....It's where mine removed itself. I think it's just screw held - Dunno as I never got the chance to find out. Someone will be along to tell you soon.

Take the front grill off the car first, by undoing the 4 screws then just tap the little plastic dowels out.  :happy2:

was actually ur tutorial that gave me the idea, was just unsure about the wee clips, do u need to squeeze them and push them through, or just hit them?
if the magnetic plan fails, wanna be able to use it again, lol.

cheers mate

I might have a bash at this too as i dont like that chunky number plate holder on the front - car looks much better with it all smooth!

Thats it been done, thanks to topcat for the info.  :happy2:




only used the 3 magnets, and pulls off fairly easy, when i get fancier plates made up I think I will alter it so it has 5 just to make sure.
went a wee drive, and its still on, so always a bonus, lol.

Not worried about the 4holes where the clips where as this will soon be carbon fibre.

all in all, a fairly easy mod that makes a fair difference.
