I'm concerned more people out there aren't removing the mole on their bumpers. Come on people, show us you're surgery.

I agree Brad,
I got rid of the mole holding my number plate to my gen 2 a couple of months ago. I did however take the easy road (thanks for the heads up a while ago Dan) and like Leelu and Caff picked up a pair of Lakin plate covers. Makes the whole customisation of the front bar so much easier i think.
Here's a couple of before and after shots so ppl can get an idea of what it's all about and how much neater it all looks...

What's the method/technique people are using to remove the factory bracket...?
Drilled out the rivets. Then it just popped off.
Does this technique leave possibilities to refit the bracket should there be a need?
I handed my Lakin kit over to the car yard and they did mine. Did such a good job that they obviously didn't use the bits that came with the kit and the nut they used on the left side came loose. Had to go to Bunnings in search of a new nut and bolt to refit it myself.
Didn't think about keeping factory bracket at the time, oops .

This is what I purchased for my GF's NC MX5, it had this big ugly black plastic square ting that looked stupid specially with slimline plates, not sure if something like this might work on an MPS???
