rear number plate holes

[wook]

Has anyone modified the rear number plate holes? My holes are in the middle of the plate (which I don't want) and are off level anyway. I want to be able to use normal number plate holes to screw in, especially if i get custom plates. Had same issue on my calibra and i ended up using self tapping screws. Is there a better way of doing this?

just go to supercheap or similar. get a number plate frame. drill holes in that to suit car and mount numberplate in frame.

i made my own. got a piece of platis and cut it. screwed that on to the car and screwed the number plate onto the plastic thing

None of the number plate frames I have checked out there or any other auto store have a back,they just clip over the number plate
so it looks like a fabrication job or drill holes into the body and paint to stop rust and silicone to prevent leak

When the wife got custom plates for the Vectra I just pop-riveted the new plates on top of the old ones. No holes in the middle of her custom plates! :thumbs:

That would be good, but in Qld we have to hand back the standard plates when fitting personalised plates
