smooth bumper and number plate

[rogers]

iv had a compleley smooth front bumper on my ibiza for a while, and have never really put the number plate anywhere for any lenth of time,

for ages in what in my windscreen and in the past if stuck on, but its annoying me now, i love the look of it off!

im determined to make a bracket to hold either a shorter or cut down plate of some sort but wanted to see what other people have done to get round this problem,

i saw a silver ibiza with the plate located on one side on some sort of bracket

seen you at ultimate dubs m8 i done the same 2 my bumper kept the moulding but flushed the recess out of it some people do put them on the sun visor and use a cd holder 2 keep it in place, i jus kept mine in the window and put it in the footwell out of site if i go on a road trip lol but did have it on the bumper for a while i cut the plate down and stuck it 2 the left hand side of the bumper looked ok 2

When i had mine i used 3 L shaped brackets velcroed to the underside of the bumper so could be easily removed for pics/shows. In the end just ran without a plate at all got away with it for over 4 months!

bikes have no front plates Argue that wi the cops

Plus, you'll be in front of the cops with them chasing, so they only need to read the rear!

That looks awesome fair play.

May have to look into getting this done when i get my new bumper. So many plans, so little funds.

Think mine was the first in this country to be done like that as far as i know. Think it looks so much better than having the rub strip smoothed completely.

that looks quality imo, so all you've had done is the lines smoothed out and your number plate and bumper strip filled?

That does look quality! I got a second bumper I can have a play with, so may make a 'show' bumper? How about a smoothed off bumper strip with no number plate recess... too plain??

sounds good if any one could stick a few pics up would be nice to see was thinking of smoothing my front and back bump strips, numberplate recess and the fog lights ( i dont have a cupra ) if anyone could photoshop one in white would be mint !

i was unsure what to do at first but i just smoothed out the line and think it looks quite good,

thats exactly the same as my bumper, had it done about 2 years ago,

have to agree with you about the bar it looks much better smoothed completey over,

your the man i wanted to speak to about it!! id seen a snap of yours with the plate on and off and thought there has to be a way!

what did you used to make the brackets, can easily use a metal but the thought of metal on it will easily scratch, be easier to use, than plastic,

you've stuck it on between the bumper and the splitter is it or the underside of the splitter?

thanks for that
