I did but I bought a second hand so used the screw holes the previous fella had already put in (epic cheat lol!) but the final one went straight thro the washer reservoir! The other guy must've done the same but didn't warn me, so my big tip is check where ya screw! :rofl:

Aha I will thanks for the tip :rofl:

Did you drill the bottom of the bumper or just do a pilot hole?

Hey it's ok I dont think I've put it on here actually. I got my plate from customdesignsuk, they have a website and a ebay shop.
Size wise it's 330mm x 111mm which is the legal size for a 5 digit plate on a UK car. On an import you can have a slightly less tall plate. The letters are legal sized too, again imports can have slightly smaller letters.
The only thing that isn't is the lack of a BS number and seller postcode which are required by law but I hate that I think it's messy and ugly, I've always just had plain simple plates with a smart black border and my cars name :) it looks smart and tidy IMO ;)

Ye I like it looks slick!
Think I'll get some made.....do you not need to have a space between the 6 and the F as int E6 FTO?
I have a couple of plates you see and never know how to get them spaced. So my "H13 EAN" because it is 6 digits will is comply to the same rules as your 5 did get plate? Ideally I would like it "H1 3EAN" or even "H13EAN" what you think?

I'm liking what you've done so far, Nice and subtle. I was just wondering how you are getting on with the spacers? Do your wheels catch at all? And is it lowered in conjunction with them? Thanks

Hey - technically your plate can be any length provided it meets the standards of legal letter size of 50mm width (except the I) + 11mm between/around each letter. Plates with I's in can be a bit shorter too so that helps but yours won't be as short as mine but shouldn't be too much longer.
this is what I referred to when sorting mine ...

Hi Ryan - thanks very much always nice to hear compliments on her :)
No problems with spacers so far, no catching and it's lowered 40mm on H&Rs.

Me too, these and the LCR's look incredible with the wheels in the arches but it's just not practical as a daily in stoke! We are cursed by 5ft bumps and car parks with huge inclines haha
