Got some nice new number plates on me car last weekend, I should have been at GTI Inters i know, but i was feeling tight!
these plates arrived last friday and i spent most of the day trying to fit the rear one, well i was trying to look for some fixings for most of the day anyway, my old plates were stuck on with 3m foam pads, and being rather optamistic i kinda hoped the new ones would stick on also, after two journeys to halfords there was no such luck, it seemed i had to drill four lovely holes in my bootlid, this i did on the saterday. and was easy enough, half hour job.
The front however caused me a bit of a headache! the reason for this is that to drill the four holes in my front bumper, and to be able to put little washers n nuts on the back of my fixing bolts, the bumper had to be removed, to do this the grill has to be removed, and removing FK grilles is not reckomened cuz the damn tabs on them are so brittle. the indicators then need to be removed, followed by the grill surround. and then you can attempt to remove the front bumper, problem is the six main bolts holding it one were all seized, so i spent a while drilling each one out, and i havent yet replaced them as my VW dealer ordered the wrong ones in for me!
I gotta say tho, it was deffo worth the effort! i love em!
wat u think?
