what have you done to light up the numberplate after smoothing the boot?

Any suggestions please?

Number plate light is in the bumper on a Corsa B, so no need to relocate.

Where will you put the Plate though?

Looked at some Fabias now, it will look crap with the Plate just stuck on somewhere.


PS - Parking Sensors can be relocated...

Smaller Plate & Smaller Recess rather than Smoothing?

Where can I get these smaller plates from? As i've got a 6 digit plate anyway, I was looking for somewhere that shortens the plates down but couldn't find a thing.

Ok sounds like a plan, reverse sensors can stay also.
