Title: front bumper number plate holder
Post by: mvb on 07 January 2012, 17:45

bought a wolfsburg autohaus numer plate holder.

back bumper - fitted like a dream.

front bumper -has the vw number plate holder already, had a fiddle to remove it but it has no screws.... so my question is, can the number plate holder be removed without causing damage to the bumper.? is yes, how as i'm not really looking forward to removing the bumper if this is the case.

i managed to get mine off when i wrapped my front grille with carbon fibre, from what i remember you have to get a screw driver into the studs that hold it in place and brake them out.
