french tailgates and number plate lighting.

[jamie16v]

the plate i cut was a bit longer than the original plinth, so it would have covered the lights. but i wanted to conceal all that so i welded more metal in to angle it back into the recess and close it off (if you get me?).

see what you mean yeah.. it looks good,and i wish i did mine that way to be honest.
though as i said earlier, when i trial fitted the plate on mine the lamp lenses got in the way..

That does look wicked tbh, i also like what ive seen on some US cars where they chop the top of the lights & extend the boot to fill the gap where the top of the light cluster has been, looks more aggressive

I like the look and its something I want to do to mine!

But just for reference this is NOT frenching! All you are doing is using the existing indent.
Frenching is creating your own new indent!
