That's an OEM part that can be ordered from the dealer...

That trunk finisher in the pic is for US license plates and the inset for the plate is narrower than in European model, which is shown in that RealOEM pic GENEaTALS posted.

Thanks, so i take it i have to order this part from a US dealer? or are there any other companies out there that do this?
I don't know about that US part in Europe. You'll need the EU version for your long GB license plate though.
Here's mine:

You can order the European trunk finisher for your UK car from the UK dealer, simple as that. I ordered mine last spring from a Finnish dealer. I wasn't able to find it from any aftermarket parts seller.

do you have a part number by any chance? also what happens with the lock? does it get covered and also can you still use the existing license plate lights?
i like the one you have better actually......your car looks sweet!

Boot lock is gone forever. So don't ever disconnect the battery and close the boot.
Check with your dealer and compare it with this price
