Number plate location ?

[TomF]

Cant decide if I should put it on the left or the right of the gril - motor bike sized plate, or a cut down normal plate on the splitter. Any thoughts ? Also the holes are meshed, just the camera didnt pick it up too well, and what about putting the original GTE badge back on and the 16V sticker ?

[Tom Williams]

fabricate some brackets to hold it in the standard location but not attached ot the grill

[triple8]

number plate as a sticker above the big hole on the bumper and under the grille?

[BarryGTE]

i put mine at the side so i needed to get a square one made
by the way your paint work is excelent mate

[BigbaRd]

nah normal sized plate smack in the middle. looks better on cars with big holes in the front bumper (like mine as well)

[Caul Pope]

Was about to mesh my bumper fairly simular to yours. Have same dilemma myself, was gonna try bike plate on near side, maybe mount it on the bump strip things.

How about two brackets that extend from under the splitter to hold a normal plate that allow you to remove the plate at shows n stuff, I reckon to chrome brackets protroding from under the bumper could look pretty cool.

ps. I agree - sweet paint mate

I put mine on the mesh,dont look all that good tho. I take it off for shows and things like that

Tom,your car really is sweet

Cheers ! I have motorbike sized plate made up , and I think thats what I`ll use , but on the offside though, cos Ive got on original 16V sticker to go back on.

Alrighty TomGTE! I said go for near side as I thought that maybe a legal way of using a square plate on the front (of course unless center mounted). Probably totaly wrong and I'm talking out my ***, it's just that 'Bushy Evo's' and some Alfa's have them mounted nearside thats all.

Original 16v sticker hey! how u source that or would that be telling. May interest you, just seen a '16vGSI' badge on ebay going for around £35!!

where did ye get tha plate made up lad ? am afta exactly same thing for my gsi bigmouth.

Wouldn't get 50 yards driving that thing down ere, that's an illegal sized number plate they'd pick up on that within 50 yards. I've been pulled for less - having my windows rolled down one time (they thought I was hiding limo tints wanted to check)

[Vauxnova]

spray it onto the mesh !

Its a standard motorbike sized plate, not had any trouble so far with it.
