Front bumper drilling/plates

Interesting thread going on over in the general section:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22400

has anyone had this happen here? How should the car come on delivery?

Also, what plates does everyone generally recommend? This is the only new car I've purchased so I'm not sure how it works. I didn't negotiate for any type of plate, so I presume it comes with the standard ones?

What ones look best? Slim, european?

The aussie cars come with a bracket already on the front bar, its the same one as they get in Japan.

Just my opinion, but I think slimline look a bit crappy unless you take off the supplied holder and get something like the streetfx slimline holder or the Lakin plat holder. I went with streetfx.

The back has predrilled holes - will not drilled I guess - they are mount points that take a bolt.

I took my bracket off, moved around the nut clamp things and re-bolted it back on. Covers all holes and is the slimmest way to do it
