Lincolnbaggie Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Had a search but couldn't find an answer. How have people fitted their number plate onto a Nismo V1 front spoiler? The original black plastic plate surround off the OEM bumper doesn't fit the new bumper and I can't see how it's going to look good Minel, how did you attach yours? Any pics or help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Id suggest some really strong mounting tape (double sided from halfrauds) warm up some water and soak the plate in it until its a bit soft, then attach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 pics in gallery mate. I just used sticky pads straight onto the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 You putting that plate on the new beast Sarnie? Oh yes Yours is on a similar par to mine as far as getting pulled goes I suppose. Although you probably won't be driving it as often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrowed in the attached picture. There is a metal bracket that screws over this for the JDM number plate, but obviously they are a different shape completely. Still looking for a better way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looks fine to me, i wouldnt see that as a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolnbaggie Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looks fine to me, i wouldnt see that as a problem Personally I think it will look naff with that showing in the middle of the grill. There must be a way of fixing the number plate so that it sits over that plate rather than on the bumper above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still looking for a better way Get a motorbike rear shrunk down plate. That'd look sweet! It's illeagal but take it off if you get pulled for it!

Zzzz... Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Adhesive number plate sticker , I know in the past they said they are illegal because they are not reflective... but this guy http://www.craigsplates.com/questions_a ... l#anchor15 says: Do you make flexible stick-on (self-adhesive) plates? Yes we do. This type of plate is a show plate for off road use only as it is non-compliant with BSAU145d thanks to a blanket ban by DVLA. We believe they banned them as most were sold directly to customers in kit form, therefore spacings were not adhered to when they were made up. Our plates are reflective and use the legal font (unless a different font is chosen) so they would comply if they weren't banned!! Bendy, flexible, stick-on (self-adhesive) plates are not made of solid acrylic and are more like a reflective sticker that can be placed directly onto the bodywork. You can only order this type of plate by specifying that you require a showplate during the order process. We sell two different sizes, standard oblong and square. If you require a different size please call us. Effectively if it looks pretty much standard, in the right place, and looking pretty standardish (i.e. not bent over a bumper crease etc...) I couldn't see many coppers stopping you for that ( specially now they don't seem to exist on UK roads...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzzz... Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Note my wife's micra number plate is an acrylic plastic base with a number plate sticker on top of it... that's what the dealer gave us!... so it looks like a normal plate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
