[Mk2] [Generic] Show me your border bumper!!!

[Ryan S]

Ok, so i'm having my border front end fitted next week, i've thought of a few options for mounting the front plate but would like to see some other ideas, so let's see what you have


whoops, i forgot, i'm also retaining the front fogs, so if you have any opinions on that, please share.

Here's mine it's got two bars fitted across the middle section at a slight angle and the number plate taped to them, no cooling issues and no hassle from the local plod

Mine was here all the time I had the car

Police inspected the plate a few times but never mentioned its position but did mention the wipers position

^^That's a Bomex dude.

Sheppy, have a scan on google, loads and loads of Border fronted '2s.

ooooh, that looks good, oddly, the border bumper i have also has the 2 bars, i am having them removed and the holes filled though, i may change my mind. i did have a wee look on google, just wondering what the guys in the club reckon, a lot of the ones i found on google didn't actually have number plates at all.

I played with a lot of different options, the 2nd best was an import number plate mount in the very front middle of the bumper. Everything else looked odd "in my opinion"

[Ryan S]

looks great man, i could be into doing this, also, where did you get the canards?? i've seen these a few times on the border now, are they generic, or specific to the border??

Standard import number plate holder mounted on the border

[craig]

^^ that's what I'd go for. I have a Bomex front and use the stock import plate holder on it.

[Ryan S]

hmmm, that does look good too, i would have to get myself a square plate, which is fine as i'm not keen on my current plate anyway

[thomp1983]

thats how it was when i bought it, ill probably be getting a slightly bigger plate as im not keen on it having no border around the letters

[Ryan S]

i'm beginning to think it doesn't matter where the number plate goes haha, they all look good!!

[thomp1983]

if mine wasn't already drilled and mounted there id be running a reflective vinyl plate on the lower part

The canards are just universal fitting ones, bit marmite to be honest but I like the aggressive look. Doubt they actually do any benefit but you never know

[RyanRs]

Heres mine. Its genuine border ;D

[Ryan S]

hmmmm, i'm not too keen on that with a regular number plate

[al/c]

here,s mine as it was [/URL] [/img]

[Ryan S]

Is that just a regular size UK plate? That actually looks better than square!

[Magic Beans]

I mounted mine like below.


How I did it, along with how I made a flat undertray and speed flaps (well worth the work!) can be found on this page and the following page
