Flushed bootlid
Picking up a flushed bootlid later, just wondering what you guys have done with your number plates?
Cheers!

Re: Flushed bootlid
Most just stick it on where it usually sits or in the back window
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Flushed bootlid
Yeah I've seen a few people with gay square ones hanging off the bumper and it looks a bit silly lol. I'll figure something out I'm sure

Re: Flushed bootlid
The other thing ya can do is rewire a number plate light to the bumper and put the plate in the centre of that instead
If it ain't green and black send it back

Re: Flushed bootlid
The square plate on the bumper looks ok imo if it's a decent bracket, looks daft if it's a big bracket that makes it sit out

Re: Flushed bootlid
Yeah if it's done right it looks fine! I'm looking for as OEM as possible. Might even fabricate something in the rear bumper, like a kind of recess for it to sit in. We shall see!
Just picked it up btw... £20! I was gonna pay that for a spoiler that was local, ended up getting a flushed boot too lol

Re: Flushed bootlid
It has one if them opener things on it, boot popper? Just have to wire it up to a switch. It's not my daily car so won't be too much hassle and won't be using the boot that much!

Did you get a remote for the popper?

Re: Flushed bootlid

Re: Flushed bootlid
They go off a remote, press the botton on the fob and it opens
Not sure if they can be wired to a switch, I'll try find out tomorrow
