What to do with the rear ?

[Gynx]

Got the mera booked in for some bodywork today including a flushed tailgate. I aint got a recess for the rear bumper & was thinking.. I wouldnt mind trying to get the tailgate done without having to cut into me bumper.

Magnetic Number plates sound like a good plan , but the problem ive got is lighting

Any ideas ?

sticky number plates & ones in the back window look shite mate you need it mounted properly
could maybe try a sunny number plate recess & mount that onto the bottom of the bumper ? i was thinking of trying that once...

Proper mountin would be nice , but means destroying the bumper to do so. temporary wouldnt look as good (obviously) but can come off easily when it counts at shows etc

Does it leave any marks mate ? , or more importanly , how do you Light the thing to pass an MOT test ?

mine is in the bodyshop now getting done (all fresh bits)
if you have a P2 rear splitter, you could just stick the plate over the bottom bit with the gaps in.
I think Andy did his the same, and i'm sure there was something about a caravan light on a bent bracket being used to light the bitch up

Well the idea so far is that im gonna build a Bracket that via bolts , clamps onto the Towing eye. At the end of the bracket is something similar to a Picture frame with 4 Wanker lights , aka Washer jet LED's (in white) pointing inwards mounted at the top & bottom. Gonna have this either Black powder coated or chromed to keep up appearences. Plates being revised to a Bike plate since the original size would just look shit.
