UK Series II front number plate removal

Can some one let me know how to remove the rivets!?

Also does it leave any holes?

Cheers

What rivets ...

the US plate frame is held onto the bumper by 2 screws. They leave holes behind but you cannot see them to be quite honest.

Front Number Plate Holders are different for Australia, UK and North American Series II RX-8's.

2 front Grilles also, 1 for Aust/UK and One for USA, don't ask the difference between the two as I don't have them to compare.

My front Plate fitting looks the simplest...see AU EPC pic..
And the Other for UK..with Rivets.
Last USA..


AUSTRALIA



UK



USA
