    Number Plate

    Hi guys, have seen a couple of R32's with the front number plate holder removed, what i mean, is the additional material that sticks out of the front bumper that the number plate attaches to.

    I am thinking it would look pretty cool to remove this, i know i will have to go to a panel shop to fill in the 4 holes, but other then that, i think it could be done quite cheap

    first of all, has anyone on here done it?
    if not
    does anyone know how to or any links on how to do it?

    thanks a lot

    tom

    Its very simple. There are 4 plastic pins holding it. You can push the centers in and they should come off. Take the plate off and you'll see it. you dont need any instructions

    That's only if you remove the number plate as well. I'm pretty sure he's just referring to the plate holder itself and then attaching the plates to the bumper so there is no sticky outedness.
    I reckon just get some Euro plates that way you cover the holder entirely anyway.

    Just stick your plates on with double sided tape after you fill the holes.

    yer that would be great.


    yer i am only referring to the plate holder itself, although it would be pretty good with no plates for an afternoon hahah jks

    I am planning to get custom plates, and i think it would look best without it.

    If you can remove the holder - it looks great!

    I've found that the front of cars look better with a slimline plate (if the area suits) and the back with a full size either euro or standard. Weird that.
