bk284 Member 101 Member For: 17y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Illawarra Posted 29/10/08 10:50 AM Share Posted 29/10/08 10:50 AM Hey guys I need some help. I have five figure personalised number plates but they dont fit on the boot of the car as the holes in the boot are fixed and I dont want to drill more holes. At the moment I have a strip of metal holdng the rear plate on but I have seen some people with a black plastic number plate backing. I want to know where I can get one if any of you know what I am talking about. Or if any of you have any suggestions as to how I could attach them give me a yell.ThanksBrendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to try the ford dealer. I have no doubt the guy will just look at me with that blank look. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have since been to a ford dealer and the bloke said he knew what I was talking about but he did not know where I could get one. There was even one on a G6E Turbo in the service department. It is only a small thing but my number plate is only just secured on the rear and continues to flap around. Any help would be appreciated. I always see them on other cars but have had no luck anywhere. I have even tried the local Expensive Daewoo dealer and nothing. I cant be going crazy, I know they exist.

I think I will want something a bit more secure though. Thanks Edited 09/12/09 07:40 AM by bk284 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
