I'm unsure at the moment, i have some metal at work so considered making some brackets to come out from behind the bump strip or i will just use some number plate sticky's to stick it just under the bump strip

oh and i have this to finish up and get fitted!

Number plate was literally the only i could find on a saturday afternoon close to work, but i will be getting a standard lettering but shorter plate made up or at least the dimensions of one to see what it looks like. Im a 19 year old driving a quick car i already get enough attention without an illegal plate! :(
