Ben started a thread a while back and I think Fast Eddy was going to be making some if there was enough interest. Might be worth having a chat with Fast Eddy :thumb:

Blank your plate but not your postcode?

How does that stand from a MOT point of view? Looks quite good quality though mate...........does it feel sturdy enough?

Was just thinking the same thing! I have lost my front tow eye due to FMIC, and really like the look of these. I can not see it being suitable for an MOT tho?

Nor can I see it being very friendly to my shins as I walk past it :lol:

The post code is from the plate suppliers, not my address :-D

It is only two bolts to remove it, so I might just have it on for trackdays...........depends how many times I bump my shins on it :-D

There is not much to bolt it to, with the depth of the front bumper and it is right at the end of the chassis leg. I am going to get some thick 1/4 inch plate and brace it up some more, with a length both inside and outside the chassis.
