Talk:RENAULT MEGANE R.S. 275 TROPHY - R/@comment-84.24.8.99-20170408011134

The number plates (or number plate brackets) on this car have recently changed.

At first, they were empty and black. Now, they're white, the front one has the text 'MEGANE R.S.' on it and the rear one says 'RENAULT'.

You can not put vinyls over them.

I noticed the other day when I was evaluating the vinyls I put on the car. The number plates changed when I test fitted one of the factory paints to see what it looked like again.

After test fitting the factory paint (without actually buying, it was the one I didn't get with the car) I dismissed it by just going back to the main customisation menu, so my vinyls were re-applied automatically.

The number plates, however, did not change back to black.

After a cloud restore they were black again.

Today I did another test fitting of the factory paint. This time I did the one I got on the car when I received it, in which case there's no automatic re-application of your vinyls possible. So I did a cloud restore to get my vinyls back, which worked just fine.

However, the number plates did not change back to black this time, even after this cloud restore.

So now I'm stuck with the white plates, unfortunately. It takes away from the front aesthetics imo.

Conclusion: If you have and want to keep the black number plates, beware of applying the factory paint you got with the car. Cloud restoring will not restore your black number plates after doing so.
