cant decide on a favoured method of fixing my front number plate.....
 
after more than a few run ins with the popo i should probably just put it on!
 
in particular looking at mounting methods for aftermarket bumpers,
 
here\'s a pic of the front
 

 
could go sticker plate, could mount to the side, square or long?, leter sizing?, could mount it in the gap/duct, may reduce cooling slightly.
 
lets see what you\'ve done!

Sticker all the way!  Just watch that paint tho ;)

Mine is maybe a bit small (at the legal minimum size) never had a problem with the bab tho :)

Stikcy on the front bumper. That way no holes needed. We\'ll be doing the same.

D2BBA, your car looks a different shade every time i see it!
 
sticker position\'s good on yous, mine wouldnt manage it there as it\'d be pointing no where near forward! so if it\'s the sticker route it\'ll need to be on the main body of the bumper.
 
if i do choose that route, where you get yours made up??

Hi matey,

Colour change is a combination of House of Kolor\'s fine work and the good old british weather, lol.

Jonno made my plate for me:)

ive got a bracet that hinges - when i go to a show i will flip the plate up so you cant see it and then when im on the roads ill flip it downwards.

Dont bother with one I\'ve had my FD almost 18 months and in that time I\'ve never had a number plate on it and havent been pulled once *kiss of death*

Hey hammy, i was asking the guy in the civic type r you were parked next to about your car. At knockhill on sunday.

hammy

yeah was nt meant ot be on that stand (beside a corsa grrrrrrr) was meant to be on an all jap stand with mates but ran out of space.
 
Gtesy, i\'ve had my rx 13months....had 2 £30 fines and one \'take it to an mot station with the plate fixed get a bit of paper stamped and send it back\' :(
 
fd3sNuttah you got pix of your set up?
 
was originally trying to get brackets that are sprung, so plate folds flat when doing over 40mph, been increadibly hard to source since they were banned in japland. had a go at making them but without exact springs it aint easy + bit sloppy

Did you no him? I was asking him if you would sell the car?
