[QUOTE="OZ Dude, post: 2504916, member: 24398"] I just took a break from mounting my front plate! Unfortunately for me, the Dealer must have asked one of the apprentices to take out his best drill, put the dullest drill bit in it and push like buggary until it went through! You can even see where the chuck of the drill hit the bumper :cuss: I wasn't going to run a front plate but the laws just changed here and it's gone from a $79 fine to a $300 fine and a quarter of your points on your licence :dw: After a lot of deliberation on how to hide best what the dealer has done to my car (remembering that Oz number plates are TOTALLY different in size and shape to US ones) I am mounting two vertical brackets about 1/2" wide with 1/4" rubber on the back. The number plates will then clip into the brackets and not cause any further scratching or damage. It also means that if I want to put the bra on the front, it will neatly slip over the brackets and I can clip the plate back on over the top... If you don't have to have the plate, take the route that slowacobra did and put some push pins in there painted to match the car. Neat, cost effective and a good solution. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
