Focus Mk1 Smoothed Bumper
Just been looking at a pic of a front bumper smoothed without the number plate recess on Mk1 FRS.....
Yay or Nay?

IMO generally it can work well if not OTT, and if you do something similar with the rear too

Judging by the new pics mate, I think it'd look smart!

I never ran a plate on the saph, so don't see it being a problem keeping the plate in the car just in case.

I think it looks amazing, I wouldn't want to run the risk of being without a front plate though. Get caught once and you will get a slap on the wrist, get caught again and you're in the shit.

I never had a problem without a plate, but agree with what you're saying and would probably run a stick on plate, just in case.

Pointless IMO as when you drive it, you'll have to put a plate on, thus covering the smoothed area lol
If you lived somewhere that doesn't need front plates I'd say do it

can't you paint on the number plate? or is that illegal now? I know they aren't the best in colour but at least you retain the smooth curve look which does look quite cool!

here in norway it is not allowed to drive the car without numberplates on it..and i do think it would get you in trouble if you ran without it..
and personally...i actually dont like the bumper without the recess in it...i think actually it looks better the was it is as it comes from the factory
