Front number plate options

Postby zorak » Fri Jun 02, 2006 8:34 pm

After running around with no number plate for ages I decided to put it back on in an effort to reduce the anxiety every time I drive past a police car :roll: . I made up a bracket and bolted it to the tie down hook hole. This is the result - what do you guys think?

It looks good, very \"JDM\".

I put mine on the other side further away from the speed cameras. :wink:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I did the same, just a peice of metal and a few bolts...though i bent my plate to \"wrap\" around the front bar...i dont like it sticking out there in mid air all by itself...but thats just me and my particular nature

Possibly...

If I'd left that one on instead of making a stronger one I wouldnt have cut a slit in the front bar the other night when the numberplate got tangled in fence0wire, it would have just ripped off. The new one was strong enough to hold the car on the fence wire and stop it sliding back down the embankment onto the road, couldnt get the car to budge till we cut the fence up

I'm still really happy with my install.
And yes, it is attached to a bracket, not the nose.

Jules, you haven't been tempted to do a yellow number plate surround ?
