wide Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 hi all, ive just upgraded to a bulge bonnet & v2 bumper on my 06 kuro & think it looks great, but the problem is what to do, as in no. plate options. do i go for a smaller 12" x 3" show plate which im leaning towards but worried about getting pulled or maybe a retratable one like shires, what other options are there??? plz post pics of the various ways youve done it & by all means obscure your plate no. thanks for any help matt.

Walbertonio Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Honestly not sure if this is strictly legal, but certainly didn't have any problems in 18 months or so? Quote
Gudzy Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Honestly not sure if this is strictly legal, but certainly didn't have any problems in 18 months or so? How did you manage to fit it in there, my plate is too big to fit in that gap. Also, where is it screwed into, it looks like the screws are on the edges whereas the only place I canthink to screw it is in the middle. I'm looking at making a holder to fit in the tow hook, inspired by this: http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?id=STILICBKT01&c=EX&r=&b=&m=all Quote
Wasso Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 The thing to do is get a motorbike sized number plate which is what I did. It's technically illegal although I've not been stopped? Quote
buster Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 thanks to Wasso and his advise i too opted to go down the same route... Quote
wide Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 yes think im going to do the same is it the 12" x 3" plate? thanks wasso & everyone else who helped. matt Quote

buster Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 if you want the retractable number plate let me know and i can get you one this could be interesting pray tell. Quote
rodgeevans Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Bloke around the corner sells them. i give him the money and post them out. cost £110 to your door which is the same price as the group buy was last year and we had VAT increase and exchange rates have got worse since then too and this is a single unit price and not waiting for 9 others or more to want one too. Have already sent some out to a couple of members on here who could verify the product. Quote

ChrisS Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Not the cheapest but I was very happy with their service when I used them. (not plates as above though) http://www.craigsplates.com/ Quote
Chee350 Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 No probs guys, Thanks for looking though, il just have to get one made up quick style as I'm rolling with the plate in the window right now!! Quote
ersen.o Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 hey, heres what i did, i used the oem mount i think it looks more clean and fits perfect Quote
Wasso Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 Looks too large and distracts your eyes from looking at the great lines of the V2. each to their own though Quote
