fatjoez 3 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 yo yo where would i go to get either.. rubber mount for screws to act as a spacer between the number plate / bumper or a generic, compact numberplate mount (not the massive square metal blocks ...) or rubber screw mount anything really placemakers? mitre10? jaycar?

Apex 693 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 You talking a euro plate?? I used double sided moulding tape. No mounts. No holes. Tidy. Or you can buy the proper holders off the likes of Germanplates.com. BMW NZ dealers just drill holes and screw them on if that helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatjoez 3 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) yeahh mate suggested tape, don't wanna go down the sticky road. Rather just find some rubber mounts for the screws.. might just do the rounds ~ repco , mitre10mega all else fails there's ebay ps: its from germanplates.com but he used a shorter-length euro plate which he had no frame for, 36CM long Edited May 21, 2010 by fatjoe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjay 8 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 ps: its from germanplates.com THATS ILLEGAL! I'l say Bunnings could help too. I'm a Mitre 10 Mega man myself, maybe even Ripco? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 None of them sell number plate mounts but go hard, it’s your Friday. I made a rangi mod one with tool box hinges once… looked ok and was hinged so I could pull it upwards when I was doing 300KPH runs on the South Auckland Auto Bahn. The hinges were mounted inside the intake and the plate could fold under. So fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatjoez 3 Report post Posted May 23, 2010 the whole point of this was, the front bumper where the plate goes, heightwise only fits a europlate, normal plate hangs off the bottom and looks stupid. so thinking about just cutting the bottom/top of the plate a bit to make it shorter and call it a day, anyone got a metal cutter / sander / spare time? lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted May 24, 2010 dont do that. if you get pulled up for it, you wont be able to produce unmodified plates which will mean youll have to get the car reregistered. a better idea would be to get some europlates imported (seeing as you are just as likely to get pulled over for them), or paint the plate number onto the bumper. just carry your legit plates with you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 Individually So they end up costing around 180 euro/us or $300-360NZ for a pair wheras plates.co.nz are $399NZ or $599NZ for a semi personalised one that is legal! I thought they would be crazy cheap seeing as loads of BS members have the germanplates ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 Germanplates.com. I priced up a pair yesterday just cause and they're $120 landed here. Don't know where you're getting that amount from Cliff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 Yeah i was looking at germanplates pricing and it came up to about 90 odd dollars for plate plus surrounds and assuming that, that was for one and the 90 was euro or US that was just a rough (very) calculation that it would be about 3 hundy for a pair...that's what confused me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cliffdunedin 8 Report post Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) After having another quick look at germanplates...man was i wrong, and i don't know where and how i got that first number...but what you said Nick is about right Edit: oh and if you put the code 10off you get 10% discount Edited May 29, 2010 by cliffdunedin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
