Yes they dont come with them. I had to buy one the other week. Luckily the dealer had one in stock but they come with holes for sensors which i blocked off with 2 grommets

Mitch, I have the same issue but it never really bothered me until last week. I going to try and carbon wrap it and finish it off with some clear coat. I'll post some pics to see what people think, if it looks crap then I'll remove the carbon wrap and paint satin black with some clear coat just like I intend to do with my Cupra trim.

Only other method is to go straight thro the grille with bolts & secure the plate with large washers or brackets on the inside

What about this?

 

[ultramodz]

Yeah not bad - looks tidy.

 

[mitch_h_88]

tht does look nice, mate

Wasn't sure myself so nice that you guys think it's good. Surprised myself how easy it was, clear coat was £5 off ebay and the wrap was £10. Only took my 15 minutes.
