Ha, ha... I was cleaning up the office and I found the note everyone is talking about. I thought I had somehow missed out. Nice touch Boags!

10 minutes of work, including time spent with the angle-grinder to remove 17 year old bolts.

Thanks lots, Boags.

I finally got around to fitting mine on the weekend. I used double sided tape before and I was very happy except concerned about the thought of them falling off. These brackets are brilliant though. Keeps it nice and close like the tape but more secure. Thanks Boags and thanks Richard at MX5Plus

You curve the numberplate to match the curve of the nose. It's about 20 seconds of careful hand work. :D

I can meet you down there if you like and you can get the GB discount. :D I'd love to see your SP. I haven't been in an SP since my Dad went overseas last year. :cry: I'm having withdrawl symptoms!

Yeah, you do. The curve of the number plate is greater than the curve of the nose though. Still looks better than the one that came from the factory though!

I can be there whenever you are. :D I'm a student, so any excuse for some procrastination is welcome! :mrgreen: :lol: :roll:

I have to pick up another bracket for someone anyway, so I have to go down there.

Yes, the side bracket is designed for both NA and NBs. 8)

Here is a pick from a GBer:

I hope you don't mind me stealing the pic Vince. :D
