Its on :P

Thank You

Tools required - 10mm wring spanner
Time Taken - 10 minutes

For NSW Plates you may find that you have to drill two new holes in your plate at the bottom. Its worth just spending the extra couple of minutes getting the holes in the right spot. I fitted the first nut then lined up the second one with the plate attached.

Is it just my imagination - feels like I have picked up about 20 extra Kws and fuel use has halved since installing this 15 minutes ago :lol:

Thanks Boags

Drill two holes in the top.

Or if the holes line up, just flip the bracket upsid-down.

As Sig said my thin NSW plates only have holes at the top. Only takes a minute to sort out.
Agree about the marks left by the old ones - I raised this at my last service and service centre tooks pics for Mazda. Waiting a response. Will post response here here I get it

Got mine as well, not sure when I'll have time to put it on
my old one left heaps of marks from previous owner on the front bar, but then someone ran into me and it got replaced, probably not the best way to get 2 small dents fixed up :P

anyone got pics of side mount on NB ??

So where's all the photos?
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Just installed mine today, installation was a breeze took about 10 min in total. :D , very pleased with results. Didn't have the issues as I have the standard large yellow NSW plates which have the holes on the bottom. Thanks Boags.
