red Cougar (Holy Grail)

[willeaper]

After advice, managed to remove front no plate using plastic tape in 'sawing action'.
Noticed some old screw holes in bumper, so maybe the car originally had 'brick' (were these fitted to Aussie cars as standard?....)
Will now fit new no. plates which are CO52GAR bought recently from DVLA, couldn't resist and had to be for this Cougar!

This one doesn't have a 'brick' Wil:

It looks like Aussie plates are not so long but a bit wider than ours.


Nor does this Eibach:

Nice catch on the number plate

A hair-drier and an old credit card to remove the residue. Use Lockheed brake/carb cleaner for the finer points.

Looks like there's been some rubbing, so a compound might be called for.

Maybe too late for you Wil but I find white spirit good for removing glue residue. Followed by a bit of waxing.
