Reg Plate mounting - Hidden Winch options...
Any options and examples of how people have mounted their reg plate once fitting a hidden winch would be appreciated. Can't find anything out there to buy which isn't a plate lifting it above the fairlead hole, however I have seen them mounted infront the fairlead, are these screw on and off, or is there an option to flip-up and down I have missed?D3 TDV6 SE '06

If you PM Hobgoblin on here he has his number plate mounted with some quick release clips and if you wanted to check before you buy I would guess he is not to far from you as he is in Shropshire"Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag'em down to your level. It's cheaper".

My Devon 4x4 bumper has a quick release system. You can just see it in this picture.

John, looks good, is that part of the D44 kit or an additional tweak you have made?D3 TDV6 SE '06

It came as part of the bumper kit. There is a plate that bolts behind the fairlead that the number plate clips onto. Not sure if Devon 4x4 sell this separately as I can’t find it on their website.

I can vouch for that kit
bracket holding reg plate is strong enought to cause bumper damage of the hatch I slightly "touched" in John Lewis years ago
no damage to min his bumper was ripped off of most clips rendering it fooked
Hi Baz, I have the number plate kit from the D44 winch bumper that I didn't use if you want it? No good to me as it blocks the front parking sensors which I quite like 1978 Series 3 88 Military Green (Gone)
