Supra Gaz Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sorry, no pictures of Scarlett Johansen, it's east to know where to put things with her. My Supra is at the bodyshop having its do-luck wing fitted and being generally finished off, in the mean time I have the dilemma of where to stick my front number plate, preferably it would be in the bin, but as I drive into a nick every day that isn't an option. Here's some shots, suggestions and pics if you have some guys (and girls). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it you didn't read his post then Jazz Lovely car by the way Gaz, this is the first time I have seen proper full pictures of it!! Any pictures of the LED light at the front running? With regards to the plate, can't you just say "The number plate fell off, honest Guv" Sticker plate on the nose perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Cheers guys, I have had that thing down to the shell in and out to make sure everything is solid and right, I hve just kept pretty quiet about it. I'm pretty proud of it. I will take some pics with the LEDs on when it gets back if you like. God knows what to do with the numbetplate, they properly ruin the front of the car.

Lee_e Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I had a proper sized plate stuck behind the middle slat of the same bumper .. was bodged and basically wedged onto my FMIC !! That was the only real place to put it so the previous owner did Being part of the plod its kinda hard for you as you have to set an example. Dont envy you bud. Car will look stunning with do luck wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers dude, that is awesome if you could. You have kept quiet about it, would be great to see some progress pics! You should without a doubt get to the Fast Six Meet, would love to see it in person. With regards to the plate, with an after market bumper it is a huge issue. If it was me, I'd go with the sticker option. Wouldn't want to mount anything onto the bumper itself.

safcdixon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I would mount it on the passenger side intake hole, with a removable support bar this way at shows/meets you can remove the plate and bar They sell "some" (not sure if they would be correct size) plate relocation bars on ebay, but should be easy enough to knock one up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I would also offset it but it would be better without all together. Lovely car there Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I thought the sticker plates were illegal on a car though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 A square plate just left of the centre of the bumper. Between the indicator and the centre. I think that would look okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Why not buy a numberplate flipper so you can hide and show the plate when you want ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I would put it on a detachable L bracket attached to the top of the mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meet is my primary aim dude, should get it back next week then book it in for the mot, get my cat back put on and fit my new shiny radiator, then done. Actually finished for the first time in over a year! I wish I had taken more pics, I think I have some from when I took it to Austec (or AFR as it was then) with noting in the interior but a drivers seat and dash, that was quite loud. I'm not a huge fan of the stickers and they aren't 100% legal. - - - Updated - - - I would mount it on the passenger side intake hole, with a removable support bar this way at shows/meets you can remove the plate and bar They sell "some" (not sure if they would be correct size) plate relocation bars on ebay, but should be easy enough to knock one up This is a plan, I'm going to go do some eBay-ing!

Ian C Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think your options are automatically limited to "whatever is 100% legal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think your options are automatically limited to "whatever is 100% legal" Sad but true. I'm thinking passenger side pod under the led as has been recommended, I don't want to, but that's life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Stick on plate in the the center of the bumper, had mine on there for several years and never had a problem. I think anywhere not central to the car/bumper will look awful, just like it does on Alfa's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The stick-on ones aren't legal. Your options are pretty limited unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to put something together to have it on the passenger side pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Car looks great! good work! What exhaust have you got on there? are work OK with a slightly louder one? I'm debating if its a wise Idea to drive mine to the new job or not, not loud but a nice "rumble" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I had mine on the front where the mounting holes are but it was as a sticker. I had the size reduced by 10% on the lettering and trimmed the outer edges of the white part down a bit to suit. I never had any bother in the 6 months I owned the car and the present owner has had no bother either. The car is bright red, with black 19" alloys, tinted windows ALL around and no cat with a 5" tailpipe on a japcan...so it attracts attention as well. I think it just depends on how intent an officer is on filling in tickets to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm debating if its a wise Idea to drive mine to the new job or not, not loud but a nice "rumble" I have twin decat and a TRD sango cat back to pop on, it's new and has never been fitted! God knows how I got hold of it! I wouldn't worry too much about how loud the cars are, a few of the bike lads have some crazy loud stuff.

As long as ANPR can read it you are ok pretty much, and that read a mars bar wrapper recently (for a laugh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
