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.

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

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

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.
