Tim your car looks stunning mate, love the wheels as well.

One question though, do you have a front number plate on the car when you use it??? and if so where do you position it, lower grille, bumper, front window?

When I got my bumpers smoothed I didnt have a front plate on for over 2 weeks and never got pulled by the law but in the end put it back on just in case.

They look so much better without one, especially with the smoothed bumpers.

[Tim_GTi]

Cheers mate.

Well I'm still in two minds about it. Before it came off the road I had no plate on it for around a month. Wasn't driving it regularly though.

I'm trying to find time to make a mount for it, so it either sits in the OEM position or in front of the lower grill.

Either way I'm using a series of brackets like this:


Was hoping to get it done before the MOT tomorrow. But I couldn't decide which one to go for and got lazy

[6N2 GTI 00]

Cheers for the Picture.

I am looking to get something similar to that. I want mine a little bit tighter to the bottom grill though with smaller brackets.

At the moment my old plate is cable tied to the bottom grill and I havent had any problems whatsoever with the Fan coming on or the car overheating. ill post some pics when I get mine sorted in the next week or so

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh Mine will be tighter to the bumper.

Passed MOT today, no problems what so ever

CAr will be taxed on Friday. Can't wait!

[adam_0612]

good news!!

[Tim_GTi]

Aye very.

Got my numberplate brackets made up today:


Just gotta paint these, and find something better than foam tape to stick the plate onto them.

[alexperkins]

Velcro

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh that's what Haris is using also, so may get on it. May have to check out The Range later I think!

[alexperkins]

Screwfix for shizzle Oh and i looked for the foam tape - they said theyd call me back and never did!

[Tim_GTi]

ah they do heavy duty stuff also?

yeh i ment to text you last night actually, i went to B&Q yesterday for the brackets and found out they stock foam tape also! cheers anyway mate
