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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Reactions: Ray.81

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