Honeycomb grill

[Ray.81]

Could anyone tell me the best way to trim a bumper like this so it doesn’t have the ref plate cover ready for a grill like in the picture ?

cheers guys

My A3 is 8P so it may be a bit different but here is how I tackled it.

I cut mine like this:

This is before the cut, the grille would not fit

Cut the centre piece:

Attach the rings base and licence plate:

Done:

Note:

I painted the aluminum bumper with PlastiDip. That way you can’t see it through the grille and PlastiDip won’t chip.

Hope this helps.

As above, just cut straight through, either side.

Cheers mate that’s a big help, did you just use a Stanley knife or similar to do the cut ?

Multitool, dremel, hacksaw, grinder, whatever cuts easiest for you.
