GNoodle 5 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Hey Guys Has anyone tried bypassing the number plate mount and bolting the plate straight to the bumper using the plate mount holes? I have a 330 x 155 front plate, I've been looking for mounts without much luck, but having taken the mount off today, to look at cutting it own to size, I think it would look better without it. Any help much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

long-gone 152 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 I also use Velcro but it looks a bit cheap/naff. Would prefer a nice mount for my 3/4 size plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey P 32 Report post Posted September 21, 2016 I just removed the plate holder and screwed the new plate into the holes in bumper from the plate holder (think I even used the same screws) assumed this is what everyone was using surely much more secure than Velcro. 1 Ztox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's actually a really good and simple idea!! Might have to steal that one! What size plate do you need to cover the holes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember exactly what mine is and I can't find the paperwork at the moment, my car also isn't kept at home but it looks like this... The gap between the holes is smaller that on the holder. 1 Minion reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gap between the holes is smaller that on the holder. Think I might do that as it looks much cleaner! Any chance you know of a good website to get plates from?

Keethos 842 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 Both my front and rear are held on by velcro and they're very secure, almost a mission to get them off just to put show plates on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was 330mm, you can see from pic there isn't a great deal of room to spare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
