    As above, I was thinking of replacing the front number plate below the chrome grill. I couldn't seem to take the damn thing off!

    Does anyone know how to remove it?

    If it hasn't got two little plastic domes with screws under them, it must be on with double sided tape. Then you need a long thin scraper to push down behind it to free the tape.

    Try a bit of fishing line or dental floss.
    run it behind the plate and use the floss as a saw..

    Unless Zeb is talking about actually removing the number plate holder to move it lower?

    If not then its either screw driver with some muscle or a scraper orrr sheer brute force and wrench the bugger off lol

    Heat the number plate up first to soften up the glue behind.

    No worries! Are the Euro style plates illegal in the U.K?
