After getting my new hornet today, I was horrified to discover that it has the most fugly reg plate holder in the world - it is literally a massive slab of plastic with the reflector in the middle. I was thinking of sawing it off but that would look untidy.

Do BCF massive know where I can get a replacement number plate mount for the hornet that will take the normal indicators?

Thanks

You can make a very tidy job of cutting them down by finishing the edges with a mini-grinder. A flap-disc or plastic-backed sanding disc works best but you can also do well with a normal grinding disc, though a used one of those is better.

Grind along the edge of plastic, not across, and don't overheat it.

Way too expensive and unfortunately the wrong year, mine is a 1998.
