The red strip is removable, but the honeycomb part isn't.
You can take off the whole honeycomb grille and number plate area though if that helps.
Also, don't put your numberplate in the windscreen, it's illegal, and when you do get pulled you will more than likely start a thread complaining about being pulled. :happy2:
