Mounting Brackets For Prestige Plates

[arsn34]

So my plates were delivered today, and everything was great, until I see that they won't fit in the recess at the rear, and not in the curve at the front. I could bend them, but I'm not spending that amount on something that I'll do a home job on and I've grown quite attached to the casing... :shy:

So, case and point, does anybody know where I can get some mounting brackets so I can start cruising around with the cars new identity...

Bend it....

use spacers and long type screws for the back

"L" shape brackets for the frontbar depending on where you're mounting it. I assume you cut out a section for the intercooler?

you will probably need to bend them or cut them for the rear unless you wanted to go to the trouble of getting your rear bar modifyed to suit the plates, these cars were designed for jap plates not aussie ones and jap ones are pretty much square

You dont have to bend shit .. Goto the hardware shop and buy some 5mm thick spacer washers.. Use two or three whatever to make it sit out..

Buy a nice licence plate surround and bolt it all in.. Use longer screws than before obviously and use a bolt on the rear with a washer for good measure..

Bending what a waste..

yeh but one the rear you'd need to space them out quite a bit and they cover the reverse lights a bit, dont know if it'd look that good sticking out that far and overlapping the reverse lights, i mean in the end its up to you, your car so if you like it that way then its cool

on my car the plates 'just' touch the reverse lights, no big overlap, no bent plates. Even fit some plate frames on it too, Just gotta find the right size spacers

besy pic I could find on my comp, but you can sort of get the idea

Shame we can't get japanese style box plates:)
