With the spotties attached, the weight and movement will be enough to split the two metal straps which fixed from the grille panel to the bar.
The number plate mount is basically screwed into the soft foamy plastic and on the first shallow water crossing I did the screws pulled out and the numberplate fell off in the water!!!!
Go the chrome nudge bar or fit a good quality aftermarket one instead and save yourself the hassle!

My 2c worth...

Cheers thanks. That sort of decides that idea...... will be looking for some sort of other bar now.

Good to hear that confirmed. I looked at one when I got my D2a and whilst it wasn't what I wanted I thought that was about how it would behave.
