    I did it on my Cooper S. the best method o found was scribing the plastic with a Stanley knife. The Dremel method only worked OK, so switched to scoring the plastic with a knife and then snapping it off with a pliers.

    Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind and hopefully it goes well. The aero grill looks well on your car! So do the pressed plates, did you get them online ?

    I got the little S on EBay just to make it different. The reg plates are from Trevor at Eireplates, he lives around the corner from me.

    I got the Cooper surrounds on EBay.

    I’ll have to order a set from him so the current ones have the dealer name attached to the plate and should have been changed long ago!

    I was thinking of fitting the plate directly to the bumper, as in remove the factory holder/surround. Dec has it done and it looked tidy at the tullamore c&c.

    I’ve been using the wife’s E83 the last two days with one or two rescue missions involved.

    Very impressed with it, didn’t miss a beat. The combo of manual gearbox, torquey Diesel engine and good tyres that are not massive (I think 235) made it a perfect weapon for the current weather.

    Passing fwd cars on hills whilst sipping a nice cup of coffee was my highlight

    Good winter tyres and 225 square set up is seeing me nicely around in the e92. Giving me smug satisfaction seeing fwd cars on summer tyres stuck Have to disable the traction control sometimes though and drive around with DTC on the rest of the time.

    Forgot you have winter tyres on her! I took mine off 2 weeks ago, will assess the situation though. If I need to make a journey in the next day or two, theyll be going back on
