May i ask where the plate is from? I have a shortened plate which i have to change each time i have MOT.

How have you shortened the plinth, ive been looking at smoothing the grill and doing the magnet number plate mod.

It looks good.  :happy2:

Any more details or pictures of plinth? As I wouldn't mind doing this.

As for number plates I cut mine down myself, aslong as you have a 11mm border there legal. Mine have passed MOT's

You use a plastic welder or just a soldering iron?

I need to get hold of a plinth as mine didn't have one.

Cheers tho!
