Ah, now ya tell us!!

😂

I've seen a few with the front plate underneath the bumper and to the side, but personally i think it looks really unbalanced and odd.

Oh yeah sorry bout that, well at the moment my rear plate is under and to one side with a red p plate on the other side, same with the front except number plate is central. I Have seen em without bumpers, But at the moment im making brackets that will hold p plates like mudgaurds, so i will have two plates that are mudgaurds.

OKay, so i ut the rear plate under the light, only thing i did different was i took the bottom screw out of the taillight housing and put it through a p plate and di it back up, easy as.

At the front i bent two bits of thin sheet the screwed the plate to it and tied a plate on the end. I plan on making some stronger brakets tommoro at school.
