Al Futtaim Motors' licence plate bumper holes

[CircuitJerk]

I was gonna say it's not factory but the holes look cleaner than my mess, and mine were done at the dealership.
That's a real ****-move if it's coming like that from the factory... EDIT: Orly? I can't say d-ick? What a bitch. My father's name was D_I_C_K! FFS!

My ugliness...

Yours are pretty simple to cover up, I don't know what it would be called in English but they use fiber to cover up the holes then sand it down and paint it to make it look like new.

To be honest the size of your holes are what I expected to have on mine yet I was surprised with half of the bumper gone .

I asked my dealership for no holes and I didn't have any. I don't think this is from the factory, but might be done at the port depending on your location.

Yes, I've heard of a few cases like yours, they do it at the port usually but when someone said it's from the factory it got me confused.

Drilling the front plate is part of vehicle delivery. Unless you ask specifically not to do it, they will do it if a front plate is required in your state.

Yeah, I have the same problem here in America. I bought my car in Virginia where they require font plates. But I live in North Carolina, no front plate required. I took the plate bracket off and found giant holes. Very pissed.

In my province, front plates are mandatory as well. However, they still went through with my request. As long as you ask they won't do it.

Same thing for us too but to get a sticker number or a rather smaller size plate number you would have to show the car registration dept. that there is no way of mounting a normal sized licence plate in there.

Not quite sure I'd call them holes, maybe holes on steroids . 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.

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.

damn that sucks, someone's gotta pay

on the bright side, you have an excuse to get a TRD front lip kit now

Maybe I should get this covered by the warranty and have them replace it with a TRD

Damn and I was planning on getting the relocation kit too, now I'm afraid to pull my plate off.
