Mike Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I removed the caravan light (fogs now in the cluster) on the rear bumper leaving a couple of unsightly holes where the screws were... I thought I'll get a long plate to hide the holes, not keen on the square plate anyway... took the square plate off and found a square hole in the bumper..?! great.. So now I have a square hole in my bumper and a normal plate.... any ideas? I'm 'this close' to just getting another square one.... is that the only way around this aside from a new bumper?

Ric Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 pop to your local graphics place, or platemakers and just ask them to make you a plate to your dimentions which you will have from measuring what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the square one "keeps the Jap theme" and makes it different, Have seen some of the guys on here have nice polished Alloy / stainless plate around the Number plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EncoreWRC Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 \i have had this problem and won! I got a thin sheet of polished alluminium and cut it to size and shap of the numberplate recess. I fixed my plate to that. It looks classey, makes the plate show up and covers all the things you dont want seen. Cost me about £3 from B&Q's and about 10 minutes with a jigsaw and file. If I can find pictures I will post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
