Question about number plate screws
« on: 01 August 2010, 11:23 »
Hey guys,

I want to remove the 2 mental bolt holes on the tailgate which hold the number plate on. Can they be removed at all?

Yep but you need to grip behind as they screw through the tailgate.

the ones on mine were fubar, rusted and couldnt be turned, so i just pulled them out with some pliers :P
slightly bent the metal in the process, but you will be left with 2 big holes that need to be filled anyway
