Fitting a 5 digit number

[L1OFF]

I have a 5 digit number plate and it looks a bit lost on a full size number plate, anybody fitted a reduced size plate and is it a real pain (asking to save me taking mine off to see)

There's a lot of cutting to get the front mount to suit a small plate

I have a small license plate too, and the dealer suggested removing the (black plastic) mount and using glue to stick it on to the "built-in" (molded, body-colored) mount underneath.

Works great. I'll need to use heat to remove the plate. They've done this on other cars and say the glue doesn't harm the paint. We shall see.

For a more civilized solution, look at the end of this post:

The poster doesn't say where these smaller mounts are available, but they're out there. Maybe ask on that forum?

Just remove the plinth. The bumper moulding underneath is just the right size for a 5 character plate. However, it is not perfectly flat. Strategically positioned VHB adhesive strips will do the job.

The plinth needs a couple of aluminium rivets drilling out which leaves holes exposed in the bumper. Small issue on a dark colour, more noticeable on lighter shades...
