Id say easiest one is quad conversions- ?45 and just the same size as a number plate. See their ad in max power/fast car

Or a late spec 106 has a rectangular one.

Then if you wanna do it yourself its a simple cut and shut, using filler, fiber glass, etc to smooth it in. If like me your not confident of doing that, try finding a second hand one already done, or find a good body shop.

PM sri_16v as I think he is in the process of making one.

Cant u just make one.

If its alll straight edges it should be a piece of piss to do.

Maybe wrong though.

yeah...... im thinking just cut a hole just over plate size, then get some odd plastic and fibreglass around it to make the shape required!

Although I can see how cut and shut would be easier and less hassle.
Just a biatch when u goto the scrappy, not gonna pay for a whole rear bumper off of some sporty car, so gotta get the hack saw out and then when u come to pay, they will be like wtf!!

recess's look best with a flush tailgate though in my opinion, and done proper I think they look cool :D

?45 my a$$

make one!

either get a wrote of bumper from a scrappy OR

b and q! buy seed trays!

a bit like draws in our pigeon hole trays at work, just the right size for a number plate, and sink two roof lining / glovebox / boot lights into it 8) food for thoughts (thats what im doing to an old bumper so itll have more saleability when i come to sell it

b and q! buy seed trays!

Now thats a man whos thinking laterally!

I can see Mike now (as I do) wandering around B&Q looking at all the stuff and wondering how he can mod it to fit his nova!

Its amazing what flexible shower hose can be used for!

LOL!

Need to atch plastic bumpers and fibreglass/filler etc - the prob is theyre flexible and the merest shunt will send it cracking and may break it altogether. It will work but use epoxy resin or similar slightly flexible material. Not done it myself but that was what I was advised...
