Very smart! :D

[Blue_Smoothie]

wondered why u were pioneering them before :D

i need to sort out where my mount is mounted before i tart it up :)

[Grahamini]

I wanted to just put a small plate on the front but there were so many holes under the mount I decided to go for the German look ::)

[Blue_Smoothie]

how does the mount attach to the bumper?

i peeled off a bit of my plate and took a peek and looks like plastic pin things. no idea :-/

[Grahamini]

You`re right, it`s little plastic pins that push into plastic hole type things. I assume they`re one time use things unless you can get to the other side somehow.
I took one out but it was just a case of pulling and snapping off the pin so the rest of the fixing fell off.

[Blue_Smoothie]

so how did u fit the plate on?

[billybug]

I imagine he stuck them on with thoese sticky number plate fixers. Thats how Archies plates are stuck on, saves drilling them then! I've got loads at home.

[Blue_Smoothie]

but i need to move my bracket. its annoying the fk out of me >:(

[billybug]

Just take it off, the no plate would cover any holes if you stuck it back on anyway, failing that i'm sure you could buy a new one from the stealers or buy some chrome surrounds from Halfords, bling bling ;) ;D

[Grahamini]

I left the mount on and just stuck the plate on with sticky pads.

Luke`s right though, the no plate would cover up any holes under the mount.

Plates look good man :) I do like the German plate thing, they look hot!

Glad i dont have number plate holes in my front bumper ;D

[Grahamini]

Glad i dont have number plate holes in my front bumper *;D

:P :P :P :P

All I wanted to do to ours was take off the big black mounting thing and put a smaller plate on but there`s holes everywhere behind it ::)
So German plates it is :)

[Blue_Smoothie]

thanks for all the info ;)

[bad_cab]

8-) i've got frames from dubmeister 8-)on my cab but didn't go for the plates cos the old bill think i'm a drug dealer so i dont want to give them more things to pull me for ;) :D

[Grahamini]

Well done Mr Smooth ;)

[Blue_Smoothie]

[Grahamini]

I didn`t *bother with the seals, I`m leaving the plates on all the time and didn`t want to risk any plod hassle.

I used the original surrounds, they look quite good as they just say - www.heritage-vw.co.uk *:)
