Relocating Front Number Plate

[3LGODZILA]

im thinking of relocating my number plate to the RHS, just wondering how u guys mounted it.

i dont really wanna drill into my bumper in case i wanna move it back, but is that how every1 else is doin it?

would double-sided tape hold it? im just worried at high speeds if its gonna hold (on the track of course )

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I've used double sided tape on mine before, and it's never come off

[Ninja gts25t]

if u look at my pic mines jus been drilled in. but yeh double sided tape should do the trick. thats how it was till i decided to have it there permanently.

i wouldnt trust double sided tape, unless youve covered the whole plate in it.

folded over gaffa tape is so awesome it could cure cancer!

i hope you mean passenger side ?

drivers side is ILLEGAL due to camera not being able to read it so cops will rape you if you hae it there

[inthisglass]

I had mine on the drivers side

I always carried around a speeding fine in my glove box that clearly showed the camera seeing my plate

never got in trouble but the guys at the pits made me move it to the middle before they would pass it

[stR33ter]

folded gaffa tape for the win

thats what i did

also if you put it on the right (drivers side) you will get hasseled dy the popo

just drill it.. safest bet and its only 2 little holes, or depending on what bumper u have u might be able to drill some brackets ie Nicks 32

[ahh 33 s2]

i bought two little L brackets for mine.. also never had an issue with police and been pulled over a couple of time and never had a speeding fine either..

[3LGODZILA]

ill probly end up using double sided tape n see how that goes

as for it being illegal on the drivers side thats probably true, but a stupid law as ive driven past speed cameras on both the left and right hand side of the road.

cheers fellas

[GWP021]

i dont think its illegal as such i was told ( by an inspector) that as long as the plate is straight and can be read from anywhere in front of the car its fine but the fuzz will still use it as an excuse to pull you over

ive put mine on the drivers side with a small bracket fixed into the underside of the bumper

[3LGODZILA]

double sided tape did the trick, excuse the crappy fone pic.

i recon the front end looks alot better now

of yeh i ended up using my apexi safc stand to hold on 1 side of the plate lol, came in handy

I had it on the drivers side...was there for 2 yrs.... multiple rbts later... then one officer mentioned to move it... i moved it then and there... he then complained the holes were it once was wasnt correct and I'd need a new front bumper... but as it is now the plate is on the passenger side and they have left me be since. just a thought.

Sounds like something not too many cops know about.

It makes sense though, in that pic above the plate is facing away, so camera's would have trouble reading it.

The Mitsubishi Evo comes out with a side mounted license plate as standard. Maybe look into getting one of those mounts.

[MLCrisis]

All recent Alfa Romeos have their front plates on the left side. So, if some cop tells you that you cannot have it to one side, he/she is talking through the wrong part of his/her anatomy. I am sure there is some other make around that has a side-mounted front plate, which is on the right, but I cannot remember which one! The ADRs only require that the plate is parallel to your front axle (or some other definition of straight), i.e. it cannot be angled to one side, and vertical, i.e. it cannot be sloped back.

I have left mine on the middle, but the workshop moved it up, so only a third of it protrudes into the intake area. Some shims help overcome the indentation in the bar, so it can sit flat. A slight bend back at the bottom and top would help airflow.

Cheers.

You can buy Cusco number plate mounts from Just Jap for $200 or you can buy 2 L-brackets from Bunnings for $5 and screw them in underneith the front bumper. That's what I did, but decided to move it back for the PSR Show.

I dont think rhs should be any problem at all,eg: a NISSAN nomad van is mounted stock on rhs. http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:6we0IF...33945-thumb.jpg this is the stock mounting spot..............so im guessing whats good for the goose is good for the gander...
