How would I do this properly? is there any guides on how to do it and can someone post a CLOSE up pic of one that's already done so I can see exactly where to put it.

[Cobez]

Can i ask why? It doesn't restrict airflow to your cooler / radiator......

[bluevlblue]

Just wanna make sure I do it properly in the right place and know exactly where to do the holes

[Cobez]

Nah i meant why are you moving them?

[bluevlblue]

It looks better on the left side IMO

[Verynice]

Not on a stock VL it doesnt. Looks like your trying

[detox_nath83]

makes it Habib uleh

not much restriction really man i would not worry if u wanna just screw it on where u want it

[Cobez]

Yeah just drill two small holes where you want it, then use a Phillips head screwdriver and screw in. Easy. Just hold the plate up on the spot you want it, use a black texta to mark the screw holes through the existing holes in the number plate.

[VL_5SPEED]

most people just zip tie them on. And if your in an area with heaps of highway patrol expect to get raped its a defect for not having them in the fixed position.

why try hard ...i seen a topic in mmmmm street commodores or was it street machine about people "moving number plates".cannons on holdens and jet pilot stickers well the go fast stickers lol ... i think the topic in the issue was what not 2 do. for certan peoples lol

[Cobez]

That makes you even sillier for forming a generalisation because street commonwhores posted it in their shitty magazine lol. I find it more rediculous that they post articles on what "not to do" to your car. They have posted some pretty damn awful cars in their magazine over the years and claimed how good they look and go, when in my opinion, they look awful. And also, they have as you claimed, told people how gay it is to move their plates to one side of the bumper, yet almost every VL they put in their mag has plates to the side. SC can stfu and f.o.

If he moves his plates to one side, how is he being a try hard? What is he trying hard to do?

[STEALTHY™]

The section he's talking about is in the 'whats hot', and 'whats not'. Number plates on the side was in whats not, i assume.

Also, i don't think they just show the cars cause they go good etc, moreso to show the readers whats possible to do to their own cars.

How in the **** does moving a number plate make it wank factor? That makes no sense whatsoever. I personally think people with coolers who move their plates are equally as tarded as you say people who don't, a numberplate isn't going to restrict airflow to a cooler so much that it kills any performance.

If he wants to move his plates, so be it. This shouldn't even be argued over it's that trivial.

I can't remember, i gave up buying the Sc magazine a fair while ago, it's 60% ads and the rest is junk generally. There hasn't been a car in there that has made me go "Whoa!" since Zoltan Bodo's VP Senator.

Think about it cobez. If u owned a calais turbo and moved your plate to the side for cooling purposes. Then a GPA spec VL comes along with the plate on the side what would you think...

[Cobez]

Your point being? Why would i think anything. It's a car with a number plate that's been moved. It's utterly rediculous. Has everyone lost their minds?

IT'S A ****ING NUMBERPLATE!!

[fuzzy2308]

from memory you just screw it in to the bar or drill 2 holes (or more) thou the bar and put some small bolts in.

[fat084]

i found that if you use double sided tape on the back of your licance plate then put it where you think then if your happy use a self tapping screw and fix it to the bar

[rb26dett]

Cable tie it because you will get sick of the unwanted attention.

[TrikkBen]

OP, You said that the plate looks better on the Left side, but in the picture in post 1 they are on the Right??? HUH!

[bluevlblue]

Well they're on the left in the picture you know wut I mean
