Yeah my number plate is off now and is matt black the whole grille, I have been pulled over only once and the plate has been off for a whole week now. I think its just luck I have got away with it because otherwise if u get an officer on an off day they give u a producer! So far so good though lol! I say having tiny lil holes in your grill will help from a distance u cant even see them, it also backs up your story to the police if u dont get pulled I said I got hit in Tesco's car park and that I resprayed the grill after I got hit the next day and awaiting brackets from the dealership but they cant give a date when they be in lol the fool bought that excuse too ha!
