Hello again everyone!

Thanks for the all the help and advice received so far - I'm afraid I've got another question!! I'm not quite ready to fit my backdated rear end (rs valance/bumper) yet, so in the meantime I've removed those big black rubber overriders you find on the rear bumper of impact cars for a neater look...... one problem.... the lights for the reg plate were mounted in the overriders. Anyone know of a nice solution to light up the plate having lost the horrible rubber bits?

Many thanks

Tim

Hi, The number plate lights on early cars are in the engine lid, maybe you could do this as you'll need to do it once fully backdated anyway?

Just had a look through my photos but I've nothing showing the lights sorry :)

Thanks guys, I've ordered the old style lights from Roger Bray. However - isn't the rear 'porsche' reflector flush with the rear edge of the engine lid making old style lights redundant?
