Al Futtaim Motors' licence plate bumper holes
 

Hey guys,

Been thinking about relocating my licence plate and buying the grimmspeed relocation kit. Well, before buying that, I decided to take off the factory's licence plate bracket (Al Futtaim Motors in United Arab Emirates) for the sake of knowing how un-noticeable the holes will be when looked from a far distance and guess what I found!

Not quite sure I'd call them holes, maybe holes on steroids :bellyroll:. What's the point of that! I don't think the word "Aluminum" or "light-weight" licence plates were in their minds when they were drilling holes on the bumpers, more like the word "steel" and "heavy-weight" were. :lol:

To all Al Futtaim motors cars, beware about thinking to relocate your licence plate, guess we have to replace the bumper or fab the crap out of the bumper to make it work.

Big bummer.

Sorry to see that. Sucks bro.

holy SHIT! Whoever's job it is to drill those holes should be shot!

and i thought i was being dumb because the plate frame made two little "dents" in my bumper and scratched the paint off......damn man that sucks

Might just replace the bumper with a new undrilled one and get the kit, got used to their crap from all of the yota's I had.

Have you guys got slimline plates in Dubai?

Basically like a normal plate, just a bit slimmer. Maybe you guys even have "sticker" plates that are legal over there? That could work as well :P

Is it just me or do those holes look to "factory" to be a tech a dealerships job. I haven't seen many euro spec 86's maybe factory made on those?

Wow that suks. I would just mount the plates back on

Yes I am about 100% sure the holes in your picture are factory. Look at some other GT 86 and you will see eerily similar holes.

They are factory

I would hate to see what the bumper of something like a ferrari or lambo looks like.

Factory.

Yeah we do, they're not given away easily since some have abused them as in you'd see a car with a really huge place for a number plate and in the end you'd see just a small sticker lmao.

That's weird, my friend has an 86 but from another dealership and he doesn't have these holes! surprised to see they come from the factory like this.
