Well played.
So much better than those awful after thought number plate holders. Completely ruin the line.
How much happier does she look now.

Oh yes very good. now I'm thinking of a zunsport front grill to finish off her smile. what you think?

Those grilles look pretty cool imo but they're a bit expensive especially if you want the full set front and back.

I did find a howto somewhere a while back that shows how to DIY one. I'll try and dig it out.

Oh yes please. Yes they are expensive but I think they really look good but still understated imo

Hey guys- need to replace my front number plate as it's unlikely to pass mot. (Cracked)

I like the idea of the square one- do you just put screws in them to hold them in place or do you need a specific holder?

one for @Carolyn I know she has a square plate up front, But, I also recall her front bumper is not bog standard either.

Some mickey mouse thing

TAXI!

@jvanzyl
If you get right down to the front mesh area, there is a small panel that is held by a couple of screws. I don't know if it is some sort of access panel or for tiny number plates. Do Japenese cars have front plates?
