Number Plate Spacers

[R33TOM]

Hey i was wandering where you can purchase number plate spacers for my S2 skyline,

the number plate is too big to fit into the front bumper, ive bent the plate but it kinda looks crap.

how did you guys made it fit?

I cut the edges off mine using tin snips, and used permanent marker to draw a fake black edge on the ends... looked mint (until I changed front bar to a 400R, now the cutting is pointless )

Thats what I would suggest as mine looked great. They were black writing on white background style.

i got the yellow ones, and its overlapping quite a bit, i think if i cut them they are gonna stand out too much as there wouldnt be enough room to draw a black outline,

Ahh gotcha...

Get some aluminium box-tube (get it from bunnings i guess). You could also use wood, etc etc etc..

Basically take a 5cm piece of it (or obviously however long it needs to be to make it flush), and put it between the plate and the bumper. Then thread your bolt through the number plate, through the spacer, and through the bumper and put your nut on the back.

If you're using a small bit of wood or whatever, you just need to drill a hole through the middle of the wood to put the bolt through.

I hope that made sense... anyway, thats how I did it initially

sounds good, i think ill head to the hardware store and pick up some of the aluminium stuff, i dont trust the wood, specially when it rains, wood wil eventually detoriate and your have half your number plate hanging off the front

Bingo

This is an interesting thread. I have a similar problem with my qld plate. Can ppl post photos of what they did (blurring out the no. if u like).

Atm mine is bent and looks pretty dodgy

The panel place that painted my 400r bar used some big 2cm thick rubber spacers to keep the plate off the bar
