alibabba Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, How did you cover the hole in the rear bumper behind the licence plate? I don't want to use the side pods. USDM/EU spec bumpers aren't available anymore... I'm using USA sized plates (I'm in the Netherlands), but they won't cover everything. There is a 1cm gap on the bottom.

JackyBoi Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 You could put a slab of plastic or something similar on the inside, smooth it from the outside until it's flush then paint it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Simply get a bigger plate. Many online plate makers will make one up to your spec / sizes. Failing that, get a reg plate holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibabba Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 A bigger plate isn't an option over here. The plate/holder should meet legal dimensions. Anyone tried fiberglass or plastic welding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Plastic" and "welding" should not be used in the same sentence So is the hole in the bumper larger than legal dimensions? Surely you can get away with a plate holder?

brom86 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I ordered a plastic carbon sheet from eBay trimmed it down and it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New they are discounted according to my local T-dealer, SRD & Whifbitz. I ordered a plastic carbon sheet from eBay trimmed it down and it looks good That actually looks really good. Mine is Moonstone, so I think carbon suits it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
