Looking very nice @ABYSS! Bet you can't wait!

What is the bit made out of where the rear plate goes?

I want to stick mine on but it looks a bit like foam? Wondering how well it will stick to that.

Haven't read through all the responses so apologies if this has already been answered. I think as @Rob2k68 says it is for rattling purposes. I stuck a plate on with Harris Number Plate Tape on my Focus ST on top of the foam stuff and it was fine, never came un-stuck at all.

Also on my S3 the detailer cut down the foam (slightly shorter than normal plate) and I believe the remainder of it is still behind the plate (which he stuck on)

Should be fine

Tips: Clean the plate back with IPA and warm it all (foam and the tape) with a hairdryer before you stick it down

That's what I done with the current one, heated it all up with a hairdryer, I used 3M trim tape. I'm tempted to go with the Hills 3D plates - if the chap replies to my questions.

Are they gel domed or metal? If metal, check out gel domed, might give you yet another choice haha

Not 100% sure, the plate is metal but the lettering looks like a different material. That's one of the questions I'm hoping to have answered lol

I had seen a better picture of an ara r8 and sepang rs6 which showed the difference better but this is all I could find

There's moving pictures to this also
