Designed as a lighterweight alternative to the full width number plate plinth, can utilise the existing top plinth mount holes and fixings, or drill your own, or stick on with pU adhesive. Front faces are perpendicular to centreline of the car when about 370mm apart. Left and and right hand version to make the pair. Features: Lightweight - saving 100-odd grammes over standard Allows fitment of standard UK number plate with a front splitter Vertical adjustment of plate for levelling in situ Drain holes to prevent water build-up in the shell Two mounting holes, the top one works in the pre-drilled standard plinth holes Can be permanently fixed using PU adhesive. Printing: standard quality profile in Cura - 0.2mm. I print with a brim but you may get away without depending on your personal bed adhesion strategy. Support is needed for the holes/slots. Infill 25% for strength, skin thickness 0.8mm. Support infill at 20%, print weight of around 31g each. Optionally rub down after printing to take gloss off print and reduce visible layering.
