Number plate plinth

[Bmwjay]

Properly been ask loads but I can find it

If I remove the number plate plinth what does it look like once removed is there any body work that needs to be carried out or is it smooth behind it ?

The plinth is riveted to the bumper in FIVE places no less. A numberplate covers the holes..

Here is my old bumper and replacement facelift when I was painting it. I chose to remove the plinth, but also filled the holes.

So it needs body work once the plinth is removed to get a smooth finish ?

You can see the rivets on the furthest bumper in Ducklakeview’s picture, so you will be left with 5 small holes. If you’re planning to put a standard plate back in its place then it won’t be visible. If you want to run a small plate then they will need filling and spraying.

Awsome thanks will stick with the plinth until I got enough cash to have it smoothed

I prefer it with the plinth gone anyway, holes or no holes as long as you can't see them. But then I have a European style licence plate frame and with that over the top of the plinth it's all a bit too bulky.

I removed my plinth and used 2 of the holes underneath to secure the number plate back. Nothing visible now.

Much prefer the "plinthless" look...

You can't beat originality- a nice plinth and a lovely whippy

No doubt some will say no plinth makes the car lighter and gives you another 30 bhp.

33 BHP actually - AND better aerodynamics
