Me again chaps........ Now I have removed the plate from a crazy position in the middle of the grille I think I can get used to it.

I've found the receipt too. £250 eeknuts My god, why???

Still, I think I'll leave it on now I've re-positioned the plate, what do you folks think?



I won't be offended and standing by for some hurl comments biggrin

Plastidip it, then if you don't like it or want to sell it on you can just peel it off.

Best position for a full size plate in my opinion.

I've gone for a smaller plate mounted on the grille. I also sprayed the grille black which I much prefer.

Phone pic and not the best angle but compares three options on the pre facelift models, mine is in the middle.

Another vote for it being black. No brainer IMO...

Legal plate, least number of letters & numbers so it's not too wide....

Facelift, probably no relevance to the topic, but I can't help but take any opportunity to post a pic getmecoat
