I said i'd tackle this at the weekend. It's my first DIY job on the teg other than changing the valve caps
I hope it helps.
You will need:
1. a decent tool set with phillips screwdrivers and a 10mm socket set.
2. Halfrauds Plastic Bumper Paint. (black)
3. this tutorial
--------------------------------
1. Here's a pic of the plate surround before i got started. There are white bits on it from sun fade and wax build up. as you can see

2. Use a size 10 socket to take the central bolt out. It's a long one with a washer and a bolt at the back. NOTE: These can be hard to get at so before you get started make sure you can reach in to the back of that bolt to see if you can put them back on when the time comes. if you can't reach them i would recommend having access to a lift, or even taking the bumper off.

3. Here you see the washer and nut that are located awkwardly on the inside of the bumper.

4. Here's the next size 10 bolt to take out. there are two of them which hold the number plate surround steady.

5. Here's what the car looks like without the number plate surround... DROOL, apart from that ugly hole. I'm thinking of getting it filled and switching to sticky plates.
