Iv got mine smoothed and it looks well sweet get it smoothed it looks better than having a number plate there
Keep the recess, just smooth off the wiper & lock holes.
Thats what i'm doing with mine, cleans up the back end without it looking like a Metro with the plate on the bumper !!!

Flushed boots are to common. Flush the handle and wiper and leave the recess.

Riggy, some Import style number plates would look smart in that recess - they'd fill it a bit better than the std UK size

Yes, yes oh and yes. Thats how it should be done.

or do what Ian did on his old nova and make a 'ickle recess for an 'ickle number plate
the amount of times he got pulled for it!

keep the recess but use an early style boot without the grab handel but just a small door lock, as the recess is smaller. and is easier to smooth, (like de-locking a door)
lol that little recess and plate is ace!
