    R32 Number Plate Bracket Delete

    My car is at the panel beaters next week if they can find a driver's side door (a 3 week wait if they don't) and apparently they will be pulling the front bumper off anyways. So I'm looking to get it fully repaired and resprayed and was wondering about doing the number plate bracket delete thing hehe
    However what is the best way to reattach it to the bumper as seeing as my car is still insured under my father's name he is not keen on having it in front of the radiator.
    Also if I was to just do this later how much would I be looking at paying for it to be done by itself?

    Cheers,
    Jed

    Not a bad idea but very easily pinched.

    what happened to your driver side door?

    if the front bumper is being pulled off and repaired/resprayed then you may aswell do the number plate delete now it does look alot cleaner

    double sided tape works will work well, i dont know of many people wanting to steal a number plate? haha

    haha trying to push start the car (battery died) dad managed to let go of the door and let it swing open into the house post
    so she needs a new door
    But I figure I may as well get the bumper fixed up and hopefully do this
    Double-Sided tape sounds the goods at this stage. However what happens when you try and pull the tape off at a later date??

    Use fishing line to remove the plate, then cleanup the sticky with eucalyptus oil.
