Warped rear licence plate insert
#11
I have absolutely no mechanical skills whatsoever. I imagine that if I try to do it, I'll end up with silicone sealant solidified all over the paintwork and a melted plinth...

Neither am I, but I had a go - glad I did too If I can do it, anyone can . All there is, is 2 screws on each side, 5 clips and some bit of force to remove the bumper. The rest of it, is straight forward. Unscrew the brackets and make sure it's straight. With a bit of reinforcement I ended up super gluing the surround to the bumper and it is "job is a goodun".
I've sort of documented in my thread. Hope it helps My link
good luck

Talk about coincidence but I've just bought some black silicone sealent and was going to take off and do my no. plate plinth this weekend and deal with any rust .
OP . It is really quite easy to remove the bumper and fix this rather than pay someone else to do it .

I appreciate the thought anyway! I'd probably better get used to repairing the bumpers myself (living in Bristol) anyway I suppose...

living in Bristol, just make sure while you are round the back fixing the bumper, no-one is nicking your lights round the front!!
