Number plate holder
Hey guys with cars,
You able to tell us the size of the holders. If the holder can be removed And a close up of the front holder to see how much of the holder is exposed once plate is attached. Cheers!!! |
U have standard sized or slimline?
Standard size should cover it with slimline the holder is exposed a little on the bottom. There are 4 nuts to hold the holder onto the bumper. With pic, u can check out some of the members whose cars are delivered. |

291mm x 135mm No PreDrilled holes. Hoping someone might have a picture of a car with no plates on it, so i can see how i am going to mount it... If the holder can be removed I might just wip up my own holder. |
do we know if the plate holders come pre attached?
i gave instructions for my dealer to not attach the plates or plate holders to my car. i dont want holes in my brand new front bar... anyone else order theirs with no front plate? or instructions to not drill or mount anything to the car. |
I asked for.this but they are done when the car is built only USA cars come without the holder.
|
your shitting me... they dont deliver bloody klugers with plate holders.. but they factory ruin their best sports car...
|
Yeah sorry :(.
I double checked with my dealer. |
I will change mine to standard size then.
|
Can I ask why you guys are so critical of 2 holes in the bumper to mount a (mandatory) numberplate? I just dont see why its a big issue.
|
Because it looks ugly... and I would like to position the holder myself one that would.be perfect size for my plates.
|
I'm not sure, just taking a shot in the dark. But judging by Ravine's GTS the front looks removable. i'm sure there is a way... If you are thinking about changing the front lip or whole body kit (say, if you want to put TRD body parts on), hopefully it won't be there on the new lip or body kit. If that made any sense...

remove it from the car, affix your plate, cut off the visible portion of the holder. |
a better way is just ditch the holder and mount the plate directly onto the bumper.
hoping the holes would line up but i doubt it. |

Would it be illegal to drill new holes in the plates? |

(Current car has it screwed right into the bumper). |
its technically illegal because the plates are property of the state if i recall correctly and if you got a really picky cop, you can get pinged for it.
import owners bending the rear plate to fit into the recess usually get stung by this law (in NSW at least) moving a screw could be seen as an attempt to obstruct clear visibility of the characters if you got a really evil cop. mounting it directly on the bumper could cause wear to the paint. maybe back it with some rubber cement or something and let it cure before mounting, or mount it with some rubber washers. |

someone who makes an elegant solution for sale should be able to make a few bucks i reckon.
|
if there are holes, ill just get a sticker numberplate made up..
can someone take their aussie plate holder off and show us the aftermath of toyota australia butchering the sexy front bar? |

Look for existing slimline plate holders from other cars. As long as it has a similar shape you can just redrill holes in it to match where they are on the bumper.
Or you might be able to trim back a stock one with a Dremel. |
just come back from my dealer, he confirm that they can remove the no.plate holder for me, and drill 2 holes on my slim plate and screw it on the 2 holes on the front bar left by the plate holder as the original plate holder got 2 screw on the front bar n 2 more on the grill....
|
of course it can be removed. its about not wanting the bloody holes!

I hope the sticker doesn't F up the paint. I was wondering, if you end up sticking a number plate sticker on the lip and then one day you decide to change the lip. Does that mean you have to get a new sticker or do you just simply peel it off and stick it on the new lip?

:burnrubber:I went for a test drive today and took a photo of the number plate holder, i also asked a service guy there when he was setting up an 86 for pick up, if its possible to remove the number plate holder to fit the premium plates. he goes its removable, but you'll have to bend the plates a bit which is illegal. whats wrong with the plate holder? "i'm like "its too big" his like " nah, its perfect, i mean, yeah it's made for jap plates, but it's not blocking anything, so you'll be right ;)".
