S-Craft Front Nose Cover
 
Hey Guys!

So after ~12 weeks of waiting, it has finally arrived :bellyroll:

The reason why I bought this was to cover the 4 holes my dealer made in the front nose to mount the license plate, which are useless as I had a relocation kit ready to install :mad0259:

Alright, so as you would expect the part itself is very light and not very stiff which isn't a big deal since it will be going over the nose as an aesthetic piece.

As you can see there are two little holes that can support a license plate, I'm not exactly impressed with these holes, as the idea of this piece was to cover up the holes, plus the advertised picture of the part doesn't show these holes… At least the holes are centred and can be filled by some nice looking bolts that it came with.

So here is the S-Craft promotional picture

Here are the bolts I mentioned

So my dilemma at the moment is 1) Use the mounting brackets that came with the piece and have the license plate in the middle which is what I originally wanted to avoid, or 2) Leave the bolts in (maybe hydrodip/plastidip them black?) and make a hole in the carbon to accommodate the relocation kit

I will be uploading more pictures once the part is on the car in the next coming days when I have some time!

UPDATE: Tried installing the piece the other day and fitment was off by about 1 ¾ centimetres… All I am going to say is that I would NOT recommend this product as it is an expansive POS. However I have been in contact with the company DarkestBuddha linked to, much better looking product and about 40$ less.

spray the bolt black and put the bolt on. You can't see it from a distance.

It looks like that you need to contact with them in advance, if you do
not want the hole or you need to relocate the hole from their website.

The distributor i got it from originally told them that I wanted the relocation area cut out but from what I hear from my distributor, they aren't exactly the best to work with so it is what it is :/

Crappy, I was seriously considering this, but not now... :-/
