Number plate mod - Loz - 15-06-13 I would like to get a slightly small number plate but it looks like it might look a bit naff on the original under tray unit, has anyone cut their undertray down and if so can it be done neatly and what did you use to do it ?  Re: Number plate mod - ghostbiker - 15-06-13 Trimed mine with a dermal but a hack saw would have been better as the dermal melted it rather than cut it. So then needed to go over it to clean it up. I didn't trim mine a huge amount but I have seen others hack it back a long way. 2 words or caution, 1 you need a reflector so do as I did and leave the old one in place on its tab or as others do and stick a stick on one on the plate itself. 2 even cut back a little and you get a LOT more spray up the back. I meen a LOT Will try to find a pic of it.

Re: Number plate mod - GrahamB - 15-06-13 Trimmed mine with combination of sharp knife & cutting disc on grinder. Had to heat the housing where my indicators now bolt to get them straight & remount the reflector but I think it was worth the effort. Marked it with masking tape before cutting to be sure I liked the lines.
