Title: Removing front number plate mount?
Post by: lucky_se7en on 02 March 2014, 12:34

Hi,
Trying to remove the front number plate mount. But having no joy.
There are 4 tabs on the front of it,that don't seem to push back or inwards?
I am guessing there may be a couple of screws holding the mount in,but can't locate them? If there are any,are they located behind these tabs?
Did a search online,but no luck in finding out how to do it.
Don't want to take it in to a garage in case it is something really simple.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Punch the centre out of the tabs with a dot punch or similar carefully and for refit, put the outer piece in first and then click the centre bit you dot punched out back in.

Thanks mate. Will try that tomorrow in daylight.
Won't need to fit them back,so don't mind if the tabs get damaged in the process.
Hope they come off without too much of a struggle!
