Looking to remove the plinth the No plate attaches to with a view to fastening shorter (5 digit) plate straight to the cross bar, it appears the plinth is riveted not screwed to it ??? Anyone confirm this???

Mine was held on by 3 screws. I think they're fitted by the dealer at the PDI so if your supplying dealer used rivets just drill them out. I had a smart repair done to fix the bar. The colour is piano black. See my picture on the previous page of this thread.

Mine was screwed on as was an SVR bumper I fitted
I simply took it out the grille (with bumper off) and had it filled and sprayed. I narrowed the plinth for 5 digit plate and refixed it
