Just wondering does the number plate holder thing easily be removed to create the sort of wide mouth effect?

It's not as straightforward as just taking of the numberplate plinth - here's a picture of a naked bumper showing you what's underneath so you can judge whether you want to tackle the surgery required.

thats an expensive way about - I would imagine cut it with a junior hacksaw then use a dremel with a circular sander on the end make it pretty straight forward...if you **** it up a body shop should be able to sort it you for less than a new bumper...

Cut leaving pleanty of plastic (about 1cm) to sand back then just take your time........

Cheers for the advice

I wouldn't want it to end up looking like the 'big mouth' mod attempted a while back on a non vRS - can't find the thread though, but it was a rather amusing read

Seriously, it is more to do with potential future plans for the car - not everyone would want to buy a 'big-mouth' SE, so I'd want to be able to return it to standard...
