Default Europlate?? opinions? pics?

I've got a 200....uh just read the sig..

anyway as your see I've spent the time to clear my corners and de-badge my trunk (pics were taken a while ago, just haven't taken new pics.. use your imagination..)
well, i dont need front plates wher i'm at but the previous owner did. so there are holes in my front bumper.. (i'll try to find a pic showing them as well as possible)
I'D DEFINITLY PREFER THE NO-PLATE LOOK (i de-badged the car for more of a 'clean' look, why would i want a plate on it for 'decoration'), but considering the holes.... I'm not sure...

So help me out...
opinions... yeah, na..

and if anyone happened to either have pics of a silver B5 w/ euro-plates.... OR europlates w/ clear corners
I'D REALLY APPRICIATE IT

i went to a local body shop and got some plugs to fill the holes


you could do the same but paint them silver to match the car

and let me add something...........

IMO clearing my corners(and buying the S-YO bulbs-silver/ flash yellow) made a MAJOR difference in the way my car looks, anyone here who has been thinking of doing it and just hasn't... DO IT, IT'S SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT

and yeah, the de-badging helped a good bit too.... but that wasn't nearly as dramatic of an improvement as clearing my corners

both projects I got done in 1 afternoon and fell that it was definitly time well spent, very pleased.....

i need to get some new pics...
