Number Plateless Grill
 

I'm not a fan of the front number plate at all.
Most cars look better without and after talking to a mate whos changing his grill to one without the number and it got me wondering if there was an option for the 8.

I've had a look and can't find much.

Anyone looked in to this or does it look really bad on the 8?

you can now get electric or manual fold away plate holders that slide out from under your bumper or in a slot in your grille or bumper or failing that number plate holders with a blind that comes down over the plate when you're showing the car

For when your showing your car to the gatso????

Umm well of course it happens to have that added benefit too lol :rolleyes:

I've seen that kit and its a bit of kimick.
I can't see it lasting long or the police being happy about you having it.
its also not something that I'd want to fit really.

This is the grill style I'm on about.

thats a US style grille for a D4 for those states that dont need a front plate. I think on previous models the US style version was with a blanking plate like the D2 style one shown HERE
*EDIT They did a front plate filler on the D3 like this one HERE but I guess you would need a grille or bumper or both that would accept that filler

I do wish I could find the d4 grill like this to fit the d3 think it looks so much better horizontal than vertical

$777 for a grill

it will be considerably more than that after import tax and carriage I expect but looks good!

IMO the RS style grill with the sluice box mesh is too boy racer for an 8
