jim Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Em well, its got 2 hole underneath to bolt on to fixing brackets, i took them off for the show and to get detailed, so my plate is currently in the back seat. when i go out driving i whack it on the dash. Plan is to have it mounted in the bumper, with a high powered magnet so it stays on and pulls off when i want it to Awesome car Geo I've the ridox kit too, I mounted my plate into the recess on two L shaped brackets and it sits far enough back to be discreet but there's still space to allow some (accepted that it's a little restricted) airflow to the rad. I'd be interested to see how the magnet thing goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 93' 160,000km 100,000miles or so still a baby. Ahh well y'see it'll need stem seals doing, there may be syncros needing changed on the box and the whole suspension will need a refresh but I tell you what, since I love the colour, kit and spec, I'll give you £5k for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 £6k? Another one is on the horizon but realistically it'll be next year as I've got a few things on the go financially still. I've always said I'm 'between Supras' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 got a pic of it mounted dude?? yeah hope it goes well also, only thing is, iv got to cut into the Bumper. EEEEEEK! Not specifically of how it's mounted Geo, but I can take some if you like. I didn't have to drill into the bumper either, it's mounted to part of the frame, I bought 2 L shaped brackets out of b&q and bolted them on, then stuck the plate onto them. It's been like it for a couple of years at least and I've never had a problem with it either with the police or with it falling off etc. It looks like this - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 cool mate brothers in Arms Ridox Kit. Im sure though it would be restricting airflow round my Intercooler. You could turn your brackets up instead of down so that its flush with the smoothe part above it. Thats where mine will be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hinges would be the ticket, down when stationary then swung up while moving when the airflow hits it bruva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without a FMIC, I wouldn't put the license plate like this, as it would also hinder proper cooling of the rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a hand mate give me a shout. Buy a smaller digit private plate, that should let more air in if you mount in the radiator intake.
