smoothed number plate recess??

[Big Iain]

yes or no? been thinkin about respraying the bumper to get rid of some stone chips if I keep it but should I smooth out the recess?

 

[Alan]

Al smooth fill n spray it for you...will look ace....lol

 

[cli0 172]

if your putting plate back in same place ,i wouldny IMO

 

[Ali]

Thought you were sellin FFS!

 

[Middo]

it would look good but its a big big arse, hence why i didnt have it smoothed out when i had my 1.2 bumper smoothed. Can guarentee it will crack and need a respray about every 6 months, even on mine where i had the inserts smoothed and properly plastic welded the filler sagged

 

[Big Iain]

good point middo, No plate would be goin back on though scotty!!

No worth sellin it Ali bali bee, spent too much on it now!!

[Alan]

Add in a pc polish to that list too, which will be done when the weather gets better...

I think that if you fill the recess & then put the plate back where it's meant to be it'll look rubbish, the whole idea is so that the plate doesn't stick out.

 

[al]

Please don't smooth!!

It'll be the rear plate next, and a square plate screwed to the bumper.........before you know it there'll be leccy lights and mesh on it.

 

[Englebert]

lol...

They look so mint with no front plate!

 

[Ali]

Meh...Stop breakin the c**t then!

 

[len_beach]

That's the badger.

 

[DH_GTI]

no dont do it !!!!

 

[182nic]

i think itle look crap. just stick a small plate on

 

[Rich]

I think cars look great with no number plates, and if this was the case smoothed over recess would look good.

But when you have to have one and a plate will still need to be on there somewhere like in the p/shop of the silver one a few posts up - it will look shite.

Dont the new clio campus things (just brand new mk2 ph2's) have a smoothed boot and the number plate is on the rear bumper? seen a few of these around...

 

[Renault_Boy01]

why can we be like the usa where they dont need to have a front plate !!

 

[DrR]

That looks so shite.

 

[DrR]

That looks so shite.

 

[Blue4Ever]

It would look really good smoothed and with no plate, but lets be honest, it'd be very rare that you have no front plate on so not worth it IMO.

 

[Giles]

in USA they don't use number plate on the front

 

[Alan]

Indeed Giles ^

 

[miltage2]

[R20 CWH]

[Pep]

[Leeshez]

I say leave it.

 

[Big Iain]

I hear what yer sayin rich I just want it too look al smooth n clean and If I done thet I wouldnt have a plate at all, until the first 30 quid fine lol

 

[Adamhodg]

As middo said if you do get it all smoothed off it will eventually start to crack and sag and will probably cost you more money than its worth imo.

 

[Mikey]

Do it i quite like that!!

 

[Jonaldinho]

Not a fan mate.

 

[Alan]

going euro are we ally boy?

Sure, why not...

 

[Sparki]

If you'd never have to worry about the plate not being there, i'd do it, I think it looks mint, but it's not worth the hastle IMO
