Hi guys, has anyone got any picks of a smoothed grill with reg plate fitted? just want to see what it looks like without the numberplate holder fitted.  :happy2:
Thanks Mark

I've got a smooth CF one which has the plate stuck on with adhesive pads. Looks much tidier imo.

Plus you get to see me with my "sexy model" face.

God Im sexy.

Looks much better without the plynth IMO.
Here's a pic of mine with the plate off, a very simple mod to do as well.
Doesn't look much different when the plate is on to a normal one.

and the grills pretty easy to remove, theres 2 philips screws under the number plate area, 2 torx screws with the bonnet open to the inside of the headlights and then 2 release tabs near the top 2 screws  :happy2:
