Front bumper mod - 7.5 Wolf R Wagon

[timmak]

Has anyone removed the black plastic licence plate mount on a 7.5?

Ruins the white lines and with a slim line plate would look tonnes better

I'm hoping the black mount pops off somehow

See red highlight in pic

Cheers

You can take it off (push the small diameter centre piece of the clips all the way in), but you will then be left with 6 holes in your bumper.

I've done that on my 7.5 R.

See this other post...

What Accessories are you buying for your MK7 Golf?

Thanks guys - those leftover holes in the bumper suck hey!!

[Mattlock]

There are plenty of threads and information on how to fill the holes. Google for BumperPlugs if you want to buy them Pre-painted or search for AutoInstruct if you want to buy them unpainted and paint then yourself.

I bought bumper plugs for my 7R.

Don’t waste your time, bumper plugs don’t fit.. too small too expensive if you have a oryx Wolfie I’ll sell you mine .. awesome product but recommend u put tape on them to get them snug ..

My solution for that was to get the Euro style plates. Covers the black plastic perfectly.

Yeah, I thought about Euro plates but they are considerably more expensive than BumperPlugs. I just used a wrap of electrical tape and a dot of Superglue and they fitted fine. They’ve been in for nearly 2 years without an issue.

The unpainted AutoInstruct plugs are the right size but I didn’t trust my skills to get a good finish.

NSW Euro plates are $500 to restyle. I considered it, but IMHO the smaller plates look so much better and the NSW colour choices didn't really go with Indium Grey. I have the Premium silver on black and they look great with a Kingpin protector to hide the silver border.

can anyone load up a pic of a standard plate?

im trying to get the dealer to register it with euro as i thought it would look better than a standard one.

A full size Euro is fine, a slimline one (which then isn't really a Euro then) or standard plate looks comparatively ordinary while the plate holder is there.

I'm swapping out to a slimline in SA down the track and losing the front holder so didn't care less where the current plate went..

[timmak]

It’s the fat black plastic middle piece that ruins the line of the bumper imo. Slim line plates help to some extent - I’ll show you mine when new WA plates are on

The cleanest solution is a replacement front bumper. The replacements have no holes!

Someone reveresed into the front of my car so I got a new bumper thus solved my "hole" problem!

Does anyone have a black front plate mount for a mk 7 GTI (any model with the ugly plate mou t) one of these lying around that they don’t want?
