muddyjames:
cut mine ages ago just before you said you had some trimmed down ones :(

Did you trim them in the end Dan?

I used a stanley knife for mine and followed the bit where the bumper cap steps down slightly. Mine is a 300tdi though.

pics in my gallery of mine.

rustprooflandyracer:
Are you are able to leave the middle section in place containing the No. plate... You probably are just wanted to check. Then off to buy a good stanley knife.

Cheers Matt

Damonski:
yes you if you put your head under the front end, that number plate mount is only held on with two small screws.

You'll need more than a stanley knife tho, its quite tuff and thick plastic.  I nice little hacksaw would do the job better.  I used a coping saw with a wood blade to do mind, the coping saw allowed it to follow the contour better and reached the middle from both ends of the end caps.

muddyjames:
a brand new stanley knife blade and a ruler to score the line lightly for the first time and then after that the blade follows that line. I managed to do both end caps with 1 blade. The blade was very blunt though by the end of it.

It left a wonderful smooth edge too once cut.

Yes you can leave the plastic bit in place for the number plate. I broke a screw mount though when I did mine and so drilled 2 holes in the botom of it and into the bumper and put 2 screws in it. also means it is quick to remove if I need the high lift jack points on my steering guard and dont need to get muddy underneath. I dont have a high lift jack so wont be very often I need to take it off.
