JoshC Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Don';t know if this has been done before but posted another thread a while back about how to fix a square plate to the front of my Z after I had the badge and number plate holes smoohted out. Didn't want to use the stickers or drill into fresh paint so was ging to use a bracket to come under the front of the bumper but paid a vsit to my mates garage and came up with a much simpler solution. We took the towing eye from the boot, cut off the actual ring on the end and welded a small metal plate to it. Then screwed the number plate into the end of the towing eye/mounting plate and screwed it into the towing eye hole. The beuaty of it is, you can't see where it's mounted and it can easily been taken off any time and the little slot out of the grill reaplced to have a compleetely smooth front end again As you can see it's a rough job and the holes screws could have been lined up better if you have OCD but needed a quick solution and this took 10 minutes! (also added number plate stickers to just the plate to stop it scratching the bumper as it's a very flush fit.) And of course have got hold of a new towing eye from a scrappies! Quote
Tackleberry Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Hah! Litterally just about to search for a solution exactly like this! Good effort! Quote

Tackleberry Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Had seen that earlier, couldn't remember where. I need this! Quote
JoshC Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 Not seen that Stillen one before but pretty much the spame thing! Mine cost me just a replacement towing eye though and a favour from a mate with a welder! Maybe I'll get him to make up some tidier versions and charge half of what Stillen are Quote
Vlad Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Oh awesome! Did see same thing months ago on FB group and was about to start searching...but you saved me that job lol Quote
parello9 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Im thinking of doing this for the 70 nismo bumper Want the cleanest look possible 1 Quote
Neilp Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 I think the square plate looks ugly as, on the front of a sed. Normal plate is much more natural and cleaner looking 1 Quote
