Vin range: 6A355628 Onwards
The front bumper European registration/license plate plinth will not be installed on vehicles built from the above VIN. Only vehicles destined for markets where it is a legal requirement or have identified a specific need will continue to receive the front bumper European license plate plinth. Specific markets will receive a different license plate plinth while others will receive no license plate plinth. Markets with no plinth should secure the license plate directly to the front bumper.
So not sure if its a legal requirement in the UK but this may explain some not having one.
Mine has.

s'pose I should have read the TSB's first eh?

No plinth, what a shock! Glad I checked as 3 of the 6 adhesive strips holding the plate were coming adrift. I shall now go plinth hunting.

Slimer, yes very worried! I still can't believe for £40K I don't get bloody mud flaps Arranged to buy a cradle for the phone from a chap on the other side so there is a few pennies saved.

No plinth but thanks to 10's quick work on Sunday I still have my plate after my swim.
It looks wrong without a plinth so I'm off to the dealer !

Had my new 06 reg car only a week, so had to go and look to see if it has one - which it does - but now makes me wonder how old the car actually is....
