Had the van in for a front end refresh on the paint with both arches reshaped too, had the grills and trims done in Magic black while it was in, looks a bit smarter I think!

The number plate is mounted on a quick release bracket I made up, looking at possibly selling them if anyone is interested?

Drill 4 holes in the underside, then the two small mounts sandwich the material and provide a stable base. The bolts then leave about 10mm of thread sticking down. This set up stays on the bumper permanently allowing you to locate the L bracket which holds the numberplate with wingnuts and be easily removed/replaced at shows.

Cheers guys, means alot. Hoping to have a boot build done in the next month and get the rest of the interior re-trimmed to match, should hopefully make it look a little more finished. Who knows if it ever will be :lol: .

One more from the beach anyway :)
