charlton Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I've just bought a 5 digit registration coupled with an import size front number plate to help tidy up the front and lose the mammoth 7 digit UK version! Trouble is, this is now smaller than the Jspec bracket holder so it leaves an overhang on the sides. What other options are there or what have you guys done to mount the plate a bit cleaner? I was thinking of buying a standard Jspec bracket and chopping it down to size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1983 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have a standard Jspec holder on mine and fits perfectly with a 6 digit registration on the smaller type number plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Batch Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I've put mine on the corner of my bumper on an angle plate and 2 small m6 bolts with penny washers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 dont run a plate and just leave it in the window screen? not sure if it is legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl M N Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Would it be legal to have one stuck in the outside of your windscreen? Having it tucked away on your dashboard isn't really allowed I don't think but I don't see why there would be a problem with sticking it to the whole Dow with a strong enough adhesive.

Cam27 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I got a billet plate holder, it doesn't have a lip so gives quite a clean finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 dont run a plate and just leave it in the window screen? not sure if it is legal? Im sure its not legal ... however I have been running with no plate on the front bumper and plate sitting on the dash for years with no issues and have passed police loads of times Im sure it will happen one day when they tell me to fit it or I will get a fine/points though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have a standard Jspec holder on mine and fits perfectly with a 6 digit registration on the smaller type number plate. Show off dont run a plate and just leave it in the window screen? not sure if it is legal? I done this with my previous Supra starting with no front number slowly progressing up sizes each time I got a pull from the law . I don't fancy doing that again and giving the police an excuse to pull you over I got a billet plate holder, it doesn't have a lip so gives quite a clean finish Where did you get that from? It looks like it will still be too big but as you say, a bit cleaner on the edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I have the flip out plate for when im at shows etc. If you ever follow me you'll probably find i stop 2-5 minutes after setting off because i've forgotten to put it back out! You can see it nestled away here. Edited October 5, 2017 by Ric (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Could you kindly recommend where to buy one and drop a link on. Useful for track days as I'm not liking my decal plate as much these days. Bit marmite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
