...one new number plate bracket, one new slim line number plate and to top it off one new 'Zoom Zoom' number plate surround.

Also late but being pulled over last weekend for not having a front plate served as a kick up the rear and finally got around to installing mine!

I installed the side mounted bracket today... is it really close to the nose? Did you folks put any rubber adhesive on the back side of the bracket to prevent paint damage?

mine cleared the bumper with HEAPS of room.. did you pull it as far forward as you could when you were doing up the bolt on the tow hook?

Cheers

oh snap...

My MX5 doesnt have tow hooks... Was wondering why it looked strange on my one... I bolted it on to the leftmost hole at the bottom of the mouth...

I need to get me some tow hooks now :?

I had my car reversed into and the protruding screws wrecked my untouched front bar :cry:

This bracket looks like it would solve some problems and looks good too. What number plate sizes fits the bracket? Sorry if this has already been answered!

I scrolled through the thread quickly. It looks likes a lot of you have personalised smaller plates. I just have the normal sized WA plates

Cheers,

Ken

If your going for personalised plates then order them without holes. It means that u drill them exactly where you want them to be and you dont end up with holes which arent used.

ALL plates should have holes in the same place to comply with ADRs. Richard has MOST CERTAINLY designed these to comply with the ADRs. ALL plates fit. :D

I'm a bit late to the party, but you can see a shot of mine here. Yes I know it's wonky. I need to adjust that :P

Incidentally, is that spot about how high everybody else's sit? I swear it looks like it's lower than everyone elses...
