DC5S number plate

[Se7en_11]

haha finally got rid of the big ugly number plate holder on my type S today...screwed the number plate into the bottom holes left behind by the number plate holder, looks pretty good now
but i got a hole rite in the middle of my bumper...i dont know how im gonna cover it up
anyone else done the same thing? any suggestions?

mine doesnt have a hole?
buy a grommet and paint it the same colour as your car and stick it in!

[tinkerbell]

grommet was exactly what i was gonna say - can be found in most stores liek supercheap or autoone...

what bottom holes are you talking about? when i removed my numberplate holder to check, i only remember one hole - the top middle one which i think you're talking about.

There are two underneath which hold the number plate holder up.

doesnt that restrict airflow to radiator? or am i bein a n00b? lol

[Se7en_11]

im not sure if it would restrict air flow...i see them mounted this way on a lot of DC5's, can anyone confirm this?

Hey Se7en_11
let us know how you go with patching the hole.
I was thinking of doing the same thing. possibly get a plug for the hole. touch up paint may look a bit bleh though.

I thought that maybe instead of doing a whole bumper respray, maybe use a mobile paint repair place like this:

I Believe this will depend on how techincal you want to go with your car
