Eoi: Rear Number Plate Surrounds...

[GoldZilla]

Hey guys and girls,

I have an idea to neaten up the area around the rear number plate. Very rarely (on ANY car) do you see that the treatment of this area is neatly done, and if your number plate is smallish like the NSW premium plates are, it leaves a lot of free space with the dodgy-looking plastic backing showing.

I'm thinking of making some perspex backing plates to go behind the number plates so it looks a whole lot cleaner. I'll probably make them very basic (no need for them to be anything elaborate), round off the bottom edges to match the shape of the area, and just smooth off the sharp edges so no-one cuts/injures themselves. I'll paint them in black, or for those who wish to match them to their car's colour or create something different I will leave them unpainted.

I'd take a photo of the area, but my digital camera is dead, and my camera phone doesn't have a flash, so the photo it took (even at 2.0MP) was crap due to lack of light. Maybe tomorrow during the day I'll take a shot.

So, who'd be interested?

I'm not really sure what you are proposing.

i dont get it either.

i like the rear numberplate holder in my car, it is very tidy...?

OK, I'll get some proper photos tomorrow of the area. It's the area between the tail-lights...

When you take your plate off, the area behind it is pretty dodgy, and unfortunately some number plates don't properly cover the lumps and bumps of that plastic mould...

This photo illustrates the area, but not in enough detail to show it...

My current plate is smaller than the one in that shot, so it's not as well covered now.
