drill some holes and screw it on

[FR33K]

magic !!! :p


screws ? brakets?

i did something slightly similar using a homemade bracket

[egSi]

on my eg i had it cable tied forever in the air dam but i found out if the plate isnt on the most outside part of ur bumper its defectable so i made i nice lil bracked and screwed it in place.

looks neater offset IMO

FREEKs looks good imo too :thumbsup:

[wkdteg]

LoL i was just gonna ask the same question
fr33k can ya put up a write up? just to save us from experimenting with different brackets etc...
my plates r falling off, so i might aswell do sumthin with it
cheers

[IN73GZ]

fr33k that would be great if u could do that write up

[aznsiko]

just a question.. ive been wanting to do it for a while.. but a friend told me its defectable.. is this true.. because ive also heard alot of the turbo cars with the front mounts off set them and they get defects..

[IN73GZ]

yeh it is defectable but heapz of mods are defectable.....

[aznsiko]

yeah i spose.. but like.. its on the exterior.. ive got enough to worry about as it is.. lol.. but will consider.. thanks

[Cold Fusion]

it has to be visible form everywhere the stock one can. so it cant be like, inbeteen 2 bits of bumper or something.


thats what i herd.

[IN73GZ]

probably depends on wat state your in, and truth of the matter is that is generally up to police discretion. if the cop wants to be a dick then he can try and defect you for it, if he is aight then he will leave u alone.

[NTR16N]

me and a mate got pulled over and were both fine...
its illegal if its more then 15 degrees off the front...
so basically its legal if its pretty much facing forward... :thumbsup:

use some creativity... screws and brackets.. start bending some metal.. :D

[Cold Fusion]

my plates are polycarbonate, so they dont bend :S

i might try move them tumora :)

[TEG61E]

i'm pretty sure its not defectable if its far forward enough and facing the right angle...
take the Alfa Romeo 147 for example - it comes stock with the plates on the side.

Just grab some L brackets. Then its just a matter of positioning it before u drill...
If you've ever installed a central locking kit before, you should have a look at the brackets that come with that - they're perfect because the holes are made so that you can slide it into the right position before screwing it tight.

[Cold Fusion]

i got number plate brackets already coz i got brackers on the front, i can just take them iff ^_^

im gonna do it now!!! wish me luck :)

ive tried the double sided tape thing... didnt work out too well as the plates kept fallin off. and its easier 2 have ur plate stolen.

[gxiang]

:D well said. so help me out :D

double sided tape do the trick for number plates? cos the plate might be too heavy. its either standard big plates or slimline ones.

[gxiang]

damn...

can i get like stuck on plastic plates ?? :D

[wkdteg]

ive seen a few sticker plates... where the number plate is on a decal... but im not sure wats the go with them... ur better off gettin a bracket

[gumbs]

I've seen a plate that was held on with double sided tape for ever. But I've also seen them fall off too. but what are you guys going to do to fix up the holes where it was origonally?

[integral90]

haha, i've been wanting to do this for a long time, i thought getting some L brackets and glueing it would work

[gxiang]

they were no holes in the 1st place, car didnt come with any, it used 2 b stuck on plates. so i dnt wanna drill holes yet. but i guess ill give 3M double sided tape a go, they apparently r really good, used it on my mates honda badge lol. c how it goes 1st if all else fails i guess ill drill holes.

G...drill holes...or i'll help u make a custom bracket...i presume u are thinking about my role of 3M....they stick well..but it'll look stupid man...btw...y put s2k when u r getting a ek?

[gxiang]

alrite yea sick. ill see. i actually prob end up getting slime plates even if the back look alil small. cos the front would look hotter. FRONT > BACK ^^

the s2k i didnt put that there, jess did when she wanted one lol i wanna change my username and update details when i get the car :)

[Cold Fusion]

in WA u can get normal sized plates for the back and slim-line for the front

[gxiang]

yea the car im getting has that setup atm, and yes, its comes from WA lol

damn if only that apply VIC too.

[panda[cRx]]

^ lol u can do that everywhere afaik, can do in vic

you can offset the plate fine. it's perfectly legal as long as the plate does not stick out the side. that is why alot of the drift crowd gets defected

and gxiang you can't stick it on with double sided tape, it needs to be fixed down properly. i'm not sure about other states but fitting plates with cable ties in vic is illegal. so are stickers of plates

[gxiang]

damz. guess i have to get brackets. n drill it. ah wellz all good all good.

btw forum noob , whats afaik mean ? :)

[FR33K]

as far as i know

[Spoon DA9R]

haha....hey G...i asked..u can't change name..so u mite as well start a new account hahha...while u r still new....Ben made those brackets for his car for like...5 bucks less.....i'll do it for u later....and y dun u get slim in front and normal size at the back....but the one we check out last time...only normal size.....just see wot happens

[IN73GZ]

you can start a new account but you have to let a mod know you are doing it as they will need to de activate your previous account.
terms and conditions state you can only have one account.

[LO_N_SXC]

IMO I wouldn't bother with relocating the #plates unless you had a FMIC or some thing along those lines, looks cool but I dont see much sence in doing this?

[Stoosh]

depending on what car it is, it can look good...very nice with FMIC like lonsxc said
i was thinking about doing it to my DC4 but dont want to be drilling anymore holes

[gxiang]

adam, u said slim at front, fat at back, u cant do that in vic can u ? unless u buy 2 sets of plates? im not gona do that for a standard plate, its not like its custom mix plates then ill think bout it.

and u said u saw a pair last nite for normal plate? cant b changed for slimline ? :)

ps. are you stalking me and my posts? lol

[Spoon DA9R]

the one we looked up at my house last time don't have slim plate.....dont worry man..that plate is special enough...don't need to be slim...
