Removing front numberlate plinth

[jamiebae]

How do you do it? Is it stuck or screwed on and when removed does it leave a load of holes which have to be filled?

The car in question is a late UK model MkI

Mine was screwed on (although a Mk2) and there were two sets of holes when it was removed.

Are you looking for a stick on number plate?

I'm going to do this to mine, just need to buy some reflective vinyl and run it through the printer/cutter.

Give me a shout if you want one, I'll have to buy a couple of metres of vinyl so will be plenty left for more.

Yeah, stick on plate, they're only a few quid on ebay but I'm not sure if I can be bothered with filling & spraying bits of bumper.

They do leave two pretty big holes. Also, the way they are fitted with tapered screws, when removed it pulls the bumper out a bit. I recently had mine removed to fit a Japanese offset number plate holder, there were no less that 8! holes that were being hidden and needed filling from 4 separate number plate fixings. Even after 3 hours of filling and sanding, the bumper is not quite straight (rounded) if you get my drift.

Mine only had two holes. I filled with two black expanding screw grommet thingies. Looks fine to me.
