can you buy grills without holes for the number plate holder in from vw? or do you have to get the plastic welded ?

I kept my eye out for one on eBay then had it plastic welded, smoothed and painted.

Pretty sure it wouldnt be too hard a job to do yourself. With some sandpaper and filler you should be able to do a good job
