-7mm border of visible carbon round the edge of the plates (front and rear) and makes the plates look smaller. It's also a nice subtle modification.

Got any pics mate ?

I'll stick some up at the weekend.

Stick the plate in the windscreen? Seems the vag boys get away with it.......

Smaller plate is deffinately the only solution.

Doesnt look small enough to cause unwanted attention either

Double sided tape. I used stuff for bathrooms to stick mine on as it waterproof. Halfords sell it but they charge as much for 6 small squares as B&Q charge for a 5m roll.

Got any pics mate ?

Found out that's it's actually bloody hard to photo carbon weave, that (not great photo) was attempt number 11!

Below is the best of the previous attempts:



And the rear,
