New ass for the whip now. Europlates arrived, shaved and resprayed bumper.



Still don't know how to mount the front plate, anyone got experience on an R32 bumper? The plate holder I got is a little big for my liking, but I don't want to have to drill holes either.

Get the Black Automotive Double sided Foam Tape thats how I adhese all our Euro Plates to our Cars..
 
Clean both surfaces with Soapy water dry and then pre heat with Hair dryer

Then apply the plate with the Tape pre stuck on it

Used this 3 Years ago on my Old boys A6 they are still hanging on tight even after a squillion carwashes!

No It doesn't

Just The Bumpers Come Straight down as opposed to Tapering inwards like the Factory Boring bumpers this is why you need Guard Liner Extensions when you fit a R32 Bumper

Is that really dark? I'm not so into the really black tails, mine are a nice smokey hue at the moment!

Cheers for the plates tips too, I'll have a tutu tonight.

No filler here, I had them cut and plastic weld inserts so I wouldn't have to worry about any crumbling if there were any nudges or flex!

Cheers guys, Arno and the team at Taka panel and paint did the paint work and the plastic welding was done by 'The Plastic Company' I think they're called? A few roads over from TPP.

Could this work? http://gominigo.com/NHLPB-main.html Might look weird with the euro plate though

Yea, I ended up running with the plate holder I had, wanted to have the option of easily switching if need be!
