Rear Bumper Reg Plate Recess

[Graeme]

Can anyone enlighten me on the best way of doing this. I seem to see loads of smooth tailgates for sale but never any modified bumpers. I want to keep it looking as original as possible but all the recesses i see in other bumpers wouldn't look right. I'm going to be attempting it on a pov spec mk2 and I'm sure I've seen some good ones over the years on clean cars
Thanks

Cut a c shape, bit the larger bit in, then gled to triangle sides in.

Sort of see what your saying that's what I think I'm going to have to try. It just a shame novas aren't 'ten a penny' in scrap yards anymore or I'd just keep trying until I got it right

Bumpers arnt hard to buy tho, i got 2 for a tenner a few months ago..lol

Take your number plate to the local garden centre and look at the window boxes, cut a plastic window box down to size and fibre glass it to your bumper

Pug 106 is supposed to work well.

That could be quiet useful thanks if I can make it look slightly less stuck on

[Benn]

you could get the one above, then bond it on from behind, so theres no the ulgy lip around the out sides.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, also Benn can I ask what colour your bumpers are painted?
