Title: rear number plate assembly fallen in
Post by: Duffy on September 04, 2012, 05:39:15 pm

So while attemping to change a bulb in the rear number plate light assembly it has fallen inside the bumper.....:wall:

Its an 08 plate. Anyone got any ideas as to how to get it back out without removing the entire bumper aka bodyshop trip :confused:

One of my units has entirely corroded away! Any idea of replacements for these?
